Antonio Garrincha Ibarra, Bakersfield, CA — The community is mourning the loss of Antonio "Garrincha" Ibarra, who passed away recently on July 23, 2024. Antonio was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, remembered for his loving and humorous nature.
Antonio, born in Mexico, moved to Bakersfield, CA in his early 20s. He worked as an agriculture foreman and retired from the fields in his 50s. He was known for his passion for soccer, particularly for "Las Chivas", and his love for his grandkids, whom he was proud to be called "Tata". His wife, affectionately called "Mi Flaca", was the love of his life.
He faced numerous health complications over the years, including brain bleeds, heart valve replacements, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure. Despite these challenges, Antonio remained a warrior, fighting with humor and love until his last breath.
