Joe Garcia, the husband of Irma Garcia, one of two teachers who were shot dead at a school in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, has reportedly suffered a fatal cardiac arrest. Joe and Irma were high school sweethearts and were married for 24 years. They have left behind four children. Debra Austin, a cousin of Irma Garcia, has organized a fundraiser for Iram's kids.

"I am equally devasted to report Irma's husband Joe has tragically passed away this morning (5/26/2022) as a result of a medical emergency. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. I truly believe Joe died of a broken heart and losing the love of his life of more than 30 years was too much to bear," Debra said on the GoFundMe page.

Another Twitterati said, "This is extremely heartbreaking I'm praying for the kids losing both parents in a matter of 48 hours is just too much."
