May 17, 2011 / 2 Comments


Its never a call you wanna get, or hear word that someone in the automotive community has passed away…and its especially hard when only 30 days later you have to say farewell to the younger brother. You would have found Dustin and Zach cruising around on any given Thursday night here in Mcallen- Zach being in his Trans-Am or his Lifted Truck, and Dustin showing up in what seemed to be something different every week…and the thing about these two young men is that they would associate with everyone, regardless of make or model of your car or who you “rolled” with. Ive known their older brother Daniel Allen Garcia, Danny, for a long while now- and I was able to be a guest at their home on several occasions while I was going through a rough time in my life. That’s one thing about Danny that these brothers shared- they had huge hearts, it didn’t matter what the situation was- they always made sure you were ok, getting over what was wrong, and putting a smile on your face- Dustin was especially very good at this…
The Hinojosa family needs support and prayers right now in this hard time- and as we say farewell to two of the most down to earth individuals I urge you all to remember the good memories you had with them. I’ll always remember the times when Danny was helping me wrench on my civic with little Dustin sitting somewhere in the back just watching…soaking it all in. Dustin and Zack- it was an honor to have gotten to know you all while you were with us, We’ll be seeing you one day guys- til then watch over us from time to time.
RIP Zachary and Dustin

    I’m always going to remember that phone call I got from Tabbee when she informed me of the tragic news. I was so confused & I couldn’t belive a word she said to me. Hasn’t sunk in yet considering he’s so young and I just met up with him a few days before this happened. He was always around in the streets and we would always randomly run into each other. That’s kind of how I met him. I was in my Civic driving down Ware road and another Civic pulls up next to me revving all crazy. My car didn’t have many mods but I was like fk it so we did a few runs. I got him the 1st time haha then I got raped the 2nd & 3rd time. We ended up meeting at Sonic and he taught me a few things that I needed to know about my Honda scince I had just gotten it and I didn’t know anything about it. Lol.
    Just other day I was driving down old 83 and remembering to be careful because people were just getting out of the clubs. Then some truck started tailgating me as I was driving my del Sol. I was break checking the truck like crazy and it would’nt get off my tail. Then it pulls up next to me and turns out it was little Dustin LMAO it was so funny. That would always happen every now and then and I would never know who it was because it was always a different vehicle! Haha. That was his goofy side. He had a soft side too. I remember us hanging out at his house and he was just laying down on his sofa with his cat on his chest and he would give the cat kisses and hugs as we were conversating. I know it will hit me hard on Thursday, the day we always call each other to see where we’re parked. There was NEVER a dull moment with Dustin around I’m going to miss him GREATLY. I love you Dustin. Rest in peace.
