firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted May 26, 2011 I found out recently, a very good friend of mine, and agent from my statio is sitting in a hospital induced into a coma on life support. Agent Garza, 21 years old, tall, skinny, fit, suffered one possibly two heart attacks last week during our annual firearms qualifacations. Agent Garza is a very close friend of mine, and it kills me to know he is laying in a hospital bed, fighting for his life. There is an Agent sitting by his side 24 hours a day to offer spiritual support. Agent Garza is the main income, a home owner and provider for his mother and 2 sisters, a lot of responsibility to carry for a 21 year old young man. I ask that all of you that are of faith, and those of you whom are not please keep Agent Garza in your thoughts and prayers. I have attended too many LEO funerals lately, and I do not wish to attend one of a very close personal friend as well. Thank you all in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 All, I, as well as Josh appreciate the prayers. Please keep them coming. I was just informed of a few things. When this happened, it is belived his heart went with out blood for 10 minutes, and his brain went with out for 20 minutes. At this point, we are just hoping he doesnt have serious permanent brain damage. On a happier note, I was informed that he opened his eyes on his own yesterday. A step in the right direction, yet a marathon left to go to recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey: I was in a similar condition in 2002, except I was fortunate that the major attack that entirely blocked my LAD artery struck in a hospital that specialized in heart problems and cardiologists were able to install a stent and get blood flowing again within 13 minutes. I will pray for your friend. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
