John Nance "Cactus Jack" Garner is buried in the Garner family plot in Uvalde cemetery, a few miles west of Uvalde on the US 90.
Garner was a colorful and frequently profane figure in state and national politics, who most famously observed that "The vice presidency was not worth a bucket of warm piss." He said this some time after accepting FDR's offer of the Vice Presidency.
