Once you met Garret you had a friend, a good friend and in many cases, a best friend for life. Garret’s loving ways started as a young toddler from his strong cheek kisses to his tight bear hugs as he got older. A most compassionate being with a heart for anyone who needed one.

Garret strived to be a better version of himself throughout his life with his curious nature and never ending thirst for knowledge.
Garret’s quirky and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor was infectious. Garret was always smiling and had an unforgettable breathy laugh that made others laugh just listening to him.

Garret was always ready for a new adventure, making new memories but mostly just having a good time.
