Garrett was a wonderful young man that we were fortunate to get to know and love. He was always helpful, and went out of his way to help us, many times, but especially when we were repairing our pool.
It was great when he brought his family over to swim and party by the pool. We will miss Garrett, he was a very special husband, father and friend.
We will pray for Garrett, Jessica, Nataleigh, and Colin.
Love Always,
Robert and Kookie
