I met Mr Garrison 11 years ago @ Fairwinds Baptist School where my son attended pre k3-7th grade.He would greet every child and parent every morning with a smile and even a big hug.I grew very fond of Mr Garrison and thought of him as part of my family. My sister and I will miss him very much..We visited him several times while he was being treated at the hospital and at his home.We will never forget him! Our thoughts and prayers will be with the family.

Mr. Garrison was a nice man. Everytime I seen him, he would always have a smile on his face and would always make sure that he spoke to you that day. He loves to talk. He will be missed.
