Garland was a wonderful person and a pleasure to have as a friend. He would do anything in his power to help one in need, which he did for us. We are very grateful for having him in our lives. May his soul rest in peace.

Garland was a good man and a good friend. He was one of the first people i was introduced to when i moved here and one of my oldest friends. I take comfort that Garland fought the good fight and will be forever in our hearts. "As long as you remember someone, they are never gone" I will remember Garland. Rest in peace Brother

In this life there are only a few people that you meet that have a lasting impact on your life. Garland was one of those in my life.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
