Garth R. Sangree

Such good memories of Garth. My wife and I remember his helping at the Gabriel House and involvement with the college and student ministries. Him winning powerfully in the Pink 4 Jon race. Garth had a servants heard and loved those who others overlooked. Our prayers continue for his mom and family.

I think of Garth frequently and just wanted to put it out in the world that I'm thinking about him now. I was just a friend of a friend on the same intramural dodgeball team, but I want him to know wherever he's at that he always put a smile on my face, and I'm sure his memory will live on through myself and others for a very, very long time.

A year ago today when Garth didn't show up at church and wouldn't answer his phone, I realized something wasn't right. I used the find my friends app to track his phone to the beach and found it in his car using the spare key under the wheel well. My heart sunk and I fell into a state of shock.

He would peacefully choose a vacant...

A sweet loving thoughtful soul. He has made the most of his time here living out the love of Christ. From the bottom of his heart and with swift feet he genuinely purposed his life for Gods good. He has left a legacy of boldness and grace in Christ's name.

In our earlier years I remember Garth as Garth and Kara. I remember their closeness. It was evident since baby booties that he loves his sister. The two of them were the best to babysit so sweet and obedient. This attested to a...

Oh Garthy Garth,

I've been trying to find the right words, but I don't know if I ever will. So I'm just going to tell you how thankful I am to have been able to know you. Every memory I have with you is so full of laughter and fun. Thank you for being such a joy to know. Thank you for exemplifying the gospel so well to everyone you met. Thank you for your kindness to others, your thoughtfulness in friendship, your humble strength in leadership, and your faithfulness to everyone around...
