Howard Garrick Obituary
Howard Taysum Garrick passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family, August 20, 2022 at Adventist Health and Rideout Hospital at the age of 89. He was born February 7, 1933 to John and Henriette Garrick in Inglewood, California, the youngest of five children. While attending Inglewood High School, he met the love of his life, Carol Ann Wade. On June 8, 1954, they were married in St. George, Utah and recently celebrated their 68th anniversary.
Howard joined the Air Force and after 30 years serving his country all over the world including assignments to Saudi Arabia and Ramstein AFB, Germany, he retired as Lt. Colonel while serving at Beale AFB.
Howard loved history and after his military career, he shared that love with his students as a history teacher at Sutter High School. Selfless service was a priority for Howard and that was evident as he served his family, his country and his Heavenly Father. Howard was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and had the opportunity to serve in many leadership positions.
Howard was preceded in death by his son, Jeffry Wade and his grandson, Justin Howard.
He is survived by his wife, Carol and children Pam (Steve) Hoskins, Terri (Jerry) Anderson, Randy Garrick, Janel (Russ) Warenski, David (Sari) Garrick and Laura Garrick. Howard is also survived by 21 grandchildren and 44 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Beth Smith.
Funeral services will be held Friday, August 26, 2022, 10:00am at the LDS Clark Street Chapel in Yuba City, CA. Arrangements are under the direction of Ullrey Memorial Chapel.

I read a post on social media today asking who my favorite teacher from high school was. Although this was about 25 years ago, Mr Garrick was my favorite. I caught him at the tail end of his teaching career, but he left a lasting mark on me concerning united states history and politics. Rest in peace Mr Garrick.

We first met and befriended Howard and Carol Garrick and family when transferred to Beale Air Force Base, CA in August 1979. The Garrick family was already at Beale when we arrived and our initial meeting was at the LDS Church located on the east side of Marysville, California. During our five year assignment at Beale our on-base residence was just up the hill on Altamonte Drive from their residential quarters situated along the perimeter road in the west portion of the officer housing area close to the creek which coursed along that western boundary. Howard was assigned as the Executive Officer at the 100th Air Refueling Wing Headquarters which supported the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing flying the SR-71 "Blackbird" high altitude super-sonic airplane with mid-air refueling capability for its world-wide photo-reconnaissance missions. I interacted with Howard regularly while assigned as Chief of Base Operations and Training Division, Deputy Base Commander, and as Chief of the Base Procurement Division. He was thoroughly professional, and perfectly organized at the weekly Wing Commander's staff meetings gracefully coordinating all the staff functions. We experienced many delightful family and social occasions with the Garricks, both at Church and at a variety of military affairs. Retirement from the Air Force took us in different directions, but we remained aware of each other, and now some 40 years have passed into history.
We offer humble prayers for Howard and all the family, and continue to have many wonderful memories and enduring gratitude for the honor of having known and been associated in the long ago past.
John Bell, Carmelina Bell (from her paradisaical "perch") and all our family
