Brian Garlock Obituary
The victim was Brian Christopher Garlock, 17, who would have been a junior in August at Butler.
Police say he was driving a 2000 Honda Civic and was trying to make a left turn from Blue Heron Drive onto westbound Pineville-Matthews Road about 11:50 a.m.
According to police, Garlock pulled into the path of a pickup truck that was eastbound on Pineville-Matthews Road and was struck on the driver's side by the truck. The collision then pushed Garlock's car around, and it was hit on the passenger's side by another truck that was eastbound on Pineville-Matthews Road.
The victim was rushed to a hospital but died.
Neither driver of the trucks involved in the wreck was injured.
Garlock had been a starting member of the Butler High golf team as a sophomore.

Hello, I did not know your son, Brian. He looks like someone I wish I had been blessed to call a friend. I'm sorry you lost him, I truly am. You and your husband are very loved, I hope you believe that. May the peace that passes all understanding be with your entire family.

I saw the blog on MOMSCHARLOTTE.com this morning. I grew up in Mint Hill but have not lived there in many years now. I still love it there. It is a beautiful place. I do not know you nor did I know Brian. I have a good friend that lost her son in Feb 08. He too had been in an auto accident and had severe brain injuries. Her son was 19 yrs old. His name was Nicholas Norton. He was my son's best friend. He stayed at my house alot and was a big part of my family. They were very close and almost inseperable. He was like a son to me too. It is very difficult to go thru these times of sorrow. My son still goes and spends the night at Nicholas's house with his family. We miss him so much.It is very important for all of Brian's friends to continue to write comments and to stay in touch with Brian's family. It has been a big help for me and Nick's mom to see the postings of all of Nick's friends on this site and MEM.com.Just know that everyone is praying for you all to recover and to begin living again. It will be a long while so pls don't be disapointed or depressed if it doesn't happen in a year. We are all still coping with Nick's loss and it is still very hard. The Holidays are going to be the worst. I know Brian's birthday just passed (nov6th) and Nick would have celebrated his 20th birthday on Nov 4th. Remember to keep his spirit alive and to always talk about him. I believe this will help in the healing process. It is also good to keep journaling. I am praying for you all to recooperate and to find happiness again even tho it seems like you never will. Thoughts and Prayers Always...

I once thought of Brian as a nephew of my own. I knew him as a little boy; and even then, he was amazing! He always knew how to make me smile and was always wearing a magical smile of his own! I didn't have the honor of watching him blossom over the years, but from reading many of your words, it sounds like he really turned out to be an amazing young man...touching the lives of many, many people. He most definitely touched me...in ways that he never even knew. He was such a sweet, caring and funny little boy. I truly did love him and always will! He has a very special place in my heart just of his own…and I’ll never forget him! Tammy, John and the girls…my heart truly goes out to you and I promise to keep you in my prayers. I know that it doesn’t stop the pain that you’re feeling right now, but just know that this isn't the end...I really do believe we will see that magical smile once again. What a glorious day that will be! Take care and I love you all!

We did not know Brian and we just know June and Jerry from our weekend visits to Boone. We were so saddened by the news of the passing of this child. There are no words to help you through. Only your faith in God can reassure you that Brian is in Heaven. Be comforted that your family has many prayers going out for you from people you do not even know. God be with you.

I was Brian's kindergarten and first grade teacher at Lebanon Road Elementary School. I have a photo of him and I on the last day of school that I have always cherished. I loved that little boy so much. We recently found each other on Facebook and I was so proud of the wonderful young man he had become. My heart is truly broken today, as I just heard the news. Your family is in my thoughts, I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Beloved Son, how we miss you so;
We are trying hard to let you go.
Every day, we attempt to face,
This world without you in your place.
Our comfort is that you're not alone,
as God saw fit to call you home.
Well done, Brian...
Love always...Dad & Mom

Before I set off to Dave Matthews Band, I'm reminded of Two Step, a song you hated listening to while I was driving because it's 10 minutes long; you'd go BETH! Why isn't this song over yet. Well Brian, "Celebrate we will, for life is short but sweet for certainwe're climbing two by two
to be sure these days continue,
things we cannot change..."
I love and miss you dearly.

When I consider the hour that will come In which my spirit will be one with God, it is then that my joy will be complete; It is then that I will see the whole creation. All of it's secrets will be revealed to me and my knowledge will be perfect; The galaxies will be at arm's distance, I will touch the stars with my bare hands; The beauty of every flower, mountain and valley no longer will be a secret, and every creature will reveal to me the immense, awe-inspiring world created by God's loving hand. And as I stroll on the bottom of the oceans, ride a comet through a million stars, or watch a flower grow, I will look in the eyes of other angels to meet in them the same beatitude in which my spirit rejoices.

" Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamonds glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die".

To the Garlock family --
My husband and I have been friends with Jerry and June (Brian's grandparents for over twenty years. In fact, we've been business partners with them that long. When we moved to Boone, NC they welcomed us with open arms. They are two of our very closest friends. We both love them so. Reading these entries have started my tears flowing. Yesterday, I spoke with June and cried with her. I did not know Brian or never met John but my heart goes out to them all. Grief is a horrendous thing to go through. I know it will be hard to believe now, but, it takes a long time for your hearts to heal. Slowly, you will stop thinking about it every minute of the day, and very slowy you will only think about it several times a day. Then, slowly, you will think about it less and less as time goes on and one morning you will awaken and know that God is holding your grief in His hands and that He is healing your tears. Just think that God gave Brian to all of you for 17 wonderful years of his life and He has now made his decision to bring him back home. He is smiling and looking down on you and caring so much for the sadness you are feeling. He was loaned to us by God for 17 wonderful years and was loved by all who knew of him. Our deepest sympathies go out to all of you.
With love,
Bev and Harry Rosen

Grace,
I had the joy of going to Mint Hill with you when you where in 6th grade. I got to come back and see you and realize how much you've grown. I know how special your brother was to you. I didnt get to spend a lot of time with him but i met him twice because of you. You are an AMAZING girl and will do great with anything you choose to do. The words im Sorry don't even begin to describe how horrible i feel for you. You loved your brother so much and i cant imagine my life without my own brother. But Grace you are STRONG and can handle this i know its hard but i KNOW you can do it. I love you always and wish you nothing but good luck and happiness in the future.

" The broken chain-- We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again"

Dear John and Tammy,
I had the privlege of meeting Brian, spending my birthday with him, spending spring break with him, and having some of the most amazing memories I have, with Brian. He was such an amazing person and all I can ask is why? Life's not fair and I'm so angry at God but I can only know that Brian is looking down on me everyday because I believe that he truly is my guardian angel. When I met you both, I could see right away where he got his sense of humor and his amazing personality. Thank you so much for letting your son be such an inspiration to me. I'm praying for you!
To Grace & Beth, I truly believe you were the best sisters that Brian could ever of asked for. Grace, your so loving and caring and I know Brian looked out for you. Beth, I know Brian looked up to you as his big sis and even though i didn't get to meet you until Sat., you are still an amazing person in my heart.
We Love You!

Dear Garlock Family;
I had the privilege of teaching Brian and Grace at Mint Hill Middle. Brian's smile and friendliness could brighten a room instantly. He was always quick to ask how you were doing and always willing to lend a helping hand. My heart hurts deeply for you.....may it comfort you in some way to know that Brian's short life made a difference to so many.

Garlock Family and Sunny,
My heart goes out to you for the tremendous loss you have suffered. But have peace for Brian lived life to the fullest. He lived every moment as if it was his last, leaving this world with no regrets. Not only did Brian find happiness in this world but as well as the next. His faith in Christ ensured his destiny allowing us to see him again one day. There is no end to how much he loved Sunny and his entire family. Take pride in that Brian was raised to be a great son, brother, boyfriend, and friend. Hopefully you were able to get a small glimpse of how great Brian's impact was on so many people. We all loved and cherished him and with time God's plan for Brian's short but sweet life will be revealed. Be strong for Brian, have peace in his faith, and live out his legacy. May my prayers surround your family!

There are no words that can express the sorrow that come from the loss of your child. I will keep you and our family in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry that I could not make it there to tell you all in person. I can only think that GOD called him home for some reason that will be revealed when we go to join him. Know that he is in a better place, and he is happy. I know that does not help you feel his loss any less, but I hope that in time it will help overcome your sorrow. Remember the many memories that you have stored in your heart. He will forever be there with you. GOD watches over all his own. I love you all. I pray for you to find peace in your hearts.

Brian,
I had two clases with Brian in the 7th at Mint Hill Middle school. He would come in every day with a smile on his face and ready to have some fun. We joked and laughed lot's of time in class, but never did i see Brian come in nor leave with a frown or a sad face. Brian was just a great guy to be around, he was always possitive and that's something that you don't see in everyone. but some day we will continue the jokes and laughter in a better place.
Dear Parents,
i know that it will be rough going through this fathers day without Brian, and no words can express the way the you feel. but I hope that you have the best fathers day possible. and i just wanted to say that i'm sorry for your loss and that you will be in my thought's and prayer's.
sincerely, C.J. Hathcock

To all of his friends, I challenge you to honor what Brian has meant to you in your lives to now become a part of what others will see in your lives. Bless others in the ways in which Brian has blessed you. Having lost a twin brother at age 19, time will soothe the void, but I know we all will never forget his special blessings in each of our lives. My prayers are with all of his family and friends.

Although words cannot come close to expressing the feelings, please know that I am so saddened and truly sorry for the loss that you are experiencing. I was the Pool Mgr. at Pine Lake when Brian was a rising 5th/6th grader. He was one of the "pool rats" that while constantly looking for trouble, he was always friendly to me and enjoyed talking with me. My daughters simply loved him and the humor that he always provided. They had many afternoons of fun at the pool. Brian and I actually had some nice conversations, he was genuinely glad to talk to me daily.
My husband was Brian's DARE officer and would talk about the smiles and laughter that Brian provided in class. He said that Brian reminded him of himself as a young man.
My daughter, Kacey, also a rising junior seemed to always have a spark for Brian, and she would keep me updated on him throughout the years.
God Bless You as you journey forward. My prayers are with you for healing.

Garlock Family,
I had the pleasure of teaching Brian and Grace at Mint Hill Middle. Brian was always full of smiles and happiness. He was a fun student, always ready with an entertaining comment to keep thiings rolling. I was lucky to continue seeing Brian periodically at Pine Lake, and I was able to keep up with his high school happenings through his mom, Tammy. As a mother of two sons, my heart simply breaks over and over when I think about this loss. I send bunches of hugs and love to the entire Garlock family. Grace--you have SO many friends--please call on them often to help you through this. Brian--I will miss seeing your happy face!

To Brian.
Brian Garlock was no doubt the best friend you could ever ask for. I met Brain in the 6th grade and ever since then we continuously grew closer and closer. He was one of my best friends and I will never forget his contagious smile, corny jokes, and heart warming hugs. I love you so much Brian Garlock and we will always be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!

Beth,
I know I told you tonight but just wanted to say again how very sorry I was to hear about your brother. I know you are trying to be strong for your family. God always gives you strength when you need it. Please hold on to that and he will comfort you always. Call me again if you just need to cry or talk. God Bless you and your family during this difficult time. Take care.
Love,
Betsy and Buddy
