Ernest Garrison Obituary

U.S. Veteran

Mr. Ernest Frank Garrison, 79, of Pooler, Georgia, passed away on Friday, February 28, 2025 at his home.

Ernest was born in Savannah, Georgia and was preceded in death by his wife of 49 years whom he loved dearly, Anita Doreen Garrison, and his parents, Cecil L. and Carolyn Olsen Garrison. He served his country in the United States Navy, and retired from the Boilermakers Union. He was known for his good sense of humor, and for being a hard worker, doing whatever it took to provide for his family. He enjoyed sports, especially racing and football, animals, fishing, and old cars. He will be remembered for being loyal, a gentleman, but most of all, a loving husband and father.

Survivors include his children, John Garrison, Christopher Kyle Garrison, and Courtney Kendall Garrison, and his sister, Maura Garrison "Meg".

The visitation will be on Friday, March 7, 2025 from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the funeral home. The service to honor Ernest's life will follow at 11:30 a.m. in the chapel of the funeral home.
