We've lost a great person. Garrett was a warm, fun and kind individual. His journey from precocious youth to kind young man was punctuated by a simplicity of spirit that stayed with every one who knew him. He was fun, always up for a good game or a good laugh. He was competitive, but in an enjoyable way. Whether he had you pinned down behind a tree in paintball, or getting a good shot off in basketball, Garrett was fun to compete with. He grew to become a very skilled and reliable worker. I will never walk up the path that he and Nick built for Bridget's wedding without remembering him. Perhaps the one thing I respected the most about Garrett was his kindness that belied his age. Many times over the past years when we got together, he would be the “in-betweener� too young to enjoy the conversations of the parents and often much older than the rest of the children. Garrett would politely sit and listen to the parents then slip away; not to be by himself, but to be with the kids. Before you knew it, you would see him out in the yard with a great big smile on his face, playing with the kids, who would be hanging all over him. Nick and Carol raised a fine young man. He will be missed by everyone.
