THOMAS GARTH Obituary

Thomas Garth was a graduate of Airframe and Powerplant at Reedley College. He worked in construction and loved working with his hands. His greatest joys were being outdoors and fishing with his wife, Desiree Garth; son Patrick Garth, four years; and daughter, Lily Garth, 19 months. He was preceded in death by his brother, Patrick James Garth. He is survived by his father and stepmom, Marshall "Mike" Garth, Jr. and Robin Roth; mother and step-dad, Rebecca Garth-Nelson and Jim Nelson; his siblings, Marshall and Jennifer Garth; step-brothers, Jimmy, Bob, and Peter Nelson; step-sister, Alyssa Bandoni; and their families. Tommy was a strong and loyal friend who is greatly missed.

Thomas's memorial service was located at Community United Church of Christ on November 6th @ 1 p.m. There was not a dry eye that day. In the days to come we will find our strength to share memories. Please share any memories with me, Desiree Garth his wife. I plan to share all these silly, scary, happy, terrible, stupid, and just plain normal memories with his children as they grow older. They will be comforted by his friends, family, acquaintances and just any sort of remembrance of him to help them understand who there daddy was. Please share with me by message or mail or text. I share the love of my life with you, Thank you all that came.
