Our Beloved David:
We miss you so very much. Think about you everyday, but also have so many fond memories, your special smile, warm hugs and outgoing personality. You never met a stranger.
You and your Dad had such a special loving relationship. So many conversations about almost everything, especially your love of music, religion, and sometimes even politics.
Until we meet again.
We love you so very much;
Dad & Mary

David, my precious little brother, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I still miss you so much. I will be in Houston next week and it will be 2 years next week that we hung out, talked, laughed (for the last time) and said good-bye. If I had only known that would be the last time I'd see you, that last hug the morning I left coming home would have lasted a little longer. You always gave the best hugs ever. The plans, the dreams we talked about all gone in a heartbeat. I love you so much David and I'll see you again one day. Until then.....

My dad is up visiting for the holiday and we spent the other evening watching the dvds of you at the Outback. I am so thankful to have that. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you buddy.

Hey Bud,Like everyday,we miss that smilin face of yours.I used to think,especially when I first met you, how funny it was when you would walk in the door, you'd be just singing away. I was like, "What is with this guy?!"After awhile ,I did'nt even notice it.It was just your way of saying "Howdy".I sure miss that.I know you're smiling down on us and watching over all of your family and loved ones. God Bless you Brother,You'll ALWAYS be in our hearts.

Hey Dave,
Been a while thought I would drop in a say hey! Vanessa and I are going to Galveston this weekend for her birthday/Valentine's day/Maudi Gras and I was thinking about all the flooding/damage from Hurricane Ike that you filmed. I am sure that was probably one the most exciting assignments you had the on the job. It will be intense seeing all the damage in person than on tv. Well you are still in our minds and truly missed brother. BTW the headstone your family got for you it is really nice & we will come by and visit again soon. Love ya bro!
February 3, 2009
If compassion and caring is what makes one great, you were truly excellent. I just wanted to drop a line. I miss you. I wish I could talk to you. I think about you all the time. You would laugh when I said that Tom Keiffer said it best when he said "you don't know what you've got until its gone". Is that not the truth!The best part of you is that when I think of you I smile, it makes me happy both inside and out. I honestly don't think I will ever find another friend as caring and honest and real as you.

Hey Dave, Well it's a new year (could'nt wait to get rid of "08")and we're having a really mild winter. It was alot colder this time last year when you came out. We could not believe that it snowed when you were here in October.Well, Amy and I have found out one for sure,as time goes by the pain seems to ease up a little bit,but, we miss you more and more everyday.We know you're doing o.k. up there; just miss your phone calls,hearing your voice and your laugh, and seeing your smiling face walk thru our door (singing of course-ha).Amy,your loving sister,(bless her heart) will never be the same.She misses you so much and is having a pretty tough go of it.There was never any doubt in my mind how much she loved you, now I really know. SHE WAS (and still is) SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!! Please help me help her to get thru this.We've seen alot of weird activity in the sky lately,we just know it,s you telling us that everything is going to be o.k. We pray everyday for you and all the people that your passing has affected (friends,family...).You are truely missed and loved by all of us.Take care Brother, We'll talk to again soon, Love G.K.& Amy

Hey Bro, Just wanted to drop you a quick note and say Happy New Year to you. We were sure thinking about you last nite.We broke out the pit,threw on some chicken,sausage,a pork tenderloin,and some stuffed clams. I know you could smell it,that smoke was going straight up to the heavens.Sorry,don't mean to torture you with it.I know how much you love that chicken.I can only IMAGINE the party you went to.I'm sure there's an ALL-STAR BAND playing at that party.And,the best part is you could party all you want; no hangover,don't have to drive home and you had the best view of all the celebrations!!We watched the sky all night and knew you were smiling down on us,we could feel you all the way brother.It was never New Years until we talked to you,so this year can be no exception.Help God guide us through these rough times. As always, we miss you and love you alot. ROCK ON BRO!!!

Hey Brother,
We just wanted to tell you Merry X-mas (I know a little late). But you were on our mind over the holidays. Hey I was wondering what do they do in heaven for x-mas? You can get back to later on that.... We plan to come visit you for New Years and have a beverage with you. We miss you and you are always in our thoughts! Take it easy up there.
Later Bro!

Even though I met you seven years ago and hadn’t seen you in years, I still thought about you. There are some people you meet in life that you will never forget and for me you were one of those people. I did not anticipate the heartache and pain I feel of your passing as the days and weeks go by. I have wept for you many rivers. I will never forget the first night we met. Also our day at the beach was the best time I had at a beach ever! You are such a compassionate person. Both of our love of music and the joie de vivre of life, we had, bonded us. Every time I hear “Your Song’” I always think of you as it was your favorite love song. . . “. . .How wonderful life is while you’re in the world.” Sweetie your passion for life and your kindness I will never forget. You will always remain forever young my sweet boy. I adored you and I’m so sad that you are no longer here. My heart aches that Adam will not grow up to know his daddy. Adam your daddy was a fantastic man and his memory will live on. May God bless you with all things good. I will never forget you David. I will see you in the heavens above. With all my Love. . .

Dave, you will truly be missed, and were loved by all whom you encountered. Through the close relationship we developed through your close frienship with my son Mike. I grew very quickly to think of you as a third son. I know where you are right now. and I can only hope that soon we will be able to laugh together again. With Love, Dick Grooms

I really just don't know where to begin. I have a pain in my heart not just for my loss of a dear friend, but for all the other friends and family members who were blessed with the opportunity to know Dave. I was always amazed through the years how he managed to keep up with everyone. He always made it a point to never let anyone's friendship fade away. Yes, some years might pass, but reconnecting with Dave was always a sweet reminder of just how wonderful of a person he was. Dave was a true artist deep down in his soul. His love of music was so much more than a hobby or a radio in his car to listen to. He crosses my mind everytime I hear Metallica, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, The Beatles ect..., he always has. He heard and appreciated things in most songs that few of us notice. Every song to him was a life force with a story, emotions and a soul. I know that my deep love of music (which drives my husband crazy, by the way) comes from everything I learned and experienced with Dave. I even catch myself playing air guitar on my steering wheel sometimes, which was his first instrument of choice. Dave always loved with all of his heart. He was one of the few people I know who could love truly unconditionally. We could all learn from his passion for life, his son, and his family. Thank God I took so many pictures when we were younger, I will treasure them always. He always has and always will have a very special place in my heart. I will never forget him. I love you David. Thank you for everything. I miss you deeply.

Dave, I had the privilege of getting to know you through River Pointe during the past year. You were a sharp, sensitive, intelligent man who hid behind a rapier wit and dry sense of humor. When you came into the group, you immediately took over the conversation and the crowd, and we were more than happy to let you do it because oh, the stories you could tell! We miss you at the services, Dave, and the casual lunches that led well into the afternoon at Willie's afterwards. But we know you're having fun up in heaven. Can't wait to see you there, boo!

Dave, you made us all laugh, we shared such a hard time in our lives, and you came along and made us all realize things could be worse and to look at life in a positive way. We enjoyed watching your faith grow. We will miss you at functions and church. So many have come to DR because of your life. You continue to lead people even in death. We love you

Dave,
We have had a lot of good times over the last 20 years. I remember meeting in 1988, when you lived across the street from Vanessa back in high school. Then to us working together back at the Olive Garden in 94’. Well from there you got a job as a DJ, working nights at 101 KLOL. Which was awesome seeing you grow and move up on the career ladder. Plus who would not want to work at the biggest rock station in Houston at that time. I thought it was so cool when I got to go hang with you while your were working there. Well while this was going on we hung out at least 4-5 days a week. I remember (vaguely) the times we went to Maude Gras in Galveston, the first time you Vanessa & I took your little Chevy s10 then cam back to “wild” party at Robert and Michael’s apt. The next was when we rented the beach house for the weekend with Robert, Lacy and Vanessa. What a weekend that was!! We can’t forget the countless parties we had at “the house” that had the hot tub!!! Another thing I will never forget is when you, Vanessa, and I went and saw Pulp Fiction when it came out in the movies (what a classic). Shortly after that we all went our own ways, guess you could say it was time to act our age somewhat. This was about the time I got married to my ex-wife and moved out of Houston and had a couple of kids. Regretfully we did not hang out much after that, although I do remember you & Sean coming out to one of my birthday parties to jam on my deck. It was after that we had lost touch with each other, we did talk on occasion, but we had separate lives and were not living to close to one another. Then after I separated from my ex-wife we re-established contact more often through myspace and phone. At this point I was back with Vanessa (engaged) and planning a wedding. I was so glad when you came to my bachelor party (which I know we all enjoyed) and to my wedding (another night that will not be forgotten). Also at my wedding, is when I met your son Adam for the first time, which was awesome to see you as a father for the first time. After my wedding I landed a good job back in Houston, so I moved back down here where I belonged closer to all my old friends and family. Since then we have gotten together with our kids & once again had good times, just now on a more mature level. I don’t think I got to tell you how grateful I am that you came out to birthday at Café Adobe and that you came and hung out on your birthday at my house which was the last day we got to hang out together. Well Dave, you will never be forgotten and from now on I will come visit you on your birthdays and we will still have a drink and smoke for old times sake! I love you brother! BTW tell all the legends up there I said “what’s up man?”!! This is not a good bye, cuz we will see each other again!
So until the then….”later dude!!”.
Your Friend,
Rex Alan Baldwin Jr.

Amy,
I only met Dave once but I always remembered him. I got comfort watching news high-speed chases and hearing his voice and thinkin' "I know that dude!". I am sorry for your loss and I do know what you are going thru. I lost a brother too. Everything is your life now will be marked bu "before Dave died" or "after Dave died." You'll never get over it. but you will comfort in the fact that he is in a better place and that he was so loved here on earth. Call me if you ever wanna talk.

To my sweet and wonderful brother David Powell Garrett,
I love you Bro. You have touched so many people with your tenderness, humor, talent, forgiveness, and unconditional love.
I am so glad I got to spend such a wonderful time with you, it is etched in my memory forever. I'm so very thankful you found peace and christ through your friends at River Pointe Church. Adam, the apple of your eye, as you were to mine, will always know his daddy through family and very dear friends. Thank you bro, for loving me and accepting me just the way I am, just as you did for everyone who knew you.
Your love for music has always been evident, however, you also had many other interests which you were equally as passionate about. I miss you.
all my love forever and always, your sis amy

It is very difficult to comprehend why God has taken you away from us so soon. Dave you were truly a man among men. To this day, I have never met anyone so compassionate, considerate, caring, and willing to listen as you. I met Dave in 1988 and had the privelage of being his friend ever since. I will miss the phone conversations, the cd's of your music you sent, but I have the memories and nothing will ever take that away. It makes me smile when I look back at all the good times we had. You are in my heart and that's where you will always be. As long as I keep you there, you will never be gone. Everyone that knew you is as a better person for it. Thank you so much Dave, thanks for being my friend. I love you, I always will. Adam, there is no one like your father, I cannot put into words how great of a man your dad was.

Dave, You were a great friend to my son and also very special to our entire family over the past 20 years. We all have so many wonderful memories of the laughter, good conversations, love for your family, and of course the music you would so happily share. We will cherish the memories and hold you in a special place in our hearts. May your family find comfort in knowing how many people were impacted by your kind loving soul and know there must have been a very special calling to take you away so soon.

October 22, 2008
While it so hard to wrap our minds around the fact that David is no longer with us physically, we know that his Spirit will live on in each person that loved him and knew him. I believe David would want us all to live as he did. Love a little deeper. Forgive more freely. Appreciate each other more. Don't ever let a day go by without telling those you love and care about how much they mean to you because not one of us knows when we will be called to our Heavenly Home. Too, David would want to ensure that each one of his friends and family would join him in Heaven one day. WILL DAVID SEE YOU THERE? With the hustle and bustle of life and living in different states, we did not often get to see and visit with each other but David was still family and his absence will certainly leave a void in our lives. I rest in the assurance that David was saved and made it to his eternal home and will forever live in the eternal presence of our Lord. This is not a forever goodbye David but simply, I'll see you later!

I knew you when you were just a little pixie faced little boy.You have always been sensitive beyond belief, creative, having a zest for life, displaying supreme kindness and having a capacity to love that was awesome. I know God wanted you, because you are so special. We love you so very much and miss you, but I will see you again some day. I Love You, Aunt June

I am so happy we came to Houston in April to celebrate Ronnie's Birthday with you. I always loved the stories you and Ronnie would tell me about when you guys were 16. You will always be Ronnie's very best friend. I know you will watch over Adam from above, but we want you to know we will always be there for him. Who ever knew God would need you so soon. You will never be forgotten.

I am so glad & honored that Dave and I were friends. I worked with Dave at 101 KLOL and we quickly became buddies...he was my bro. We went to several concerts together, played music & sang, laughed about any & everything till it hurt, and kicked that little bean bag (hacky sak) around for hours & hours. I was most fond of his gentle spirit and genuine interest in the well-being of others. Although we have not seen each other in awhile, I felt we would always consider each other friends. Dave, I love & miss you...bro! RIP

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Dave and although I have not talked to him in years I listened to him all the time on KTRK and will miss his reports from the sky.

Dave was one of our most favorite customers (State Farm) and always managed to brighten up our day when he would come in to make his monthly payments. He would always take time to sit down to talk to us and tell us what was going on in his life. We got to be really close to him in the last two-three years and his loss felt as though we had lost one of our own family members. I will never forget the story he told us about flying the helicopter to his son's daycare and how after that he was considered to be the "Coolest Dad ever". The look on his face that day showed the joy he had in being a Father, that little boy was his whole life. I know his son will miss him greatly and our hearts really go out to him and all of you at this time. Please know that you all will be in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and strength.

Our hearts are weary at the loss of our dearest friend Dave Garrett. His personality stretched well beyond Channel 13 and Skyeye. His love of music (particularly The Beatles) would lead him to The Continental Club on Thursday nights. It was always a joy to see him sing-along, dance, and have a good conversation. Dave, if you're listening, your spot is saved in our hearts and on the dance floor at Continental. Peace be with you.

Houston is my home, though I now live in Lake Jackson. Dave Garrett did such an excellent job of identifying intersections, that I knew exactly where events were occuring (my dad went to Jeff Davis). Thank you, thank you David Garrett for using your expertise to reconnect me to my home away from home. You will truly be missed. You and Dave Ward...icons.

My boys grew up in Quail Valley from 75 thru 89. I have listened to Dave's voice up in Sky Eye for what seems like forever.It is so unreal that Dave is only 3 years older than my oldest, so I just can't imagine what you must be feeling. All I can say is tht Dave kept us informed about what was going on from above thru Sky Eye and now he will keep watch over you from above, just in a different way. My deepest prayers are with you at this sad time. One day you will meet Dave again but until that day, take care of his son as he would have done and remind him of what a great person his dad was to everyone, that he was a person that many people depended on even without ever knowing him personally. Each day will get easier but not a day will go by that Dave will be right by your side, watching and wating for the day that all will be reunited. God bless your family.

Alton,
I was able to get online and see the news reports about David's death. I am so sorry for your loss as I know you all must have been proud of him. It sounds like he was quite the character.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family during these difficult and hard to understand times.

The Garrett Family and Friends - Nothing can be written or said to ease your grief, but to know what an impact merely Dave's voice had on so many must be, at least, for now, a small source of comfort...even more so the impact of his friendship on those who knew him. I am thankful that my brother was blessed with such a friend as Dave. My prayers are with you all.

I knew you always as my brother's best friend and a loyal one at that. Then one night at Beetle, I realized a father who loved his son as I loved my own. A joyful conversation filled with smiles and picture exchanges of our kids that made me realize the quality of this man. Dave, thank you for being the loving father and best friend that we all knew you to be. We will miss you.
