Garrett ill never forget the day i met you , you were such an awesome kind heart guy very welcoming and a great listener we had some many conversations and so many laughter's i hope u rest in peace bud and ill miss u but one day we will see each other again ... gone but never forgotten

My condolences to the family. I got to know Garrett very well over the past 10-12 years. He was an awesome guy with a very charismatic personality. He will truly be missed

Mr. & Mrs. Metacarpa, Justin and family, I am shocked to hear this. I have so many great childhood memories playing on that corner of Linden Ct. and Acorn Ave with Garrett and friends. When I worked at the Y, he was one of those guys you could count on seeing every single day hitting the gym. What an amazing life he went on to lead. My prayers are with you.

My family and I send our deepest condolences. He was a great friend from as far back as I can remember. I have so many great memories of basketball,football, billiards, ping pong in the basement... And just growing up together. I am still in shock about the news, but hope he has found a peaceful place to lay until we see each other again.

Garrett had such a beautiful light. He was a very kind, talented person, who had the ability to put a smile on anyones face, and look at the world in a way that few people could. I doubt I'll ever meet someone like him. He will always be in my thoughts. I am glad to have known him as a friend.

So sorry to hear the sad news. He was a close childhood friend. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family....

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Garrett was a kind and loving child who loved sports and hanging out with his buddies. He will always be in our hearts. Cindy and Arch Godbout

Dear Christy, family, friends and loved ones.
As Christy knows I worked with Garrett here at UAlbany; however, also shared many personal conversations about our service backgrounds, school, and fitness (seeking his advice on how to stay in my pants :)) among many other topics.

I truly enjoyed every opportunity I had to speak with Garrett and I am deeply saddened to hear of his loss. Garrett treated me with nothing less than the utmost respect and courtesy (I am a retired service member myself, although suspect he would have regardless) and I really did enjoy our long talks (although honestly, I talked more than he did many times as he was also a great listener).

I know that no words I can offer here will ease much if any of the pain you are all experiencing; however, I wanted to share that I truly did find Garrett to be an incredibly intelligent and caring person and I admired his dedication, enthusiasm and spirithe will be deeply missed!

Wishing you all strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time!
With deepest sympathy,

Joel Davis Director, Student Financial Center and Veteran Services at the University at Albany.

I was so sorry to hear about Garrett. In the short time I knew him, I found him to be a really sweet person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dearest Christy and family, words cannot express how sad I am about your loss! Garrett was so very special in so many ways! He was so accomplished and kind. May Garrett rest in peace. May you all feel peace in loving memories of happier times. With much love and prayers, Judi Horton

Garrett I hope you truly have found peace in a better place. I am sorry brother. I am sorry I wasn't there when I could have been. I am sorry I didn't look harder. You are truly missed bro.
