Walter Wiatt Garwick

Wiatt we will miss you a whole bunch. When I walk by your locker i feel sad but i know you are in a better place now! FWA misses you!

LOVE,

LINDY

As my senior year at Faith West is now coming to a close it is becoming more and more obvious what a strong impact Wiatt had on all of our live. While we were pulling off our senior prank, wiatt's memory was heavy on everyone's mind. He would have loved being a part of that. That was for you Wiatt.

i am so sorry to hear about wiatt's death.....i didn't know him that well but i did know him....but we will all miss him alot!

rest in peaace & let god be with him and his family

The Friday night after Wiatt's funeral as I (Nancy) lay at the altar of our church during worship, my heart heavy for your family, the Lord blessed me with a vision that was absolutely beautiful. As soon as Wiatt departed this earth he immediately was in the arms of Jesus. I saw Wiatt with his arms wrapped tightly around Jesus and Jesus arms wrapped tightly around Wiatt. Both Wiatt and Jesus were smiling. They were embracing for quite a while and then I saw Wiatt walking arm-in-arm with Jesus. I sensed Wiatt’s excitement in anticipation of exploring Heaven. So now when I think about Wiatt and my heart begins to hurt, I immediately start thinking about Wiatt and Jesus embracing, and Jesus and Wiatt walking arm-in-arm and immediately it brings peace and a smile.



We love you so much. You and your family are in our daily prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Wiatt. I go to Faith West JH and my brother Hunter Davis was good friends with Wiatt, and he was in real pain when we found out. So again i am sorry and ya'll will be in my prayers.

Dearest Guy and Alison,

Guy, I doubt that you will remember me, but I worked with your Dad at Riner Exploration ages ago, and remember you coming up to our office. I believe all the girls in the office teased you a little, but you were such a nice guy. I didn't know your son, but he looks like you, and from what I read about him, you both have alot to be proud of. It is such a horrible feeling to lose your son, I know, I lost mine 3 years ago and its leaves such a hole in your heart. I just want you to know I'm thinking about you and hope that the pain will go away when your ready. My heart goes out to you and your whole family! Take care and God Bless.

Guy-I am so sad to hear about Wiatt. He looks just like you and he was lucky enough to get those Garwick sport genes. I hope the family will take the time needed to grieve. Hope to see you soon.

Tom and Anne Servos

Guy-This is Tom Servos. I am so sad for you and your family. I only wish I would of known your son, he looks just like you and it sounds like he got the Garwick sports genes. Hope you and your family will find peace in your heart. Hope to see you soon. Tom and Anne Servos

Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousands winds that blow
I am a diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft starshine at night
Do not stand by my grave and cry
I am not there...I did not die.

Me and wiatt weren't always best of friends.I remember my senior year at high school when we went toe to toe in the weight room.Neither of us backed down. Later on that day Wiatt came up to me and apologized and I said it was my fault and don't worry about it.Thats the type of person that Wiatt was, he stuck to his instincts but also he had a heart of gold. We were very good friends after that day.

Dear Guy and Allison,



My heart was saddened when I received the news from a fellow landman about Wiatt. Sueanne and I are praying that God will wrap his loving arms around your family and comfort you.

Sharon and I were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your son. We will keep your family in our prayers. It is our profound prayer that God comfort you during this time.

Dear Mr. and Mrs.Garwick

I attended school with Wiatt for only a short time. He will missed so much by me and other students at FWA, my love and prayers are with you.

A traveler ventured forth one day upon a long and winding road with faith and trust to lead the way, with strength and will to bear his load. And at a slow but steady pace, in cold of storm,in warmth of sun, he journeyed on from place to place and gained some value from each one. Until at last one quiet night, He climbed a hill's soft-rounding crest and saw afar a single light that seemed to promise peace and rest. And following its glow, he came upon the house in which it shone. A voice inside called out his name and told him he was truely home. Now all of us must travel, too-- Like his, our paths wind slowly on, and surely when the course is through, a welcome comfort waits beyond. May we believe that sweet content is earned by all those miles passed and never doubt each traveler's meant to reach a loving home at last. Although My eyes never saw your son, my son came home from school with such sadness. It just broght back my own personal feelings. I do understand the blessing that Wiatt was to everyone, esp. you. I know that the Lord will be your rock no matter what the day brings. Your Sister in Christ, Denise.

Guy, Allison and Jessica -

My prayers are with you and your entire family. Wiatt was certainly a special young man.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Garwick,

Wiatt was a wonderful person and I always made a point to talk to him during first period when he was an office aide. You should be proud of him, he touched many lives here at Faith West. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

One of the fourth grade classes at Faith West Academy had the blessing of having Wiatt as one of our athletes to pray for and encourage. He was a blessing to us. He was even able to share with the class a specific prayer request he had. We thank God for having the opportunity to minister to him. Our prayers are with you, Mr. and Mrs. Garwick, and Jessica.

I was not best friends with Wiatt, but we both shared the same love of football. The football field is where i spent most of the time with him. He was a natural leader on the field, and knew how to make our team come together. During the games he would get so excited that he would start yelling words that no one could understand. It was almost like he was speaking a different language. My best memory of Wiatt is after our playoff game agianst Lubbock Christian. Wiatt comes off to be a pretty rough guy, but after we lost I was so surprised to see him bawling. On our way back to the locker room he told me and some other guys how much we meant to him. He wasn't crying cause we lost, he was crying cause he felt that the bond our team had was broken since the season was over. He was the best example of a team player i knew. I know his life was not all about football, but this is how i remember him. His family and friends our in my prayers.

Wiatt, what a kind and tenderhearted person you are! Your presence at our school is deeply missed. It's easy to picture you in heaven rejoicing with the angels :)

Guy,Allison,and Jessica

Your son,Wiatt, has such a beautiful heart and it was evident to all! Our families thoughts and prayers are with you as you journey on. Hallelujah for Wiatt is with our Heavenly Father starting his eternal life!

Guy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I will always remember the hunt we shared when Wiatt shot his first goose!



God Bless,

Let God take you in His arms and cover you with His love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. He knows the depth of your grief and only He can give you peace. You have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Guy, Alison, Jessica

my heart and prayers are with you today. Marisa Means.

Dear Guy and Alison- I was sorry to hear of the loss you have incurred. 'Tho I couldn't get out to Houston, my heart is with you. Ask my father for a hug from me. I have experienced this first hand and you have to remember there was nothing you could have done differently. This was not your fault. We do know he is in a better place now.

Please do not hesitate to call. My father Matt can release my contact info. Hang in there!

When peace like a river attendeth my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well with my soul.



And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll

The Lord shall descend and the trump shall resound

Even so, it is well with my soul!



Our deepest and most sincere condolences.



Craig, Janet, Nathan, Tiffany and Christian

Dear Guy, Alison and Jessica,

Lydia called yesterday. I am so sorry to hear about your beloved son and brother Wiatt. My thoughts and prayers are with you. The last time I saw Wiatt was at Eileen's graduation party.

Wiatt, even though we didnt talk too much anymore, you were an awesome friend. i remember the good times we shared. and now i know you're at a better place. my prayers go out to you, your family and friends.

Dear Guy,Alison,& Jessica



Wiatt was a very nice guy and had some really good qualities. I liked talking to him and finding out all the details of his life. I'll always remember that handsome face from the first time I met him. I couldn't wait to get to know him more. He was fun, outgoing and liked to ware green...alot, but it was cool! I am truly sorry for your amazing loss. My family and I will always be here for you whenever you need someone and keep you in our prayers. I will greatly miss him. We love you!

Wiatt, i love you and i know youre in God's arms.



...you were always there to begin with.



Garwick family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

When I heard the news I was both bewildered and at awe. These emotions soon turned to sadness and regret for not having the honor of knowing your son more than I did. My son Nick always spoke highly of Wiatt and when I was able to eventually meet him I was extremely impressed with his character and maturity.



May God bless you in your time of sorrow and fill you with the certainty that He brought Wiatt home for a reason, one we may not know until we are in heaven with him.



If there is anything I or my family can do please do not hesitate to call upon us.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Garwick



I am very sorry for your loss wiatt was an amazing guy who made everyone feel like they were special. I know there were many times he made me feel that way. You and your family are in my prayers daily . Together in Christ

Sister Alison, Brother Guy and Jessica

Wiatt was alot of fun when he was around. And his light can be seen from so far away because he achieved so much in such a short lifetime. He will be missed by people all over because he touched so many with his intellegence and style.

I am so sorry for the loss of this young man. My prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.

Dear Guy, Allison and Jessica,



We are very sorry for the loss of Wiatt. I take comfort in knowing that God has such a beautiful new angle that has entered his kingdom.



I pray daily that God will give your family the wisdom, patience and guidance to eventually accept this termendous change in your life.



Kim and Andy

We are thinking and praying for your family. We know Wiatt is in a better place.

I cut the newspaper clippings about Wiatt when he was away at Hargrave, and waited with the seniors for his return. His intelligence and challenges were a constant demand for us teachers to stay on our toes. I will miss him.

Dear Guy,



I am so sorry to read about your son's passing, but gladdened to see that he had such a rich life. May God sustain you in this time of great sorrow.
