Garrett Flores Obituary
Garrett (Fairleigh) Flores, 36, left his earthly body at Newton Medical Center on September 26th, 2024. He was born to Tama Lea Fairleigh and Glenn Dale "Buster" Fairleigh on November 17th, 1987 in Wichita, KS.
Garrett, a graduate of Wichita High School East and Wichita Technical Institute, was a proud member and advocate of the LGBTQ+ community and a champion for all human rights. Garrett was a lover of music, stand-up comedy specials, and was always excited to share his interests with friends; new and old. His passion for laughing and sharing stories was contagious. Garrett could be found behind the register for several years at Buster's Burger Joint, working alongside his dad, before pursuing his Medical Assistant degree. He is survived by his mother and father, Tama and Buster Fairleigh (Wichita, KS), Grandparents Roger and Bonita Graham (Wichita, KS), husband Robert Flores (Newton, KS), brothers Graham Fairleigh (Overland Park, KS) and Gage Fairleigh (Wichita, KS), in-laws Linda and Ines Flores (Newton, KS) and a multitude of aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and friends.
