Deceased are his paternal grandparents, Kenneth and Virginia Coffman, and his maternal grandfather, Henry Grubbs.
Friends will be received from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday in Greenlee Funeral Home, 42 Bank Street, Fredericktown, where services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, December 16, with Pastor John Thomas officiating. Interment will be private.

While Garrett and I were not close it was hard not to notice the impact that he made among my friends. I will always remember his great smile and positive attitude and his fun loving demeanor in our band days. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his loved ones.

Jeff and I adored Garrett. He was one of the most loving, caring young men I knew. He was such a good friend to Sara and his friendship and love were so genuine. Still hard to accept this. All of our love and prayers to the family! Our hearts are with you. We are under the weather, we both have strep, so cannot make it to see you, but please know our prayers are with you.
