Garrett Meeson Obituary

Meeson, Garrett J. CLIFTON PARK Garrett J. Meeson, 14, entered into eternal life on Tuesday, July 9, 2019. Born in Niskayuna, Garrett was the beloved son of Lance W. Meeson and Laura A. (Merwitz) Meeson. Garrett was a rising sophomore at Shenendehowa High School in Clifton Park where he would play JV Football this season. Garrett was known by all, standing above the crowd not only in physical stature, but by the size of his heart, compassion for others, and the ability to light up the room with his infectious smile and wonderful sense of humor. Garrett especially loved his brother, Lance Myles Meeson, whom he admired and looked up to every minute of every day. Their relationship was truly special to behold. Garrett had an amazing fashion sense and loved wearing clothes that reflected his personality, often changing the color of his hair to make a statement. We called him "G Money" as he was a superstar in the making. He also enjoyed working out, pushing himself while encouraging others to push themselves to reach new heights. He also loved listening to music from Billie Eilish and XXXTentacion. Garrett was an avid fan of Doctor Who, Shark Tank, Mythbusters, and Forged in Fire. He would often listen to podcasts on business and science. He also loved watching Will Ferrell movies, and the Marvel Comics series. Garrett was also probably the world's greatest player of Clue, consistently outsmarting his family. Beloved son of Lance and Laura; devoted brother of Lance Myles Meeson; adored grandson of Robert (Sheila) Meeson, the late Carla Nesbitt and the late Madlyn Reid; cherished great-grandson of Eleanor Meeson (late, Robert); loving nephew of Melanie Meeson (Scott Peconi), Robert Meeson III, Robert LaCross (Ana), Blair Meeson, David Merwitz and the late Victoria Nesbitt; coolest cousin of Alexandra Rinehimer, Bobby LaCross, Mikayla LaCross, Christopher Merwitz and Tyler Merwitz. Garrett's family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Rodney Gwiazdowski for his courage and valor in our time of need, as well as the support of our entire community for all the love they have bestowed upon our family. Every thought, every prayer, makes a difference. Relatives and friends are invited to St. Edward's Church, 569 Clifton Park Center Rd., Clifton Park, on Monday, July 15, from 4 to 8 p.m. and on Tuesday, July 16, where at 10 a.m. the Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated.

To the family of Garrett Meeson, Mother Laura, Father Lance and Brother, Lance. My most sincere condolences. May Garrett R.I.P.

SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And he came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
