My precious Garrett, the days are achingly long and the nights unbearabe without you here.  I miss you so very much and I love you more than this life.  You were my precious surprise and you have been taken much too soon.  There is not a moment that passes or a step that I take that my heart does not bleed tears of pain.  I miss you my baby boy.   Mum loves you.

Garret was a good friend of mine, we shared almost all our classes together and jokes and laughs. After we graduated, I would always see his cheery face in Weis and have a good chat. He was a genuine guy who will be missed dearly❤️ Prayers to the family!

Garrett, I don’t believe that you realized how much you were loved and impacted so many people with the fondest memories.   You were the reason that I stayed as long as I did at Weis.  Your personality was a joy and engaging.    Jackie , and family, my heart aches for all of you.  Knowing Garrett, he would want nothing more than for you to find happiness through his memories. 

September 11, 2021

Garrett, even though I’m the family dog I can still type.  Dad showed me how to get on this website and I want to make a post.  You are the best friend that a guy like me could ever have.  You fed me, played with me and took me on long walks.  Sometimes we would sit together for great lengths of time, and I would listen to what was on your mind.  Sorry, I could not offer any Sage like advice because I’m quite young myself, but I’m a good listener.
I forever, will miss our precious time together.  I want you to take care of yourself and find that precious inner peace you longed for.  Gotta go, it’s lunch TIME!
Love,

Gartner family – I am so saddened to hear of your terrible loss.  What a beautiful soul!  I remember Garrett and his sweet smile that brightened all our days at Kissel Hill.  My prayers are with you.

September 11, 2021

Garrett, you have blessed more lives than you can imagine.  Your wit and humor will never be forgotten.  Your steadfastness for right and wrong has paved the way for others to follow.  Your compassion and patience for others, that needed a helping hand, will surely be missed. 
I consider you as my best friend, someone I could truly count on.  We’ve had many heart to heart conversations with insights for both Father and Son.  I will miss those the most.
I know you will be blessed and find the inner peace you always longed for.  I have been a proud and blessed Father to have you as my son.

To all of the Gartner family. I don’t know how to express our sorrow and the deep void that is left. Jackie, Joe, Jolene, Gillian. He was a man of conviction and passion. That is a light taken from this world. We love you all very much. He will be so missed. The world dimmed in honor of him. He was and still is an honorable and wonderful man. We love you all.

I am so saddened to hear of Garrett’s passing.  My heart goes out to you.  I remember him as a little tyke bouncing through the halls of Kissel Hill. It has been a pleasure seeing him at Weis all these years…. he always had a friendly hello and a short conversation to keep me up to date on his sisters. 
Joe, Jackie, Jolene and Gillian, I am praying for you.

Dude, I have no words. You were always such a ray of wonderful in this world. I remember going out on breaks at work, you’d come out after me just to talk and ask for advice. You were always after wisdom for peace and happiness, and I most enjoyed our in depth conversations about such. You are so very missed man, we will all carry you in our hearts forever. Love you Brother.

to the gartner family,
Saddened to hear about Garrett’s passing.  I hadn’t seen him since the early 2000s so he was likely a wee lil tike back then.  One fond memory was of all of the budding & bubbling life of the gartner grandchildren, including Garrett, as they searched for easter eggs in the their grandmother’s yard. It was beautiful to witness and to be part of the fun. Thank you!  May my cousin rest in peace and in power.  Keeping you all in my thoughts and well wishes.

Dear Garrett,
       You are sorely missed, my friend. We are all still trying to wrap our heads around your passing and absence. You deserved so much more time here than you were given, but God had much bigger plans for you. And despite my being angry and deeply saddened that you are no longer with us, in Him I will continue to follow, love and entrust. 
Thank you for being so accepting of me as a person, and for welcoming me into your heart and home as an eventual brother-in-law-like figure over the years. I truly miss our talks already, and wish that I had set aside time for more of them. Thank you for sharing your passions with me, e.g. art, music, movies, gaming, building etc, and for taking an interst in mine. It honestly made me proud that you were stoked about my journey in the arts.
You were undoubtedly the highlight of our trips out to your parents place, as you were never without a great sense of humor and an ever willingness to make everyone laugh and smile. Our son Daylin will continously be reminded of who you were, and just how cool Uncle Garrett was. You rocked, bud, and little man sure is going to know it, believe me on that.
With much love and respect, and until we cross paths again…
– George H. McGinnis

To my precious and beloved son, you are loved beyond this life!  I miss you so deeply and my life will forever wear a gapping hole with your loss. You are the best friend anyone could have let alone your old mother.  We stood together, shared so many wonderful times and supported each other in the struggles life handed us.  I love you my son, my precious Garrett.  I will take not one step within this life without your presence in my heart.
