On July 11, 2018, our world collapsed as we lost our beautiful and loving son, brother and best friend, Garrett at the age of twenty-two. He was an incredible young man whose positive attitude, sense of humor, and compassion for others left an impact on everyone who knew him. While Garrett is not here to fulfill his destiny we know that he would be happy and proud to help provide other students with the opportunities that he had earned. 


None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.
— Christopher Walken, from Garrett's Favorite Quotes
