Prayers to Garth’s family for their loss. Garth will always be remembered for the gentleman he was and for all that he did for others. What a shock for the loss.
Larry and Marcia says
We so fondly remember our dear nephew, Garth. We miss the days when our families were intact and we had happy times spent together. He grew up to be such a talented cook and the last memory we have of him is when he brought over a large kettle of lobster bisque for his Grandmother Cleo’s family at the time of her passing.
Our Christian faith taught us that he is now with his beloved Mother and other relatives who have gone before us.
Rest in peace, darling Garth.

Stacy Klein says
Garth was like a big brother to me. He taught me how to breath fire like Gene Simmons from Kiss, hit a baseball like Harman Killebrew, shoot an arrow like Ted Nugent and to say “yes” if someone asked you to try something that seemed sort of dangerous but since he did it first without injury you liked your chances. He was a wonderful big brother to many. Such a kind and adventurous soul. God bless.
Betty O'Brien says
