Garrett was a man of great character. Everywhere he went, he was known for his work ethic, quick wit, stubbornness, loyalty, and as an abundant source of useless information.  

He was an avid Braves Fan and outdoorsmen. He loved to fish and hunt and enjoyed cooking. 

Above all else, his greatest passion was his family. His love for his wife and kids was truly infectious and became stronger with every passing day.
