Garrett attended Millersville University where he joined the Acacia Fraternity.  He loved adventure of all kinds could be found trekking and hiking the local great outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and even made a trip to Lake Ontario. Garrett thoroughly enjoyed snowboarding, especially with his cousin Nathaniel. An intelligent and bright young man, Garrett took pleasure in war hammer games and loved the challenge and skill it required. He took part in the barn chores with his Mom and Dad and enjoyed pitching in once he got to the barn.
