Garrett Leon McConnell

I knew Garrett when I was 19. We met through a call center where we worked together. He was an awesome person with an amazing soul. Anyone who knew anything could feel it. I am 33 now and recently heard of Garrett's passing and it was as shocking as it was painful. I have been a radiation therapist for 7 years treating cancer and it never makes it any easier when you hear anyone let alone a great person and friend has died from it. RIP brave Garrett. We all Love you.

Es mi deseo transmitir un pensamiento de reconfortante sacado de la Sagradas Escrituras,en su propio ejemplar Biblico en el libro de Juan capitulo 5 versiculo 28 y 29 escribe:No se maravillen de esto porque viene la hora en que todos los que estan en las tumbas conmemorativas saldran¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Cuando hay sentimientos de dolor y pena por un ser querido que a muerto son ciertas las palabras del señor Jesucristo cuando dice:en Juan 17 versiculo 3 escribe:Esto significa vida eterna el que adquieran conocimiento de Ti y de tu hijo Jesucristo,efectivamente de cuanto valor es el conocer la esperanza que Dios da en su palabra santa,la Biblia.

There are far too many memories of and with Garrett t only post one.  Never has an individual impacted my life so deeply and in such a short period of time.  You were my best friend, my Ace and my brother.  I will always remember and cherish ALL of the amazing, life changing times we experienced together.  I know that I will see you again....until that day may God continue to comfort and strenghten your family and friends.  Gone, but never forgotten...Love you bro!

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

You were always very special, from the time you learned to walk
I was so excited when you began to talk
I have so many memories, I was always making plans
Right before my very eyes, YOU became a man! 

I'll forever be so thankful to have a son like you
I remember how you gave your all in everything that you do
Some day I'll come to join you, when my work down here is done
I promise you I'll be there,
My Hero, My Son

We'll stroll beside the river
We'll see the streets of Gold
We'll talk about the good times
We had in days of old
I know in that fair city
A Crown of Life you won
You'll be forever with me
My Hero, My Son
