He also tried his skills in various construction trades. Eventually starting Morrison Construction for a few years.
In 2018 he found his place at Berry Global where he quickly rose through the ranks of management as Assistant Group Lead. He very much loved his job and the people he worked with, and was respected and well-liked by his peers.
He met and fell in love with Shelby O’Brien. They had made a life together with their two dogs, Mossy and Hero.
Garrett had an infectious smile and a quirky sense of humor that was a joy to be around.

Morrison, Colorado, his stepsister Layla Wilson, Overland Park, his partner Shelby O’Brien, Lawrence, his maternal grandparents Wayne and Dorothy Wallace, Chanute; and many aunts, uncles & cousins.
