RIP Garret. Can’t imagine the struggles he must have been going through.

So sad. I used to chat with at him at Chris’ Po Boys, and we always talked UL baseball. He was a really nice guy. Life can be cruel sometimes.

Too many people are being lost at a young age.

Knew him from folks at Chris's..

My knowing Garrett was more from his years as an umpire in the Lafayette Association. He umpired a ton of games at the Tigue and was a Sun Belt umpire for several years as well.

Garrett coached me in fall ball years ago!
Great guy and will be missed!

I saw Garret 4 weeks ago at Chris’s and noticed his health was in decline but had no idea of his illness. Can you disclose cause of death? 🙏🙏🙏

If the info I have is correct he did not die due to illness.

Understood. I pray he’s at peace now.

I can't believe it. He taught me how to pitch when I was 8 years old. I will never forget him. Rest in Peace.

Had several classes at UL with Garrett. I still remember talking to him after he got drafted about his plans for minor league ball. Very sad news, prayers for him and the family. RIP Garrett
