About the Foundation
A Life Well Lived.
A Legacy That Endures.
The G81 Garrett Foundation was built on love — for Garrett, for family, and for the community he touched.
About Garrett
Who He Was
Garrett was the kind of person who worked hard , encouraged and cared about others. Whether it was a stranger, a friend, or his family through his smile — Garrett would help you feel loved and supported . Even if it was only a few dollars spent on a taco from Del Taco he showed up to help others always!
He loved deeply, laughed loudly, and lived with a compassion that left a mark on everyone he met. His life was not defined by his struggles, but by the way he cared for others through his own.
Our Mission

Through community outreach, education, scholarships, and events, we strive to make a lasting difference while carrying forward Garrett's legacy of kindness, generosity, and love.
