Gary, Time may help heal, but you, Garrett and your family are far from forgotten. Just wanted to let you know you remain in our prayers. May Garrett's light shine through you and through the individuals and families Garrett's foundation will continue to impact.

Gary and Jessica,
There are just no words to say. All we know how to do is pray.
We love you and are thinking of you.
Love, The Hankes

Gary, you and your family are in our prayers.  We can give thanks that Garrett is at peace to serve as comfort in this unimaginable time of grief.  God bless you my friend.

Gary, you and the whole family are in all of our prayers!

I was privileged to be Garrett's high school Guidance Counselor at Bishop Miege. From the girst meeting when Garrett was a I was impressed. Garrett was intrlligent and insightful- he was sincere and genuine. He was always respectful. Garrett was in my third son's class at Miege. My son has special needs and Garrett was one of the few that was very nice to him. He once told me that my son was one of the people in his class that was truly 'real' - nothing fake about him. That could have described Garrett. I am so sorry for his loss but know there is a bright light in heaven. My derpest sympathies to his family and friends!

Gary - I did not know your son but can imagine the pain anytime a child dies before the parents. I always remembered you as one of the best student leaders ever at Westminster and I am so sad for your loss. Life just doesn't make sense sometimes.

Gary and Family-God bless you all. Garrett will be in our hearts forever and his beautiful smile. We are so blessed to have known him growing up at St, Ann's. Remember, "In the end is our beginning". Love, Peter, Susan, Brooks and Madison (Prairie Village, Kansas)

Gary- Our hearts are heavy for you at the loss of your son. This isn't a pain any parent should have to bear. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Bless you, friend. Rob and Nancy Ash, Prairie Village, KS..

Gary, there are no words known in any language that would give comfort to a parent who has lost a child.  Know that Garrett has not gone.  He has simply gone ahead.  Your journey of grief is a personal one.  It has no statute of limitations and is yours alone to walk.  My wish is that you will find peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Garrett's death.  I can't imagine the grief your entire family must be bearing.  My prayers are with you all.

You are surrounded by a lot of Love and your family is constantly in my prayers.  Garrett was so adorable (that smile) and his sarcasm and sense of humor was hilarious and endearing at the same time... I miss him a lot!

Gary, I just learned of your son's demise.  My prayers are with you.  Having lost two of my daughters I know the pain.  Stay Strong.  God will help you through it.  Best regards.   Byron Thompson

Garrett will be dearly missed by our family.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  May the Lord give you strength in the days ahead. Sincerely, Diane and Lauren Browne

Gary,

Words can't express the sorrow I feel for you and your family.  I remember meeting Garrett at St Ann's 8th Confirmation and he seemed to have such a jovial nature about him. We will keep you and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers.  God Bless

You are being challenged to deal with a tragedy no parents should be asked to cope with.My prayers are with you. Garrett was always a pleasant ,polite and likable young man. My heart is with you all. Sincerely,Paul Horvath  (Lawrence ,Kansas)

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Garret became my best friend after I was introduced to him my sophomore year of high school. He was one of the most caring and genuine people I have ever met in my life. Garret touched so many different people from all walks of life. He had an ability to become anybody's pal. Words can't describe how much I miss him. I send my condolences to Mr. Henson and anyone whose life was touched by Garret. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten.

Garret was a student in my Spanish class. He stood out as a warm and genuine person and his smile was a day brightener. My heartfeltheartfelt sympathies are with his family and friends in the depth of their loss.

Words are inadequate to relieve the sorrow of your loss. Garrett resides in God's glory, free of all our earthly limitations and concerns.  Please know Garrett and your family remain in my prayers.

The McCarthy family sends our condolences.  Having lived across the street in Old Leawood, I recall Garrett and Gary shooting baskets in the driveway quite often, and it has always inspired me as we raise our own kids now.  We are so sorry for your loss.

My condolences go out to the Henson family. During this difficult time, remember to turn to God to help you cope. "He is a secure refuge in times of distress. (Psalms 9:9)

I never met Garret but knowing his father Gary and having a son two years younger than Garret makes me feel for your family.  Our deepest condolences from my wife, my children and me to your family.
