Aaron Dakota Garrett
Jathan's brother Aaron passed away saturday July 24th 2010. It is such a terrible loss! We miss him so much and still can't believe it. I feel like it is a bad dream. He was so young. Only 28 years old. He was so talented and had so much potential. He was so funny, amazingly funny! He had the most beautiful smile and a heart of gold. He would truly give you anything you needed and was always so helpful.
He loved his little boy so much and Jaden loved his daddy. My heart just aches for Jaden. He is going to have a rough road ahead. I pray with all my heart for him. Pray that he knows how much his daddy loved him. Pray that he can cope and understand and know his daddy is with Heavenly Father and Jesus. Pray that one day he can understand that he will see his daddy again.

He was so handsome. This is a beautiful photo of he and Jaden.
Oh how I love this little man.
I Love this photo. Aaron lived in St. Thomas with Jaden a few years ago. All these pictures are from that time.
These are all photos that Jaden will absolutely treasure.The family is doing as good as can be expected. It is so hard. Hearts are aching and broken, but there have been some beautiful blessings given and we are so thankful for the priesthood and the gospel. With out that I think this would be unbearable.
Thank all of you so much for your prayers and thoughts. It truly means so much! We love you all!

I heard the sad news yesterday. The last time I saw Aaron was at Gold's Gym, right when he came back from St. Thomas. I had just had Holland and he told me about his adventures with his little boy. He gave me a big hug and made me feel so good about myself, full of compliments. I am sorry for his loss and hope your family and especially his little boy are comforted at this time.
I'll always remember how sweet Aaron was. Even though he was pretty funny too, I'll always remember his gentle side.
I can't stop thinking about you guys. I'm so sorry. This is so tragic, Aaron was such a dynamic person, my heart aches for you all.
Love you. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
My heart aches for that little boy. I hope the best comes out for him. And I hope you continue to be blessed with peace. I know you must be feeling all sorts of emotions. I'm sure Aaron knows how much you all loved him, even if you got frustrated with him sometimes. You were always good to him and so loving with his boy. I am sure he appreciates that. And I'm sure he is thankful that Jaden has you guys to be his support through this trial.
so sad! you guys are all in my prayers:)
It still does not seem real - Me and Reno are so so sad!! We loved Aaron. We are praying for you guys and think about you everyday!
It wasn't until last summer in Chicago that I really got to know Aaron. He was the most genuine person and always thinking of others...a true GEM. Our prayers go out to your family and to little Jaden.
Beautiful post! Those pictures capture aaron so well. I literally can not think of a time in my life when I saw aaron and he did not have a smile on his face. And your right his smile was so pure and genuine. Just a happy spirit! He will be missed. Ill be praying for the Garrett family.
Aaron.... the best word to describe him is ORIGINAL. And he loved to be one of a kind. By far the funniest person I ever knew. So many fun memories. Hopefully Jaden gets his Dad's sense of humor.
So sad.
I love the Garretts
Aaron will be missed
At least he is happy where he is.
That can give some peace.
Awesome post
I love you and Jathan
So sorry for the sad news. I hope the family will be comforted and given strength during this accute time and during the hard times ahead. My heart especially aches for his little boy, and for Jathan... By the pictures, there is no question of the love Aaron had for his sweet little boy...

Hi Jathan & Merm... We were going to call today to send our love, but realized we don't have your current number. So we thought we'd stop by your blog and we were so happy to find such a loving tribute to Aaron. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family, and we find peace in knowing that you are both so strong in the Gospel and that you can find solace in its teachings. Aaron was so blessed to have such a loving and supportive family and you were blessed to have him in your lives. May you find joy and comfort in knowing you will see him again someday and in watching his beautiful son grow. We love you very much. Love, Chris & Channy
We are so sorry for your loss!! Aaron was such an amazing person! We love you guys, and you are in our prayers!
Marianne and Jathan,
I just wanted to tell you that the service for Aaron was incredible. I think everyone who was there could feel how thick the spirit was and there is no doubt in my mind that Aaron was there smiling as he watched each of you take your part in his service. Jathan did an incredible job on building one of the neatest caskets I have ever seen. I dont think there is anything that could have been different that would have made the day better. I loved that the Navajo culture was included in the whole service and I think it made it that much more special. I have never been to a funeral where I felt that much good energy. It was a very sad day for everyone but the spirit was strong and the service was perfect. All of our friends were very honored to participate. Aaron had such a strong and fun personality that we all loved. Our crew will never be the same without him. I hope you and the whole Garrett family can move forward from this event. With Love, Tig
Merm-I am so sorry for your loss. He looks like he was an amazing person! Please let Jathan know how sorry we are for him. We love you guys :)
I am a friend of Meagan and Jathan. I went the funeral and it was truly beautiful. I always heard a lot of good things about Aaron before he passed and as well as at his funeral. The Garrett family is truly a special and amazing family. The Spirit was so strong. Your family is in my prayers.
WE ARE SO SORRY FOR YOU LOSS! HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING OK!
