Obituary
Age 55, passed away on Tuesday June 15, 2021. Pat was born on March 18, 1966, in Battle Creek, the son of Lester and Bernice (Robbins) Garrett. Pat dedicated his life to educate current and future physicians about Marfan’s Syndrome with Dr. Mark Loehrke, a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue, a disease which Pat had been diagnosed with over 24 years ago. He loved visiting the Manistee River up north. He and Sandy enjoyed mushrooming near Mesick. He had a strong love for animals, especially his cat, Goober. Pat is survived by his long-time companion of 28 years, Sandra Terry; his siblings, Joe Garrett, Marilyn (David) Myra, Mike (Sheila) Garrett; three nephews, Chad, Brian and Daniel; and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; an infant brother, Gary; and a brother, David.
So so sorry, for Your loss. It’s hard to reset yourself when you have been with someone for such a long time! Pat will be missed and remember you have friends to help you through this difficult time. Love Shar
Pat and Sandy, 25+yrs.together that’s all Jackie and I knew you all by. Pat was such a warrior, survivor. I remember that sad day, but somehow he survived, what strength, an inspiration to all. And Sandy to stand by that man and take such good care of him all these years shows your strength and how big your golden heart is. I love you and Pat and will always remember and be inspired by him. I love you
I was so sorry to read about the passing of Patrick, Sandy. My thoughts are with you. Jayne Nash Weaver
The world has lost a wonderful man, and Heaven has gained a loving spirit. Sandi, Jay and I are very sorry for the loss of your forever partner, Patrick, and pray and will continue to pray, that the Holy Spirit comforts you beyond all measure…in the manner which only He can. May you feel the presence of our Lord, wrapping His loving arms around you as you grieve this most significant loss. We love you Sandi.
I hung out with Pat when we were kids. I will miss him even though We haven’t seen each other for at least 20 years. Prayers to the family.
Take care buddy RIP Patrick my friend
