This memorial website was created in memory of my father , Stephen “Levi” Garrett. He was a great father. He was the best at restoring cars and any kind of mechanical work.  He educated himself continuously on becoming better at his craft and learning how to do home improvements. Always stressed the importance of education and taught us all about the importance of having a good work ethic. He loved finding and working on his horrors. He always had one or was looking and planning for the next. He loved nascar and drag racing.  He was married and had 3 children and 7 grandchildren. My father had an upbeat personality and had a good sense of humor, he loved to laugh and make others laugh. He love so many things like music and singing and dancing around while he worked. He loved animals of all kinds but really loved his dogs.Which we had many most of them were strays or dogs he found at the junk yard. I never seen an animal that didn’t love him as much as he did them. My father was loving and understanding and taught me that in life we are all learning as we go. There is no manual or instruction book on how to maneuver through the good times and tough times. We all do the best we can. He showed me that when I was younger I interpreted lessons and punishments as my dad knowing everything and having all the answers. He told me as an adult ,he didn’t and had so many regrets. He always tried to teach me not to worry about things out of my control because I’m a worrier. I am so glad I got to really know my dad as a person as an adult. He also loved to talk about anything and everything and never met anyone he considered a stranger. He was kind and generous.My father showed me that kindness and compassion goes a lot further in life.He was a good father and husband. He loved his brother and sisters. He also loved his mother. He was so proud of all his family. He never hesitated to talk about his memories with his siblings and all their shenanigans as kids. On September 19, 2022 my father left us and is now with his sister Sandy who hopefully is keeping him out of trouble. Please share any memories you may have. Thank you!
My father is truly missed.
