We all believe that he's with God. He was a spiritual person. He saw the beauty of life, and I have no doubt in my mind that he knew God in only a way that he could.

Garth was smart enough that he could have done just about anything. He was book savvy, and the things he knew, he knew well. He spoke with confidence.

We talked a lot about spiritual things. He would always say something that would make me think, and I thank God for that.

He always liked to have a good time. It could be a serious time and you could always count on him to go have a beer and chew the fat. If Garth was around, you'd either be smiling or laughing.
