Garrett Richard Robbins

G-Rat

12/09/1990 – 06/ 23/2009

Fun, outgoing and cool, best describe Garrett Robbins. Many hearts are broken and fond memories of him are flooding those who knew him.

Garrett is best known for his outrageous and unpredictable wit. He was just a naturally funny guy. He had slick dance moves and wasn’t afraid to use them. He would challenge a cliff for a dive in the summer or a mountain cliff in the winter, and would always go first. Athletic and full of adventure, he thought his Mazda was a go-cart at times and rode his mountain bike rarely using his brakes. He also enjoyed mission trips to Canada and Skid Row with his youth group in addition to taking part in an after school program for Reach Salt Lake. Having an impact on the lives of at risk kids brought out a more serious side of Garrett, however, it never overshadowed his zeal for fun and laughter. Garrett was just a cool guy. He dressed unique, he would wear a jacket one day and a home-made t-shirt the next. He had no fear and made a big statement by distributing t-shirts he made following an athletic controversy at Hillcrest High school. He danced to his own beat.

Garrett was synonymous with Gavin, his younger brother, who he was very close with, along with his brother, Klint. Garrett made a big profession of faith in Jesus and was later baptized on July 23, 2000. He is now with the Lord who had been preparing a place just for him. He is joining his brother Kolby.

His parents Gary and Jean (Snyder) Robbins, along with his brothers Klint De Marco and Gavin Robbins share much sadness at his passing with his many uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, grandparents and friends.

**I've been in Utah spending time with family. It's hard to know how to go on from here. We all wish we could reverse time and change what happened but we know that is not possible and so we just go on... go on doing laundry, working our jobs, living our lives and loving each other.
