Janelle confessed feeling numb throughout the day, while Meri described the situation as simply heartbreaking.

Tim, Kody’s brother-in-law, led the service wearing a Hawaiian shirt, nodding to Garrison’s dream business “Bob’s Floral.”
The unexpected outfit brought much-needed laughter to the grieving family, perfectly capturing Garrison’s playful spirit that always found humor in life’s moments.
Barefoot Connections
In a touching departure from tradition, Tim asked everyone to remove their shoes and stand barefoot on the grass.

“Garrison would have it with your bare feet on the soil,” Kody explained, highlighting how this unconventional funeral perfectly matched his son’s personality.
The earth beneath their feet symbolized their grounding connection during overwhelming grief.
