I remember Coach Garner from my days at Floyd before moving to Atlanta in 1972. He was a good man, and his legacy will endure. My deepest condolences to the Garner family.

Sandy and family, it was truly a joy to know Pat. We pray that you will have peace in knowing that he is resting in the arms of God. Victor and Elizabeth Hamilton-

Coach Garner was one of my favorite teachers during my years at Floyd.  I'm so glad he was able to come to our 40th Reunion in 2013.  He will be missed.

Coach Garner has a precious place in my heart.  He was such a positive influence on me, as well as all students he came into contact with at Floyd Junior High.  I'm so glad I got to see him a few years ago at my mom's church. My prayers are with his family. So glad to know he's with Jesus and not in pain anymore and I'll see him again one day. (he's got everybody in heaven running around the track! Ha, ha!)

Just received a post on Lanier's FB about Coach passing away.  He was always encouraging each one  of us at Floyd!  That smile could make your darkest day just a little brighter.  Prayers for the family being lifted up!  D Jones

So sorry to hear this news. Coach Garner was an awesome man. Prayers to the family. I was a cheerleader at Floyd and remember watching him with the players and what an influence he was.

Coach Garner came to Lee HS in 1961, my sophomore year.  He coached me in JV football with coach Pete Lee.  I always thought a great deal of coach Garner.

God is close to the brokenhearted.  So sorry to hear of Coach Garner's passing.  He was a wonderful, kind, and caring man.  May all the special memories you hold in your heart give you the peace that passes all understanding in the days to come.  May you all draw strength from each other and rejoice that he is in Heaven and you will be with him again one glorious day.

Our condolences to Pat Jr., Angie, Trey, Kristen, David, and the entire Garner family. I (Sam) was in school with Pat at Troy, and made causal contact through the years through sports. We were able to reconnect more closely when our daughter, Meghan, enrolled at ACA and was in class with Kristen. Always enjoyed talking with Pat at athletic events and school functions. He was known not only as being a great educator, but also a good man. Again our condolences to all. Sam and Regina Stringer

He took me and his younger brother Carlton to my first college football game (Auburn vs. Rice) in Auburn in 1965. Pat was a great role model for us kids. Sad to learn of his passing. Sympathies to his lovely family.

Coach Garner was man of character and integrity God used his life to show the love of Christ to so many people. I called football with Pat for 20 years, I never saw him get mad, he taught me so much. He will be missed. Thanks  for the memories.
