Christopher R Garrett

Christopher R. Garrett, 55, of Circleville, passed away Wednesday, March 30, 2016 at The James Cancer Hospital in Columbus. He was born December 30, 1960 in Columbus, the son of Donald L. and Carol Ann (Jinks) Garrett. Chris was preceded in death by his very good friend, Grace Richards.

Chris was quiet, laid back, a homebody and didn’t like drama. He enjoyed fishing, hiking, cooking on the grill and going to Myrtle Beach with Helen and his parents. He liked doing autobody work and was an excellent woodworker. Of all the things Chris liked to do, he especially loved working on the Richards Family Farm and considered it his “life”.

Chris will be greatly missed by those he leaves behind: his parents; his wife, Helen (Reymer) Garrett; children, Devan (Sammy) Stewart, Angel Garrett, Kayla (David McClarren) Garrett, Linsey (John) Bode; step-children, Katie (JJ Kiser) Robison, Joey Robison, Kelly Frazier, April (Steven) Downard and Cooper (Lynn) Mahoney; 23 grandkids; brother, Terry (Cheryl) Garrett; sister, Michele Spillane; several nieces and nephews; special friends whom he considered his “adopted” family, Bill Richards; Bruce “Rich” (Betsy) Richards and Elmon (Connie) Richards; and his good friends and co-workers, Yuri Baikov, Lee Bowser, Nancy McCain and Miedema Dairy.

A Memorial Service will be held at 3:00 PM on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at Defenbaugh-Wise-Schoedinger Funeral Home with Pastor Jeri-Lynne Bouterse officiating. Friends may call from 2:00 PM until the time of service on Saturday at the funeral home.
