Garrett Brannan Rider-Webb

Monday morning everyone wakes up to the phone ringing. My aunt Missy was on the phone she tells my grandfather that there was a crash up by Vernon and that there was a fatality and that Garrett was driving up that way. My grandfather tells her that he will try to find out what he can and call her back. He calls everyone we know and we cant find anything out about the crash and than the phone rings again and its my aunt again and she says something that I can never forget "It was Garrett! He is died."

Not to long ago Garrett had found out he had cancer. Yeah I know the big C word. It was hard on everyone to find out, but we knew that he could make it through. He is a fighter! Garrett had cut all his hair off cause he said he didn't want it to fall out and look silly! That's Garrett for you. He went to Mesa all the time for chemotherapy. He is a country boy so he wasn't a fan of being in the city all the time. Any chance he got he would come back to Eagar. My uncle Tray took him hunting, camping and fishing any chance they got. He was a good father to Garrett!

On December 6, 2010 Garrett B. Webb was headed up to Mesa to go to his last chemotherapy and when he reached the Vernon turn of another car came into his lane and hit Garrett head on. The impact speed was 140 mph (70 mph by each vehicle). Garrett died instantly. It took them two hours to get Garrett out of his vehicle using the jaws of life.



Garrett wasn't a golden child but who is. He knew how to make a joke out of everything. Even death! He told his dad that if he didn't beat cancer that he wanted to be buried naked laying face down in his coffin. No worries he wasn't buried like that. He had on his wrangler shirt and jeans. His cowboy boots and his cowboy hat on his chest. He looked really good! I think everyone has wished they would of spent more time with Garrett before he was taken from us.



Garrett,
I'm so proud of you! You kicked cancers ass! You were taken from our lives to soon. We had a lot of laughs together and a lot of fights at Jessie's but you always knew how to make a joke of it and make me laugh. I remember that day at Jessie's you kicked me in the leg so I kicked you back and you said "Oh my gosh Sarah! Now I'm going to have leg cancer!". I'm going to miss you great sense of humor! I love you and I miss you!
