Garrett Lynn McDaniel, 21, was called home to our Lord's House on July 11, 2018.  He was born on August 19, 1996 at Rosewood Hospital in Houston, Texas, to Jeffrey and Roxie McDaniel.  He was the apple of his parents' eyes and best friend to his brother, Gramm Wilson McDaniel (23 years old).  Garrett was baptized and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior on August 21, 2016.

Garrett was known by his friends and family as extremely bright and an engaging conversationalist.  He was a free-spirited and a deep thinker.  Quantum Physics, String Theory, Roman Military Strategy were just a few of his subjects of light reading.  He LOVED being around people, talking politics and random trivial facts.  Garrett was enamored with and studied words and was known for his unique ability to make humorous puns.
