Richard Thomas Garrett Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Richard Thomas Garrett in Reserve, Louisiana, born in Beaumont, Texas, who passed away on April 17, 2026, at the age of 80, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As Richard departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Richard may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Richard leaves behind.

He is survived by: his wife Paula Garrett; his children, Scott Garrett of New Orleans and Sarah Garrett Heinzen of Maple Valley, Washington; and his siblings, Michael Garrett of Vidor, Texas and Susan Barlow of Orange, Texas..

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
