I still cannot believe you are no longer here with us physically but I know you will always be here. I see you in our boys. The way they smile, smirk and have that carefree spirit about them. I'm forever grateful to you.

I wish we had more time together and you got to meet your grandson, but you were always on the move, traveling, and exploring. We could never tie you down. I now understand that you needed to be free, and now you finally can be. Your love, memories, and children will carry on your legacy and you will never be forgotten. I love you Alan RIP

To Alan Garnet’s Friends & Family,

I just heard today about the passing of Alan through my friend Rebekah. We all went to CKSS high school together. Alan & I dated back in public school we were young but he was always a gentleman and the class clown. He will be missed by many. So sorry for your loss.

"Mathew, be yourself. Caring, charming... You were raised with manners." This was the last thing Alan said to me. At least now I know why you stopped responding to my texts... Rest easy young wolf!

Alan was a character. He was the apple of many eyes. We didn't see our brother often but when we did he left our families with fond memories. One memory was a trip to BC. It was Canada day long weekend. We were heading to the island for a vacation. On our way we were picking my brother up. It was late. He wouldn't let be boom the last room in Vancouver. He said it was to much money and he wouldn't allow me to spend it. So we spent the night sleeping in the park. He went home to bed. It was an experience :)

Trevor and I have been wondering why you hadn't been in contact. I am very glad you were our friend Alan. I'm so sorry I didn't know you were gone. I would have liked to pay my respects. I guess I am now. Not quite 45 years old. What were you doing on your birthday eve my friend? Having fun, socializing and flirting with a pretty woman I hope. To Anita and your other siblings, many nieces and nephews, and friends: please accept our condolences on the passing of Alan. He was loved and will be missed.
