Peter (Pete) Garrett

Ronan Flanagan -
Peter (Pete) Garrett

Suddenly and peacefully, doing what he loved, in the company of two of his closest friends.

 

Predeceased by his adored father John, his father in law Hughie and brother in law Gerard.

 

Forever loved and deeply missed by his heartbroken wife and soulmate Jenny (Keavney), his much loved daughters Caitlin and Lauren, his mother Jan, sisters Liz (Mike), Barbara (Wayne), Karen and Brad, uncle Peter, aunty Lynn, godmother Aunty Kath, his nieces and nephews, mother in law Doreen, Martin, Karena, Ray, Anne, Gerry and Catriona, neighbours, colleagues, his large circle of friends at home and abroad in the surfing/kneeboarding and music communities and his two fur babies Blaze and Blossom.

 

A remarkable man who moved from the beautiful shores of New Zealand to the North West of Ireland where he found friendship, love, married and had 2 beautiful daughters.

 

His heart, a bridge between two countries was filled with kindness, laughter and a gift to help others. He had the warmth of the Kiwi culture and embraced Irish traditions.

 

With every laugh shared, every story told, of which there were many, he showed us that love knows no boundaries and to embrace life fully no matter where we are.
