Garrett took his heavenly flight home to be with the Lord Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022 following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born Oct. 4, 1999, in Savannah, he was a son of Emory William III and Deborah Jean Kingery Reiser of Cleveland. Garrett was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Mary Elizabeth Grier and Emory William Reiser Jr.; twin niece and nephew, Willow and Wade Reiser; and another infant niece or nephew who awaited him in Heaven.
Garrett was a firefighter with Demorest Fire Department with over five years of dedicated service. God was first in his life. Next was his beloved family and then his loyalty to his friends. In his spare time, Garrett enjoyed a good strategy game as well as a well-scripted drama at the cinema. He was a faithful member of Gethsemane Baptist Church.
