Garren's life was a testament to diligence, dedication, and a love for order and care. He served his country in the National Guard, was a Civil Engineer, a Kentucky Colonel and was a member of the Williamstown United Methodist Church.  Known as a master documenter and organizer, his meticulous nature was a cornerstone of his professional and personal life.

Outside of his professional achievements, Garren found joy in the simple pleasures, especially playing in the Crittenden Rook League with his wife for 11 years. Through his love for the game he gained friends and created countless cherished memories.
