Obituary
Joe William Garrett, 69, of Ocala went to be with the Lord on April 26, 2017. Joe was born in Farmville, North Carolina on September 25, 1947 to Joe and Vernice Garrett.

He is survived by his loving wife Pamela and son Joseph of Ocala. A memorial service will be held at Ocala Springs Baptist Church this Sunday, April 30, 2017 following the worship service at 12:15 PM. In lieu of flowers donations should be made to Ocala Springs Baptist Church, Hospice of Marion County, or the K Center at Duke University.
I grew up under the wings of Joe. He was my baseball and basketball coach and teacher. He worked with me all the time after working all day himself. I still play softball today at 60, and I know deep down inside it is because of him.
Joe, thank you for all you did as a husband, father and brother-in-law. I will always love you and have a special place in my heart for you.
RIP
Jeff
