It is with broken hearts and unimaginable grief that we share the sudden and untimely passing of Matt Garrett, who left this world far too soon on Saturday, following a heart attack.
Matt’s passing has sent shockwaves through his wide circle of friends, colleagues, and loved ones—not only in Atlanta, where he made his home, but far beyond. Known for his sharp wit, generous spirit, and unwavering loyalty, Matt was a constant source of strength and warmth to those around him. He had an extraordinary ability to make people feel seen, heard, and valued, whether in a boardroom, at a backyard barbecue, or during a late-night conversation.
Professionally, Matt was respected for his insight, work ethic, and leadership, often going above and beyond to support his team and mentor others. Personally, he was the kind of friend who showed up without hesitation, the kind of family member who anchored others through life’s storms, and the kind of soul whose presence simply made everything brighter.
The suddenness of his loss has left a profound emptiness, but also a deep well of memories that those who loved him will carry forward. From spontaneous road trips to heartfelt advice, and from shared laughter to quiet support, Matt’s life was marked by moments that mattered—and by a heart that gave endlessly.
Details regarding memorial services will be shared in the coming days, as family and friends gather to honor and celebrate Matt’s life.
As we mourn the loss of someone so irreplaceable, we also remember the joy he brought into the world and the countless lives he touched. Matt Garrett’s legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and love—and though his time here was far too short, the impact he made will last forever.
Rest peacefully, Matt. You will be missed beyond measure and remembered with boundless love.
