The Bakersfield Californian 
Garrett Michael Prather
Dec. 8, 1994 - Oct. 28, 2004

Garrett, our courageous warrior, entered into the arms of his Lord Jesus 
Christ on Thursday, October 28th in Los Angeles, California after courageously 
fighting a 3 year battle with brain cancer. His positive attitude and God 
given strength was an inspiration to everyone who knew him. 

Garrett was born on December 8, 1994 in Bakersfield, California to Hugh and 
Andrea Prather and he attended Almondale Elementary where he had many, many 
friends and teachers that he loved. Garrett was a very athletic child and 
loved to play baseball, golf, soccer and ride his quads with his two sisters, 
Lauren and Nikki. He was an avid fan of the Denver Broncos and New York 
Yankees and in June he was privileged to have been able to go to a Yankees 
game and to personally meet all of the team players.

Garrett leaves behind to cherish his memory, his parents, Hugh and Andrea 
Prather; sisters, Lauren and Nikole; grandparents, Earl and Linda Thomas of 
Bakersfield and Gene and Beth Applegate of Phoenix, Arizona and numerous 
aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A celebration of Garretts life will be held on Saturday, November 6, 2004, at 
10:00 a.m., at Stine Road Baptist Church, 3001 Stine Rd. Pastor Jeff Ward will 
be officiating the services. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Park. 
There will be no public viewing hours scheduled. Garrett will be tremendously 
missed by all who were blessed to have known him. Funeral services have been 
entrusted to West Side Family Mortuary, Taft (661) 763-1594.

Jesus said,

Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs
to such as these.

Matthew 19:14
