Garland built Monrovia Body Shop and Wrecker Service from the bottom up. He loved to bass fish. He was a humble, kind, and loving man. He never judged and always had a joke to tell. You never walked away from him without having a smile on your face.
He loved his family and loved to help the community. He always had something to give even if it was the shirt off his back.
