His life was a good ride. William “Billy” Alan Garrett, 58, never met a stranger and never missed an opportunity to live. He loved quality conversation, to tell stories, and to make a new friend wherever life took him–whether it be on a long haul adventure, a motor cross race, or a quick stop to the North Pole to chat.  Hard work was innate, friendships were important, and family was fundamental.  Billy was a momma’s boy, survived by Norma Garrett of Clarksburg and the late Robert Garrett.  He found comfort and camaraderie in his sister, Marci Pinion and her husband Tony of Front Royal, VA.  Bill understood the importance of education and hard work and instilled this value in his children- daughter, Georgina Garrett Aye of Baltimore, MD and son Zach Garrett of Huntington, WV. Bill had two grandchildren, Valentina and Sloan Aye.
Bill spent years racing motocross and thrill seeking adventure.  He was an avid Pittsburgh Penguins fan.  He enjoyed the customer service aspects of work after 16 years at Pepsi Co. and working for various trucking companies. William was a graduate of Washington Irving High School Class of 1976 and a member of Broad Oaks United Methodist Church.

On July 22, 2016, he went upward to continue his ride in the sky.  Family and friends may call at the Amos Carvelli Funeral Home, 201 Edison Street, Nutter Fort on Monday, July 25, 2016 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, where funeral services will be held at 2:00 pm.

In keeping with his request, Bill will be cremated following the service.
