Kevin Goodwin Posted September 18, 2010 Report Posted September 18, 2010 Condolences from Center, Tx and the Goodwin Family. I was an honor to know a young man like Reggie. May God bless his family and the Mustang Family. Tragic, there are just no words that can describe.
justryansmom Posted September 18, 2010 Report Posted September 18, 2010 [quote name="FOOTBALLFEVER99" post="850273" timestamp="1284830066"]What a tragedy. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel for a young man I never met but feel I knew..My prayers go out to his family. classmates,and team for this horrible loss. May God give all of you strength during this time of difficulty. Thank you God for the time this young man was with all of them, and the the lifetime impact he was able to inspire in all that knew him. Now he is walking hand and hand with you on streets of gold. God bless! This really puts football and life in perspective.[/quote]I was reading this thread through flowing tears, trying to think of what to say...but I think you said it very well. God bless...

1696dogs Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 We are just coming back from out of town and just getting access to the forum. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Garrett family and the WOS community. We didn't know Reggie personally but after reading all the posts it was definately our loss to not have. He obviously touched many lives.

#1stangfan Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 I have heard what a great student and how intelligent Reggie was. I have heard and witnessed what a great athlete he was. I have heard nothing but positive things (even before his death) about his character and the person he was. We can't choose how smart we will be or how gifted we will be athletically but we can make the right choices and choose to be the best person we can be and I applaude Reggie for being the person he was. I have had some friends when I was younger and have known some young people later on that have met a tragic end because of bad choices and that was hard to deal with. This is especially hard because this young man made the right choices and his choices did not affect his end. I have prayed and will continue to pray for Reggie's family, friends, classmates, teammates, coaches and Mustang fans. I was only a fan in the stands and am hurting, so I will not pretend to know the grief those close to him are going through but do know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

liltex Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 Could we name the setx senior east/west game "Setx Reggie Garrett Senior East/West All Star Classic" w/#12 decals on helmets and maybe some scholarship info/caps/t shirts could be made available for those wishing to lend a hand in a part of it?

What an honor it has been to watch Reggie play for the last several years against our team. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the whole WOS community.
