Skip Garner Memorial Service

This video is the memorial service for Skip Garner. Luther Garner (AKA Skip) was born on July 3, 1949. He passed away Tuesday, August 11, 2020. His memorial was held at the Minnehaha Church of Christ on Saturday, August 22, 2020.

If you were friends with Skip on Facebook you probably know that he loved Dr. Pepper, Minions, and owls. But more than all that, Skip had a sincere love for Jesus Christ. Skip was baptized into Christ in 2011. Back in 2018, Skip fell and had was suddenly reminded of how fragile life can be. He wrote the following email to some of his friends.

“Hi, guys. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for being my friends. I had a close call with this fall and I'm just now realizing just how serious it was. It seems I had a mild concussion and according to the doctor, it could have been much worse. I may be a little emotional but this morning while shaving I looked at myself and saw my mortality looking back at me. Anyway, I just wanted you all to know how much each one of you means to me. Thank you!!!
Skip
P.S. I really don't mean to upset anyone but, I am very grateful that I was able to find Christ.”

Skip also loved the great outdoors and especially the mountains of Montana. One of his last wishes was to have his ashes taken on one last trip to the mountains in Montana. His granddaughters have set up a “go fund me” page to raise the funds needed for them to carry out Skip’s final wishes. Please consider giving to this fund. https://gf.me/u/yqzxzt
