Garrett Curtis Capps-Gordon...January 28, 2012
Garrett Curtis Capps-Gordon passed away Saturday January 28, 2012 at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital after a tragic accident at his home in Tallahassee. He was only 14 years old, born on April 17, 1997 in Tallahassee. He lived with his mother, Catrina Capps, and his grandmother, Sonya Capps, in Bristol, Florida until he was 10 years old. He then moved to Tallahassee to live with his father, James Gordon, and his stepmother, Jeanne Waggaman, until his passing. Garrett was a vivacious and charming young teenager who never knew a stranger. He was constantly saying hello and starting up conversations with anyone who had the time. His smile could light up the world, and did. Garrett would do anything for a laugh. He enjoyed pranks and was big into drama if he thought he could get a smile out of you. Garrett had a special way with animals and they always loved him, which was good since he had cats, dogs, and parrots at his home. One cat in particular, Minerva, slept with him every night. She has been looking for him ever since he left us. Garrett loved anything that had to do with the outdoors -- biking, hiking, rowing, fishing, hunting, four-wheeling, fort-making, tree climbing, swimming, and camping. He was on the 8th Grade Capital City Crew Team for a short while and won First Place with his teammates at a competition in Tampa on December 3rd, 2011. Garrett was so proud of his medal that day.
