On January 1st, 2023 Garth sustained a debilitating stroke that required immediate emergency surgery at UPMC Hamot. Garth is a friend to many and staple in the community. He's worked most of his adult life in the EMS system working as a paramedic for the citizens of Crawford County. Due to recent events, Garth and his family's lives have been turned upside down. He is now in a position where he needs support from the very same community he's aided all these years. Any financial support is greatly appreciated. These funds will go directly to Garth and his family as they decide next steps for the future.
