Our friend and colleague Darrell Garrett passed away suddenly on Friday August 10.

Darrell was a formidable project manager who was held in high regard for the precision and care with which he shepherded his buildings from conception to completion. He leaves a profound legacy not only in bricks and mortar but in the futures he helped secure for the families we serve.

 We remember Darrell as a kind, gentle and patient man. His deep voice and generous laughter was a familiar and comforting feature of the Habitat offices and fostered the affection of his many friends.

We have been asked by Darrell’s current and former colleagues where they can make a contribution toward the immediate expenses of his family at this difficult time. Please feel free to use this site, administered by Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco, to make a safe, secure donation in memory of our friend.
