March 27, 1947 - July 31, 2018

Lafayette - Anthony "Slim" Garrick entered into heavenly peace Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at Lafayette General Hospital. He was 71 years old. He was born March 27, 1947 to Noah and Edolia Garrick in Church Point, Louisiana. He was the youngest of 12 children. He grew up in Church Point and began his Christian journey as an Altar Boy at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church. He later moved to Lafayette and attended St Anthony Catholic Church. He worked as a Truck Driver for over 40 years and retired from McLean Trucking Company. He was a proud active member of Teamsters Local 201 and a member of the Trucker's Club. He was also a member of the Knights of Peter Claver. He was a father figure to many, he was always there in time of need to provide support, a helping hand or words of encouragement. If he met you once, he would remember you - he never met a stranger. He loved his family and his grandchildren dearly.

Anthony married Mary Catherine Garrick June 29, 1968, and they walked in life's path hand in hand for 50 years of marriage. They shared good times and bad times together. The love they shared has withstood the true test of time.
