I am currently updating our database for our 11th year of Man22SAR and would love to add a “Tell Us About Your Loved One” section to each hero’s photo. I’ve already started this update for this year and would like to backtrack to include previous years as well. This will help us share their stories with the world in a more meaningful and heartfelt way.

CPL Xavier Zavala, 22

Xavier was a happy, curious, adventurous, and fearless, child, teenager, and young man. “X” as he was known by his family and friends, marched to the beat of his own drum. X didn’t bow to peer pressure or worry about what people thought of him. When it came to hair styles, clothing choices, costumes, or wearing “Free Hug” signs, if he liked it, that was good enough for him. X liked being different and was okay with standing out in a crowd. This made X likeable and approachable, and he made friends easily.

He lived a life marked by dedication, service, and deep love for his family and his lifelong buddies with whom he continued to stay in touch with well after high school, Erik Reenalda & Devon Beal.

Though gone far too soon, Keagan Rashad Garrett leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, service, and perseverance. May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him.
