Garth was a special person. Rarely do you meet someone as sincerely kind and considerate. While reading all the other condolences, I realized that Garth treated everyone with the same respect, kindness and love. He is an inspiration.

There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from heaven, spend the day with them, just one more time, give them a hug, hear their voice again and tell them how much their friendship means. I always told Garth there are people you meet along our life journey who we immediately connect with. Garth was one of those people. I will miss him.

Garth was a great mentor to us all at Berkley. Even though we worked in different departments he would take the initiative to check in with me at the office / during the pandemic when there was no specific reason to. He was always there to offer help, support, and his experience. It was always fun working with garth and being his colleague, we will miss him.

My most sincere condolences to Garth's family. He was an incredible person and someone who I considered a friend and mentor. He was always there for me and so supportive. We would talk multiple times in a week or even in the same day depending on what exciting project we had on the go. There was never a question I had, that he couldn't help with and his knowledge in our industry was legendary. My heart aches and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who loved him.

Garth was a good man. Our connection was through the insurance industry. He was helpful, kind, honest, generous with his time and fun. He was an incredibly capable underwriter, the best in his specialty, and I learned a lot from him. He never failed to ask about life, my kids, vacations etc and it always felt genuine. He loved Mark and his family very much and spoke of them often. My sincere condolences to Mark and the Huestis family for your great loss. I will always remember him. Rest In Peace Garth.

Garth was a beloved member of the Berkley Canada Team. He was the first person to welcome me to the team when I first joined. From that point on, I knew he was special. I was able to bear witness to Garth's amazing skills within the insurance industry - but more importantly, I got to witness Garth as an extraordinary human. He was kind, smart as a whip, and shined brightly. We will miss him dearly.

Deepest sympathies to Mark and the Huestis family. Garth will be greatly missed by everyone that had the good fortune to have known him and touch their lives. The passing of one of our best friends is a great loss. Our relationship spans 34 years going back to the early days of our careers at Safeco and only grew stronger through the decades. He was always up to taking on new challenges or adventures or to provide support to those he knew. We will never forget the part he played in our lives ranging from being the best man at our wedding many years ago to the simplest of pleasures such as enjoying many great meals together. RIP dear friend, our hearts are with you.
