Garrett Park Blagg Memorial Service

Garrett Park Blagg, 41, of Colorado, died Friday, December 23, 2016 from complications resulting from Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis (HIT). He was born April 21, 1975 in Pueblo, CO, the first of two sons of Terry and Jonnelle (Schrier) Blagg. He attended Jefferson County schools, in Lakewood and graduated from Bear Creek High School in 1994. Garrett received his first pair of hockey skates when he was just five years old and he instantly found his love for the ice. He set his sights high and was determined to play the sport- even if it meant that his feet, especially his toenails, would take a beating. He eventually earned a position on Team Colorado and loved reminiscing about the years he spent with the team and the traveling they did to compete in various tournaments throughout the nation. He often told stories of their rigorous practice schedule and the support he received from his mom, who was not only his chauffer, but his #1 fan who never missed a game and could always be heard cheering from the stands. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Bethel University in St. Paul, MN where he played men’s hockey.[...]
