He was born the oldest son of Dannie Phillip Garrett, Sr and Mildred Bankston Garrett on September 1, 1945 in Franklinton, LA. He was a longtime resident of Baton Rouge and most recently Prairieville, LA where he owned and operated his businesses, Fireplace Wholesale and Pelican Land Services. Phillip was an avid outdoorsman, the love of which he learned from his father. He experienced great joy in sharing this passion with many others through the years. He pulled many fish from the waters around Grand Isle and killed more whitetail deer than he could count. It has been said that he knows more about deer than most deer know about themselves. Phillip was a proud father of three and grandfather of seven. He is survived by his children Dannie Phillip Garrett, III and wife Julie, Dr. Nancy Garrett Hoover and husband Jack, and Dr. Paul D. Garrett and wife Rachel; his grandchildren Davis and Griffin Garrett, Noah and Andrew Hoover, and Matthew, Anna and William Garrett; his siblings Martha Kane, Sylvia Garrett Dugas, Cecile Green and husband Jeff, David Garrett and wife Susan, and Judy Garrett Wise. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dannnie Phillip Garrett, Sr. and Mildred Bankston Garrett and brother in law, John W. Kane. The family would like to thank the donor of Phillip’s lung transplant. This blessing, given in 2006, allowed for Phillip and his family and friends to enjoy more quality time with one another. The family would also like to extend a special thank you to Johnny Akers for his friendship and care throughout his illness, as well as Dr. Leo Blaize, Dr. Mark Kantrow and Glenn Landry of the Palliative Care team of OLOL, InHisCare Hospice and the nurses of the RCU at OLOL.
