It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected passing of Garrett Donald Ibbitson, age 26, of Fort Lawrence, Nova Scotia. Garrett passed away Friday morning, July 7, 2023 at the Dr. Georges Dumont University Hospital Centre.

Born in Winnipeg, MB, he was the son of Dan and Cheryl (Chrest) Ibbitson.

Garrett was a kind, compassionate young man with a great passion for motorcycles, aviation and animals, who was always concerned about the less fortunate. His two greatest loves in life were his rescue cat, Little One, and his 1995 Yamaha Virago. He always felt free with his bike below him. He was also very musically talented.

Along with his parents, Garrett will be dearly missed by his brother Ty of Roland, MB, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Arrangements are under the care and supervision of the Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church Street, Amherst, NS (902-667-8777). There will be no services at this time.

For those wishing to do so, donations may be directed to The Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia or The CHU Dumont Foundation.

We would also like to extend our greatest thanks to the doctors and staff of the Moncton Hospital & Dr. Georges Dumont University Hospital Centre, who provided Garrett with such exceptional care.
