Celebrating the life of
C.J. Garrad
July 08, 1993 - July 30, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ciaran Jon “CJ” Garrad, who left us far too soon on July 30, 2025, at the age of 32.
Born on July 8, 1993, in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England. CJ was an incredible friend, a protective brother, loving son and wonderful coworker. After earning a degree in surgical technology, CJ worked at Optim Orthopedics and St. Joseph’s hospital, where he excelled as a surgical tech in the operating room. His kindness, sense of humor, and generous spirit touched everyone he met. He was known for his warm smile, big bear hugs, unwavering loyalty, ability to sleep anywhere and his contagious laugh.
CJ is survived by his parents, Matthew and Christine Garrad, siblings, Kevin (Cassy), Sean (Marcela) and Imogen (Chris), close friends and countless others who loved and cherished him. Though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will last a lifetime. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
A celebration of CJ’s life will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at Fox & Weeks. Doors will open at 11 AM for service to begin at 12 PM. All that loved him are welcome to attend.
Gone too soon but never forgotten. 4L.
Sending love to Mum and Dad, Kev, Sean and Immy. So lucky to have had him as a friend for so long.

Cj will be missed so much. I worked with Cj at the Joe. He had a huge sense of humor and he was quite the personality. He always knew how to make me feel better when I was having a bad day. Some days I did not know exactly what I needed space or a hug, but he would be persistent and always make me laugh. He was such a beautiful soul. Yall are in my prayers. Gone from our sight, but never our memories. Gone from our touch, but never our hearts.

Matt, Christine, and Family. Words truly cannot express how truly sorry I am for the loss you are experiencing. It was such a privilege and honor to be present for the Memorial Honor Walk. I used to see CJ at the Joe and at Planet Fitness. I enjoyed talking to him the few times we interacted. If any of you need anything or just need someone to talk to, please know I am a phone call away. CJ will always live on in your hearts, thoughts, words, and deeds. You are all in my deepest prayers.

Matt we have already spoken but there are really no words I can give to ease your pain. I didnt know him personally but I see you as a Brother from another Mother, your pain is a shared one. The brightest stars burn out the quickest. His generosity in death leaves me speachless, he will go on in others and that I hope give you both small comfort. I wish I could be there in person to support you, but plase know that I am always at the other end of the phone in the UK for you both.

I worked with CJ at the Joe. He was such a kind and good worker. The week he quit working with us, we had a little talk and i was asking a million questions lol,( if you know me you know that i was like a momma bear around here with the young folks, i just let them have it just what i thought) but CJ had all the answers to my Noisy questions (LOL). Im really gonna miss him not answering me when i would call him on facetime when we were paired up in a case together and him threatening to block me because i would call him too much. To his family my condolences are with you all and know that CJ will always be in our hearts and memories.
