He was really a passionate artist. Whenever he sang, he held nothing back.

We all believe that he's with God. He was a spiritual person. He saw the beauty of life, and I have no doubt in my mind that he knew God in only a way that he could.

Garth was smart enough that he could have done just about anything. He was book savvy, and the things he knew, he knew well. He spoke with confidence.

He always liked to have a good time. It could be a serious time and you could always count on him to go have a beer and chew the fat. If Garth was around, you'd either be smiling or laughing.

We talked a lot about spiritual things. He would always say something that would make me think, and I thank God for that.

With an artist it's like you're walking out into a room with your underwear on and everyone's pointing and laughing. When I show 'Raising of Lazarus' I guarantee that every artist in all of Salt Lake will come up and find something wrong with it. That gets kind of old.
