Statement Released by West Orange Stark Head Coach Dan Hooks

From Staff Reports - TheRecordLive

WEST ORANGE—

“On behalf of the West Orange-Stark coaching staff, and myself, we want

to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Reggie Garrett. Words

can not express how devastated we are that a promising young man’s life

has been taken so suddenly."

Reggie, was a great representation of a

Mustang both on and off the field. He had a gentle smile and a kind

heart. He will be sorely missed and in his death, he has left a big void

in all of us.

It is through our faith, and the strength and guidance of the great

support system of the Mustang family, friends and the people of Orange,

that we will with time understand the impact that this young man’s death

has had on all of us.

We do not have any details right now of the cause

of his death nor have any funeral arrangements been made at this time.

As they become available we will pass them along.

We are not looking

ahead at anything right now, just dealing with the reality of the

tragedy and will take it one day at a time.

Again, our thoughts and prayers are with the Garrett family in this most difficult time.”
