Garrett planned an imaginative funeral, with five bouncy houses (one for each year of his life), snow cones, and of course, Batman.
“I want to be burned (like when Thor’s Mommy died) and made into a tree so I can live in it when I’m a gorilla,” he wrote.
And he wanted fireworks.
“That’s him speaking. Those are his words verbatim,” his father Ryan Matthias told WHO. “When I read it, I’m just like
‘Wow’. Sounds like Garrett just yapping at me.”
CNN was not able to reach Garrett’s parents Thursday.
They said they will honor his wishes with a symbolic Thor-influenced burial ceremony and fireworks on Saturday.
“A private burial of Garrett’s ashes will be held at a later time once his parents figure out how the hell to get his ashes made into a tree and locate a nature preserve, so his tree resides in a protected area,” they wrote.
