Obituary of Garrett Joseph Boldt

Garrett Joseph Boldt passed away on Sunday December 18, 2022 at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale, MN at the age of 33.  

It was Garrett’s desire to be an organ donor.  His death and our family’s sorrow, provided three people with the ultimate Gift of Life through organ donation. Garrett was surrounded by family as he passed & entered into eternal life with his Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. 

He was a resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Garrett was born November 7th, 1989 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and grew up in Eagan, MN. He was the loving son of Robert (Bob) Boldt and Margaret (Peggy) Moriarity and brother to Jessica (Boldt) Clark and brother-in-law to Casey Clark. 

Growing up Garrett was athletic and loved playing hockey & lacrosse and any other sport in between, many of which were coached by his dad Bob with Peggy as team manager or booster club mom. He loved Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, video games, playing with legos & beanie babies with his sister, camping in Northern Minnesota, playing in the snow & being outdoors, drawing, music & art. Garrett was always the life of the party and could make everyone laugh with his many impressions & jokes. Recently, Garrett was planning for a new job, and was looking forward to going fishing & hunting again with his dad, brother-in-law & uncles, and all the laughs they’d share at hunting camp and on the fishing boat. His contagious laughter, jokes, impressions of people and comedians, & free spirit will be deeply missed.

Garrett is preceded in death by grandparents Joseph and Vi Moriarity and LeRoy and Stella Boldt and many great aunts & uncles. Garrett is survived by parents Bob & Peggy Boldt (Burnsville), sister & brother-in-law Jessica & Casey Clark (Minneapolis), and extended family including many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. 

Celebration of Life will be held at Eagan Hills Church (700 Diffley Rd, Eagan, MN 55123) on Saturday, January 14th at 1pm.
