Garner was same age as me, same high school (Rugbear too), and sat behind me in 11th grade civics/govt class. Had an annoying habit of putting his foot on the back of my desk and shaking his leg, but was a good guy from what I remember.

Cancer is awful. RIP.

DG43 was a great leader and great man. His younger brother Dwayne Garner and I competed against each other in the OAL ( Oakland Athletic League) I’m the 1980’s. Dwayne ended up at USC and I became a Golden Bear. Dwayne and I continued to stay in touch afterwards. I’m May 2021, I had a chance to see Dwight at his sister’s retirement party at his parents home. He looked great. Strong and in great shape like he could play today. He was like my big brother. My condolences to the Garner Family and my brother Dwayne. RIP #43DG, Brian McGhee (OAL-McClymonds/ Cal Bear)
