Biography[]

Early Life[]

Garrett was a troubled boy who did anything to get even. He once smashed his principal's window because he gave him and his friend, Damon Crowley, detention for a week for wearing innapropriate shirts. His father, Jack Sykes, bailed him out of everything since he was a police officer and told Garrett that his actions are only hurting himself. Garrett is later sent to Camp Stillwater by his dad where he met Jessie Tyler. They first butted heads because Garrett was still on his mission to get even with everyone, and he eventually got the nickname 'Townie'. At the end of camp in 1982, Garrett and Jessie became good friends, but then Garrett found out his father had passed away. ("Townie")
