GRIFFIN

THEODORE VAUGHAN "GARRETT"

Theodore Vaughan "Garrett" Griffin, 45, of Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, passed away tragically on Saturday, July 25, 2026.

Garrett was the beloved husband and best friend of 19 years to Amanda (Shadrach) Griffin and the devoted father of Charlotte (11), Maddie (9), and Teddy (9), who were the center of his world. He was the cherished son of H. Vaughan Griffin of Rutland, VT and Mary Beth Halligan of Seabrook Island, SC; son-in-law of Sherry Shadrach of Murrysville, PA and Bill Shadrach of Salt Lake City, UT; and a loving relative, colleague, mentor, and friend to countless people whose lives were made better by knowing him. He was preceded in death by his sister, Lindsay Griffin, and his brother, H. Vaughan Griffin, Jr.

Born and raised in Rutland, Vermont, Garrett was a proud Red Raider who embraced every opportunity to compete, lead, and build friendships.

Garrett went on to attend High Point University, where he starred as a pitcher on the baseball team and lettered for two years before a career-ending shoulder injury.

Following graduation from High Point University, Garrett embarked on a distinguished career with PepsiCo.

Garrett treasured every moment spent with Amanda and took immense pride in Charlotte, Maddie, and Teddy. He loved everything about being a Dad, including coaching his children's sports teams, cheering from the sidelines, playing basketball in the driveway, baking cookies, and planning epic family vacations. Garrett was always present and fully engaged, not just for the big moments, but also for the everyday ones that quietly become life's greatest memories. He truly loved being a husband and father above all else.

Though his life was cut far too short, Garrett's spirit will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched, the friendships he nurtured, and the love he shared so freely. The values he instilled, the memories he created, and the unconditional love he gave will remain woven into the fabric of his family forever. His legacy will live on through the lives of his children, the stories they will share, and the countless ways they will carry a part of their dad with them every single day.

To honor Garrett's vibrant personality and the joy he brought to the world, his family requests that those attending his visitation wear bright and bold colors.

Garrett will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and endlessly loved.

Garrett's life will be memorialized at a funeral service on Friday, July 31st, 2026 at 11AM in Orchard Hill Church, 2551 Brandt School Rd. Wexford, PA 15090. A visitation will follow at DEVLIN FUNERAL HOME of CRANBERRY, 2678 Rochester Rd., Cranberry Twp., PA 16066 from 12:30-3:30PM.
