Garrett Thomas Hall

Garrett Thomas Hall, 56, a lifelong resident of Merrimack, NH, passed away suddenly at his home on Thursday, August 7, 2025, after a brief illness. Born on December 17, 1968, he was the son of John T. and Maureen J. (Wyrwicz) Hall of Merrimack.

Garrett was a proud graduate of Merrimack High School, Class of 1988, and pursued his passion for cars at the New Hampshire Technical Institute, where he honed his skills in automotive mechanics. His love for cars extended far beyond his education, becoming the foundation of his life’s work. Garrett owned and operated his own auto shop, where he not only cared for his clients’ vehicles but also spent countless hours working on his beloved drag racing car. His passion for cars was only rivaled by his dedication to his family and friends.

Garrett was an exceptional and devoted father to his daughter, Maylee Hall. Together, they shared an unbreakable bond, built on a love of creativity, and their shared enthusiasm for the outdoors. Garrett found immense joy in sharing his knowledge and passion for cars with Maylee, teaching her how to appreciate the beauty of mechanics and design.

He was also a member of the racing community, regularly participating in events at the New England Dragway, where his love for competition and speed was truly realized.

In addition to his parents and daughter, Garrett is survived by his daughter’s mother, Heather Dubois; his brother Nathan Hall and his wife Susana Hall of Merrimack; and his extended family, including Uncle Richard and wife Lynda Wyrwicz, Aunt Linda (predeceased by Peter Wyrwicz), Aunt Christine and Arthur Andon, Aunt Norma and Paul Angwin, and several cousins.

Garrett will be remembered not only for his undeniable talent and love for cars but also for his kind heart and willingness to help others. Whether it was fixing a car, sharing a story, or offering a hand to a friend, Garrett was always there for those who needed him.

Services will be held on Saturday, September 6th at 11:00 am at the Last Rest Cemetery in Merrimack, followed by a Celebration of Life at the John O’Leary Adult Community Center.

Garrett may have crossed the finish line too soon, but he lived his life in the fast lane–always full throttle, a quarter mile at a time. His legacy will continue to race on in the hearts of those who loved him.
