John grew up in Peterborough where he was active in his community with scouts, playing baseball and ice hockey, had a paper route in town as a child and later a volunteer EMT and firefighter with the Peterborough Fire Department. He completed his high school requirements in three years and was eager to get out into the world and live life. John's dream was to join the military. Unfortunately, due to medical conditions, that wasn't in the cards for him. Instead he graduated from the Police Academy in Concord and worked as a part-time police officer with the Lyndeboro Police Department for several years.
An avid tinkerer of things, John obtained a certificate in Information Technology and enjoyed a career in IT. Later he returned to school to obtain his credentials to become an HVAC technician where he finished his career. He loved to laugh and was always up for a good joke and a good time. He had the biggest heart and was always there for anyone at any time, often putting others' needs before his own.
Skeet shooting, hunting, go-kart racing, and a good cribbage game were hobbies John loved, in addition to riding his Harley. He was active in church, youth fellowship, and had a strong faith. He has been active with the Gold Star community since 2014. His children were his pride and joy and he loved spending time with family and friends.
Family members include (removed for privacy). He is predeceased by one child, CPL Brandon Garabrant, and his father Kenneth Garabrant. John will be laid to rest with Brandon.
