BOONEVILLE/Hobo Station Community — Garnet Matthew West, 53, passed away Friday, November 17, at his home. Garnet was born in West Memphis, Arkansas, on November 28, 1969, to the parents of Vivian Norton and Lonnie D. West. Garnet never met a stranger, wasn’t scared to get his hands dirty, never shied away from a home cooked meal, and was always lending a hand to help those in need. Garnet could build and fix anything! Growing up he enjoyed rebuilding vehicles, woodworking, and was an avid wrestling fan- watching and even participating in the sport. During racing season, you could always find him enjoying NASCAR on Sunday afternoons. Garnet lived most of his adult life in Pontotoc where he managed Pizza Hut and supervised and owned multiple Subways. He will be missed by all who knew him, especially his family.
