Patrice Marie Garver

Patrice “Reesee” Marie Garver of Casper, WY passed away September 24, 2024, after an unexpected medical emergency. She was born to Jim and Trish Alva on November 6, 1995, in Billings MT and moved to California with her family a few years later. In 2014, she moved to Casper, WY with her parents, where she remained until her passing. Shortly after arriving in Casper, she met her best friend and love of her life, Benjamin. Together they welcomed their daughter, Lilly, January 2017 and were married April 28th, 2018. 

While her life was short, there was nothing she would not do for anyone; she impacted the lives of many. She had a heart of gold and always made every holiday, birthday, and event special. Lilly’s fondest memory with her mother was attending Mommy and me Tea Parties. Her family also remembers her baking skills, especially the green and blue frosting mishap. She had also recently started a photography business hoping to share her love of taking pictures with others. While she was behind the lens of many memories, her presence was always felt. 

She is proceeded in death by her paternal grandmother, Ruth Alva, maternal grandparents, Fred and Joan Vereen. She is survived by her husband, Benjamin Garver, daughter, Lilly Garver, father and mother, Jim and Trish Alva, brother Joseph Alva, sister Chelsea (Melissa) VanderSanden and their children Caroline and Oliver, nieces, nephews, numerous in-laws, aunts, uncles, and cousins. 

A Memorial Service will be held on October 3, 2024, at 2:00pm at Newcomer Casper Chapel. Followed by a reception at Wyoming Rib & Chop House at 4:00pm. To share a memory of Reesee or leave a special message for the family, please visit the guestbook below.
