His mom was a home maker who worked part time at the grocery store, his dad was a roofer and contractor for most of his life. Gareth's father had a drinking and gambling problem, which left most of the financial burden on his wife's part time job. For a man who made a decent amount of money, they were always behind in their bills or asking friends and neighbors for loans. His father was the reason Gareth never wanted to drink or gamble, two things he never regretted. In order to help his mom, the single child always took on odd jobs when he was young and worked at the local deli, gas station and landscaper through his years in middle and high school.<br/><br/>Gareth always wanted to get away from town and be on his own but he did not want to leave his mom behind. The relationship with his father was not good and the two would  get into heated arguments during his old man's drinking episodes. His mother died in his sophomore year of high school and it was the final straw that broke his "home life". His father began to give in to his vices and would vanish for days, in two years he aged twenty. Luckily the little life insurance was enough to keep the house and prevent Gareth's father from selling it for liquor since it was willed to Gareth.<br/><br/>After a fall off the roof, Gareth's father ended up on disability and completely began to fall apart. Unable to deal with the grief of losing his mother and his father's deterioration, Gareth began to sleep at friend's houses, neighbors, anyone who was willing to keep him for a night or two to prevent going home to the mess his home life had become. Despite the loss and grief, Gareth managed to keep his grades up, continued to work and was a star player on the football team.<br/><br/>He was good enough to get a scholarship but not a full ride. He was a good Athlete but he did not gamble on the chance to go pro. Gareth considered doing it all by himself but then he met a recruiter. His last year of high school was spent getting ready to become a marine. He was ready to leave town, the moment he graduated he planned on taking the next bus out of town the following day and he did...<br/><br/>In the time Gareth was gone his father died but he did not come to the funeral. The house was officially willed to him but the only child, asked a lawyer in town to rent it out for him in his absence. Gareth seemed serious about never returning even if he did keep some sort of contact with a select few in town.<br/><br/>A lot happened in his absence, Gareth was deployed to Iraq multiple times he met someone in the service and they had a child in his final year in the service. He would have signed up for a third time but he had a son and his mother wanted nothing to do with neither him nor their son. With his service to his country complete, a son that meant the world to him and no where else to go. Gareth returned to Elliquy in hopes of rebuilding a good future for his baby boy.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Other:</strong><br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>Rex </strong><br/>Gareth's Jr dog<br/><br/>(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r554/onilobo1/husky-dog_zps5daaa7c0.jpg)</div><br/><div align="center">Gareth's truck<br/><br/>(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r554/onilobo1/truck_zps190819e4.jpg)</div>
