I share my deepest sympathies with the Young family, and especially with his son Ryan, on the passing of Garrett Young due to neuroendocrine carcinoma. I share this with permission, as the family has made an official announcement on Instagram, and I encourage others to support their work as Ryan carries on the legacy. @OG1group
Garrett was the founder and owner of Won Brand, OG1 Group, and Web Gemz Gloves. @WebGemz He was a true innovator in the customization space…from showcasing the “birth” of a glove and shaping trends on Instagram, to pushing fully customizable uniforms and pioneering 3D helmet logos. He built everything from the ground up and developed strong overseas relationships to bring his vision to life.
He played a key role in supporting and launching our vision for the Prospect Wire All-American Game at Vanderbilt, featuring players like Elijah Green, Marcelo Mayer, Termarr Johnson, Drew Jones, and many others. At A3 Academy, we continued to use and believe in his products because they were different…and better.
Garrett never wanted to just ship product. He’d have me drive my butt to meet him halfway between Tampa and Ocala, usually in a Cracker Barrel parking lot, just so he could personally walk me through everything. That’s who he was! He took so much pride in his work and genuinely cared about the people he worked with and wanted to see the smile on my face with how cool everything came out.
I pray his family finds peace during this time, and I wish Ryan continued strength and success as he carries the family business forward. God bless.
