Manx Veteran Killed in Ukraine Repatriated to Island

  • Chris Garrett, an armed forces veteran from Peel, had his remains repatriated to the Isle of Man on May 23, 2025, arriving at Ronaldsway Airport at 3:24pm.
  • Garrett worked disarming explosive devices placed by Russian soldiers in Ukraine and was killed earlier in May during his service with humanitarian charity Prevail Together.
  • A special repatriation ceremony for Chris Garrett was arranged by the Isle of Man’s Royal British Legion group in Ramsey, featuring a guard of honour, an escort provided by the Moddey Dhoo Motorcycle Club led by Garrett’s childhood friend Matt Lambah, and a motorcade to Peel displaying Manx, British, and Ukrainian flags.
  • Matt Lambah described Garrett as “one of a kind” whose explosive ordnance disposal knowledge was “second to none,” recalling an incident with a faulty practice grenade and praising Garrett’s life-saving work teaching Ukrainians.
  • Garrett’s remains were received by local and veteran communities, and his death was called a “massive loss,” with hopes his memory and teachings will endure among those he served and saved.
