Garrick was very involved with the Wesleyan Church, both in Sydney and in Christchurch.
He had acted as a preacher and supported the church financially.

Soon after his arrival in Christchurch, he had Samuel Farr design him a house on Papanui Road.
He married Elizabeth (née Peacock), the oldest sister of the Hon John Thomas Peacock (1827–1905).
Peacock's mother Maria (1804/05–1884) shares a grave at Barbadoes Street Cemetery with many family members, including two Garrick children who died young: Kate (d. 27 March 1865 aged nine months) and Alfred Sydney (d. 17 March 1877 aged 6.5 years).

Garrick died on 7 June 1890 of bronchitis.
He was survived by his wife Elizabeth, five sons, and two daughters.
Together with the two children who died early, they thus had (at least) nine children.
He was buried at the St Paul's Anglican Church Cemetery.
