Duane Garrett was born in San Francisco, California where his parents, Blackburn and Tina Garrett, owned and operated Garrett's Ice Cream on Alemany Boulevard. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1969 and the Boalt School of Law in Berkeley in 1972. After passing the bar, he joined the San Francisco law form of Hanson, Bridgett, Marcus, Vlahos & Rudy.
In 1989, Garrett and two partners bought the Richard Wolffers auction house, which soon after became one of the largest sports memorabilia auction houses in the U.S. By 1992, the market for sports memorabilia was roughly $5 billion a year. By then Garrett had stopped practicing law, and had become a part-time radio talk-show host on KGO, at the time the most popular radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Garrett became close friends with businessman Richard Blum, husband of U.S. Senator and former San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein. He quickly rose through the ranks of political advisors, working for the campaigns of various Democratic politicians, including Jerry Brown, Bruce Babbitt and Al Gore in addition to Feinstein. At the 1984 Democratic National Convention, held in San Francisco, he introduced Senator Edward Kennedy.
By 1994, the market for sports memorabilia had cooled considerably, and Garrett apparently was slow to adjust to the new reality.
Duane Garrett was survived by his wife, whom he married in 1969, and two daughters.
