Overview: In the summer of 1979, Garrett contracted a viral infection which led to meningitis, and/or encephalitis.
In The Best of Randall Garrett, a combined anthology and festschrift which was published in January of 1982, editor Robert Silverberg (a personal friend of Garrett’s) stated that although the infection "for a time threatened [Garrett’s] life and for a much longer time has made it impossible for him to work", Garrett was "fighting his way back to full recovery" — and, indeed, when Algis Budrys reviewed the anthology in the August 1982 issue of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, he stated that he had been told that "when last seen, Garrett was seated at a dinner table, cheerfully ignoring the assembled company and attempting to remember the words to a dirty song"; however, in October 1982, Dave Langford reported that the Hugo Award ceremony at that year’s Worldcon had included an announcement that Garrett "had permanently lost his memory". In 2011, Langford and Brian M. Stableford’s entry on Garrett in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction summarized him as having been "hospitalized from 1981 until his death" in 1987.
