​
He died in his sleep at his Cardiff home on February 21, a week before his 77th birthday, and he is survived by his wife and three children. 

Welsh Automotive Forum chief executive Tim Williams said: "Garel's death has been a tremendous shock to all in the forum and I know the sadness will be shared throughout the automotive community as we extend our very deepest and sincere condolences to his family."
