| About |
Gary M. Gardner, 51, died in his Greenfield Twp home late Sunday evening. He did not lose his battle with pancreatic cancer but rather won life's final fight and went home. He was a 1975 graduate of Lakeland High School. He was employed by Greenfield Township for 29 years, where he had the privilege of working outdoors and meeting more friends than one could count along the way. He was a lifelong member of the Finch Hill Baptist Church. Gary had two passions in life, his family and hunting. Difficult to tell which he loved more, it is no surprise that his family's best memories of him stem from his many hunts, from their backyard to Big Sky Country. Gary had a genuine respect for all of nature and taught his children the same adoration. Gary's love will endure forever. Gary was preceded in death by three grandparents, Raymond Pierce, Jesse Gardner and Antoinette Hurd Gardner. It gives his family nothing but joy in acknowledging their reunion in Paradise. |
