David Gardner Obituary

David Dee Gardner, 93, passed peacefully at home in his sleep on Sept. 18, 2018, with his wife Helen of 70 years at his side. David was born to Arthur and Laura (Harris) Gardner in 1925 in St. Helens, Ore.

David married Helen Earline Ramsey in 1948. The military was his career. In 1965, his family moved to Klamath Falls and he decided it was the place to retire.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sons Rich and Mike, and great-granddaughter Ashley Gardner. He is survived by his wife Helen and their children David A. Gardner and wife Ginger, Connie and her husband Stewart Haley, and Bob Gardner and wife Coco. Also surviving him are sisters, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A public viewing is scheduled from 1 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28, 2018, in O'Hair-Wards Funeral Chapel. A graveside service will be held with military honors on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018, at 1 p.m. at Eternal Hills Memorial Gardens with Pastor Cody DeWitt officiating.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Disabled American Veterans, Paralyzed Veterans, or a charitable organization of your choice.

Sincere sympathies and condolences to Earline and family. Once when they worked together at the base Robert asked David a vehicle repair question and received several hand illustrated pages of instructions to solve the problem from David. David was a life long learner, and a good friend.
