Roy Gardner Obituary


Roy L. "Roger" Gardner

Roy L. "Roger" Gardner passed away May 26, 2011 after a short illness.
Born February 14, 1944 in Burdine, KY, Roy was a long time resident of Snohomish County where he worked in the logging and tree-topping business for over 40 years.
He was an avid fisherman and hunter and especially loved steelhead fishing on Canyon Creek and camping with his family and friends.
Roger leaves behind his wife of 39 years, Barbara; son, Derek and daughter-in-law, Tamara; and grandson, Dylan; along with step-grandchildren and one great-granddaughter; as well as his shadow, Maggie, his dog.
He touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.
At Roger's request, there will be no service; a celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

The last time I seen Mr.Roy he was at the timberline where I work. I just heard the news and it makes me very sad. He had a kind soul. Everytime I went to the bar to get change or a drink for a customer, he would ask me how I was doing. We had many talks outside while I was taking my break. He was an honest man and never worried about what to say when something was on his mind. I am so sad I did not get to say goodbye. I will miss him. Say hi to my mom and dad and brother for me, because I know you are going to heaven.

There are no words that will take away your pain, only time will help to ease it. May “the God of all comfort” (1 Cor. 1:3) help to you at this time. I am so sorry for your families loss.

I'm so sorry to hear of Roger's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.

I was just thinking of you guys the other day (I have a mole issue)and I told my son-in-law how Roger had "fixed" our problem one night with a shotgun in the hole. Many years ago! And it still makes me laugh.

My grandkids are older than Jenni and Derek were when we moved. I think of you often. May your memories bring you comfort.

Barb, Derek and family, we're truly saddened about Roger passing.
We shared many campfires and had great hunts and fishing trips together, those memories I'll always treasure.
Rest in peace "Paco" have the fire wood cut for our next campfire.
