Michael Jon Gardner

Dear Mickey, Gary , and Jim: Brothers-in-law and brothers, for all time. You've gone on ahead, in time and distance. Until we meet again, we love you and treasure our time with you.

Uncle Mickey was a good, kind uncle and a smart, funny man. He loved watching his kids play sports, hard rock music, and Sheboygan summer sausage from Wisconsin. This is such a big loss for our family. I miss my Uncle Mickey.

I am just in shock that Mickey is gone. My heart goes out to Jenny and Matt especially. I can't imagine what you two must be going through, I am so very sorry for your loss. It was obvious how much he loved his family, so cherish all of your precious memories and know that he will be missed by many.

Dad,
I can't believe you are gone. I miss you so much and hope that you are now at peace with your parents and Gary.

My best memories of you are from when Matt and I were kids and we'd all watch watch a concert on TV and you'd dance around the living room doing your 'rocker kicks' and playing air guitar. You were always the jokester and always had something sarcastic to say (I suppose I get my sarcasm from you ;)

I love you so much and don't know how I'm going to make it...

My Uncle Mickey was a good man. He seemed to really enjoy when the family could get together. I'll always remember that he brought the "snausages". I can't believe our family lost my Dad (Gary) and Uncle Mickey, but know they are at peace and together. I can picture them now having a beer with Grandpa and Uncle F.O., laughing and having a great time.
We miss you.
Love from Debbie Pedersen (Gardner), Brad and the boys, Brandon, Dustin and Adam

Cindy, Jen & Matt,

I just wanted to let you know how sad Virginia and I were to hear about Mick's passing. Our thought and prayers are with you.

I first met Mick when we both worked at Hexcel making skis back in the mid 70's. From that point on it seems as though our paths would always cross, either running into Mick and Cindy at the grocery store, but mainly seeing Mick at the LHS gym or softball field.

I had the pleasure of watching Jen playing basketball and volleyball...

Cindy, Jennifer, and Matt,

My deepest condolences go out to you. I'm sure you know what a special part Mick was in our lives. I have had the opportunity to work closely with him for the last 9 years. When Cal Water implemented our new customer information and billing system he was an intricate part of our team. We experienced some stressful and trying times and Mick was the "rock" we all leaned on for his guidance and expertise. Mick had the ability to learn and understand our new...

Jen and family -
We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
love, Annie & Dave

My cousin Micky is gone, but he won't be forgotten---I remember, us as kids, playing with cars & trucks in the dirt in Rio Linda, CA behind my Uncle John & Aunt Gladis' house. Micky was close enough in age to be my younger brother---I wish we could have seen each other more often, I will miss him---rest in peace Mick
Deepest sympathy to his family from ours
