Michael Paul Gardner

Mike was an incredible joy - in so many lives. I am good friends with his Sister, Teri, generating from college years. Therefore, I fell in love with her entire family...her parents, oldest brother Mark, Tina and of course, Mike. Whenever I was around him he was smiling, joking and full of energy. He loved to “go and do”. A piece of my heart is still broken, in honor of Mike and the entire family. Love to you all.

Mike was a wonderful man and a great friend to all. He always greeted you with a loving smile and huge hug. I have many memories of MIke and always enjoyed being around him. My prayers go out to all his family and friends. He had such a great love and devotion to them all.

Buffy, Mike and MaKenzie Ruppe will miss Michael more then words can say. He friended us when we first moved to Charleston from Indiana and taught us the "southern" way. He was a dear friend that will be terribly missed. Our prayers go out to his family

Janice, Jerry & I were sad to hear about your Son Michael. We lift you and your family up in prayers. Kathy called us today to let us know about it.

Mike was such a kind friend to everyone he met. He was so gracious and generous. I have wonderful memories of Mike that I will cherish always. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Mike's family and friends.

I have great memories of Mike at the Kappa Alpha House in Newberry and when I pledged KA. I also use to see him with the Rogers and Lesesne's in Charleston and he always had a bright happy smile. He was a good man and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Mike and the entire Gardner family.
