Stephen G. Gardner

In Christian concern and loving care, you were uplifted in prayer by The Mens Prayer Fellowship of Dauphin Way United Methodist Church.

Annette and family, I had the pleasure and honor to fly with Steve many times on the MD80 in New York. Whenever I saw his name on the crewlist I knew it was going to be a great trip no matter how bad the weather or other trying aspects of the tip. Steve was true gentleman who will be missed among the pilots of American.

Annette,

The Mass was a beautiful tribute to Stephen.s life and I really loved hearing you and your sons speak so fondly of him. You have been such a strong lady through this entire difficult time. Now he is watching and smiling down on you and your family from heaven and he will be waiting for you there. Always remember you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The first time i met Steve was in US Airways operations in Charlotte NC We worked with two different companies under the US Airways Express umbrella but we always spoke when we saw each other. I had the privelage of working in NY with Steve and i got to know him even better. Steve was a great guy who loved his family, his job, and being around his coworkers. He will be truly missed. His family is in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

I can believe all of the entries as to "Steve was like a brother" because thats the way I thought of him when we were in High School!!! He was always the sweetest!!!! I will miss him!!!! Rest In Peace Steve!!! And thanks for showing us how to fight!!!

Annette & Family, The service was beautiful and the food was wonderful. It was so great to re-connect with acquaintances from the school system and to see David's friends from Gainesville. It was a blessing to meet the other family members and to be in everyone's presence. Much gratitude and many thanks to St. Luke's Church, Charlie's Mother & Austen's FL MOM

I believe I was the last one to have the pleasure of flying with Steve. We had just finished a fun day up with dinner at the Crown Plaza in Dallas when he got a call telling him that his medical had been revoked.
Steve was a superior pilot and a great guy to work with. My condolances to his family wife and kids, he will be greatly missed.

We flew together many times I am shocked that he passed sadly I didn't relize he was sick and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to him. He will be greatly missed. God bless his soul

Steve was like a brother to me. We spent many days together studying for our airline training exams. We even tossed a few beers back together in celebration of passing our qualifications. He was a devoted family man who constantly talked about his wife and kids. I will miss him greatly!
