Christopher David "Chris" Gardner II

Chris,

I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Jean, Cris and Ashley - There are no words for me to say that will make you feel better. I am stunned over the death of this young man. I will always remember Chris as "Bubbly" the little tow headed boy that lived in the house next to me. My fondest memories are bubby knocking at my door asking me "miss Penny do you have any cookies" and when he started first grade telling me he had 1000s of girlfriends. I remember him with Buster, is little dog, and the infectious grin he always greeted you with. I am a phone call away, 24 hours a day if needed.

Your forever friend,

I am so sorry Chris is gone. He was such a nice guy. I enjoyed working with him in Charlottesville...even though we worked at different TV stations. I hope your wonderful memories of Chris bring you peace during this difficult time.

My heart breaks at this news. Chris was a great friend and uplifting spirit when I knew him in High School. His creativity and loyalty radiated, his smile and laugh was infectious. I pray for his family, friends, and girlfriend during this difficult time. And I will forever hold his memory in my heart, fondly. Thank you for good memories and for touching this world, Chris.

Gardner Family,
Chris was a great guy who taught me to lighten up a little bit.
I remembering driving to the airport with him on Christmas morning and when he headed off for your vacation to Italy, both times he told me he was simply looking forward to spending time with all of you.

I am sorry for your loss,
Keith McGilvery

The last time I saw Chris was high school graduation. Thank God for Facebook so we were able to keep up with each other every now and then. I was shocked when I heard he had passed. I remember that while we were working on shows at Osbourn that he would always have something funny or sarcastic to say. You'll be missed, Chris.
