Richard Gardner Obituary
Richard lived a full life and was never as happy as when he was on his horse. He loved being on the farm and working the cows, rounding them up on the Terry Ranch and the forest, or even just a hot day in the tractor. He enjoyed roping and loved attending rodeos, especially National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. He and Polly loved going to UW football and basketball games and they were long-time season ticket holders. He was also an avid bowler and he missed when he was no longer able to bowl. Richard lived an incredible life and leaves behind many loved ones, friends, and one heck of a legacy.
Richard was preceded in death by both his parents, his wife Mary Jean, brother Kenneth Gardner, sisters in law Mary and Beverly Gardner, son Terry Gardner, and son-in-law Rodney Paxton. He is survived by a large loving family including brother LeRoy (Glenda) Gardner, sister Ellen (Donald) Strube, daughters; Kathy (Wayne) Tatman, Sandra (Terje) Vangbo, Trudy Paxton, Brenda (Steve) Anderson and daughter-in- law Pam Wiggam. Grandchildren; Shawn (Sarah) Tatman, Todd (Tricia) Tatman, Marty Tatman, Amy (Patrick) Currie, Casey (Coelle) Gardner, Judy (Andrew) Cederholm, Jim (Ashley) Hottell, Ty Anderson, Kayla (Frank) Christensen, Kerby (Troy) Anderson and 19 great grandchildren.
A private family graveside service will be held. Memorials can be made to the Pine Bluffs Ambulance and/or the Pine Bluffs Roping club.
