Father, grandfather, and great grandfather to Christopher, Misti Lynn, Carrie (Glen), Hannah, Christina, Angel, Jessica, Purity, and Logan. He was the son of the late Annette Gardner and Clyde Ward and brother to Lloyd Gardner and Kathryn Williams (Paul).
He was the light in the room and was said to never have met a stranger. He had the ability to make a connection with anyone. He was very passionate about helping others and was known to sacrifice to help those around him in need. He was a “jack of all trades,” and had his hand in so many professions throughout his life. He enjoyed building things, riding his motorcycle, and spending time on the beach. He will be most remembered for his enthusiasm, storytelling, and his ability to bring a smile to your face.
