Avery, I send my sincerest condolences and my heart goes out to you and your family. I can't imagine the shock and grief that you are facing, but I do know that you are strong and though it will take time, you will get through this. While I did not know your father, I do know that children are the product of their parents. The Avery I have known is not only incredibly intelligent, hardworking, and determined, she is kind, caring, and compassionate. I know your heart is broken, but always remember that your father will always be there for you and was and always will be proud of the woman you have become. Hang in there chickadee and if you need anything I am just a call away. Love, Jenn xoxo

I was a colleague of Marc's at RBC for the past 12 years. He was a very positive, friendly, worldly man. I never heard Marc make a negative comment about anyone or anything. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gardner family. Anyone who knew Marc knew that his family was his greatest source of love and happiness.

I would like to first announce my sincere condolences to the Gardner family. I have had the opportunity to know the family for about 15 years. I first met Mr. Gardner back when his daughter, Avery, first transfered to Long Branch High School. I coached Avery and Raliegh in Basketball during HS and Mr. Gardner was always supportive of not only his children but the team, too. He managed to show up to every game no matter where it was located. In addition, he always encouraged the girls and the coaches. Whenever we needed parental support, Mr. Gardner was the first to step up and offer his support. I know how close he was to his children and that is something I will always remember about him. He would often call me after tough basketball games and encourage me to stay committed because the team was growing and getting better. I am saddened by this lost...it is a lost for All!
