We are so sorry for your loss. Bro Gardner was a great inspiration to us. He always had a smile and something good to say. He loved The Lord with all his heart! And now he is with the Lord! You all are dear to us and hold a special place in our hearts. Speaking through experience, You don't have to be strong for anyone. Don't hold back, grieve in your own way. It's okay to grieve. Our prayers are with you all that God will give you comfort and peace. We would have been there for you all if were possible. God bless and we love you all.Sincerely,John & Melissa Jones
Gardner Family, You are always in our hearts and prayers. Our deepest sympathies go out to you all. We love you.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We wish we could be there with you today and tomorrow.Richard and Nancy Gardner
Prayers to all of the family, Jesse was a good friend to everyone. He will be missed. The Nordgren Family
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:13-18 NIV)Mr. Jesse gave me a chance early on and he and I became good friends. From the conversations about gardening to the conversations about lubricants, we had a lot in common. He was a great example of what a real man is and is supposed to be and I had nothing but respect for him. His sons carry on this legacy as he has done a fine job of passing on his values and work ethic to them. Mr. Jesse was one of my favorite people in this world. He will be missed but will not be forgotten. Dan The Grease Man Rinderle
I worked for Mr. Jesse and Jay for over a year, and Mr. Jesse taught me so much about mechanic work and even more about life. Mr. Jesse was filled with kindness, love, compassion, and faith. I will never forget him, and will always love him. I know right now he is in Heaven, walking side by side with our Lord and Savior. My heart goes out to his family, and I hope his family will find peace. I love you, Mr. Jesse.
Jesse was a great man that taught me a lot about machinery, but even more about life. He will be missed. My deepest heart felt condolences to all that will miss him.
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO MISS RUTHIE AND HER FAMILY. MR. JESSE WAS ALWAYS SO SWEET TO ME IN THE 13 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING AND WORKING WITH HIM.
Our deepest sympathy to your family. We will always remember Mr. Jesse and the time we were able to spend with you and the family over the years.
We love this family and man. He was definitely a man of God. He was such an inspiration to many. Bro. Jesse was my first pastor, and he thought my name was Pandora (instead of Glendora. At first I did not realize he was calling me that, but, I figured it out. He laughed when I told him that was not my name like "Pandora's Box." He helped raise money to send me and many others to church camp, which changed my life forever. Our families were very close and this family was always so good to my mom. He was a pastor for many years & now he is living out the dream of the place he taught all of us about. "When we see Him... we shall be like Him." Prayers & strength going up to one of my favorite families. love you all.
