On October 5, 2025, our lives changed forever. Josiah Jayden Gardner was more than just a name — he was a son, a brother, a friend, and a young king with a future full of promise. At just 17 years old, Josiah had already accomplished so much. He was intelligent, driven, full of life, and had dreams of graduating, going to college, and building a successful future. He was taken from us far too soon, and our family is left grieving a loss that words cannot fully describe.

Today, we are asking for your support — not just to help our family, but to help us seek justice for Josiah. Funds raised will go toward leading tips to catching the prime suspect in Josiah's case, legal support and investigative efforts, advocacy for justice and awareness, memorial efforts to honor Josiah’s legacy, and creating a foundation in his name to help other families and youth.

We will not allow Josiah’s story to be forgotten. We are committed to fighting for truth, accountability, and change. If you cannot donate, please share this fundraiser and keep our family lifted in prayer. Justice for Josiah. Forever 17.
