On Tuesday, June 1st, family and friends were informed of the sudden passing of Michael "Mike Mike" Gardner. The loss has devastated Mike's family and friends with the pain being felt by those who loved, appreciated, and respected him from Washington to California. Mike was a proud and loving father who cherished his 4 kids, family, and friends. The family is trying to handle the responsibility of giving Mike the homegoing ceremony he deserves while coping with the pain of losing him. The family kindly asks for support in covering the expenses of bringing Mike to Southern California to be put to rest next to his father. The financial support will also assist with covering the cost of transporting the Gardner family to Southern California to celebrate the love and life that was "Mike Mike". 

Donations collected that exceed the cost of the funeral expenses will go to supporting Michael's children and fulfilling his dreams and aspirations for Mike Jr, Montre, Marilyn, and Markell.
