Chad Michael Kelso Gardner 1973 ~ 2005

Our beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend left this earthly existence on Tuesday, February 8th, 2005. Chad died of injuries sustained in an automobile accident in Irving, Texas. Born August 28th, 1973, Chad was never at a loss for energy or for something to say.

He graduated with the class of 1991 from St. Joseph High School in Ogden, and married Meggan Dupuis on July 7th, 1996. Chad's short span of years was packed full of vibrant living and infused with passion. All who knew him appreciated his generosity, compassion, infectious laughter and beautiful smile. He was devoted to his wife and children, and enjoyed sharing his interests in cooking, music, movies, and literature with them. Chad was a talented musician, and loved to play the blues on his saxophone, harmonica and piano. One of his favorite activities was to dance in the kitchen with Meggan and the kids. Chad worked tirelessly to ensure the happiness and well-being of his family, and was employed in various sales and computer-related fields including his most recent position with Quickcare in Dallas, Texas.
