It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Raymond Nelson Gardner of Petawawa, Ontario on July 9th 2024, in his 74th year at the Pembroke Regional Hospital. Ray was the youngest son of Eugene and Lodevine Gardner. He leaves behind his one true love of 48 years, Diane Gardner (nee Chaput), his son James Gardner (Jennifer) of Petawawa and his daughter Jodie Malone (Chris) of Pembroke and his three beautiful grandchildren: Jadyn, Colton and Landon. Brother of Donald Gardner, Serina Reckzin and the late Arnold Gardner. He will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews.
