Lee Skeen
Gardner
1967 ~ 2010
Lee Skeen Gardner was born Jan. 13, 1967 to Blaine and Carolyn Gardner. He died April 4, 2010 doing something he loved, snowmobiling in the mountains above his home. Lee is much loved and will be dearly missed by those he leaves behind, but is happily reunited in heaven with his wife, Carol Larson Gardner, who he loved with all his heart. Lee lived for his children Amanda Kartchner, Travis Gardner and Luke Kartchner. They were his world and he has been both mom and dad to them the last 10 months since Carol passed away.
Lee is a fixer. He could fix anything from a diesel engine to a killer pot roast. He worked for over 23 years at Jack's Tire and Oil. He had a gift with salt water aquariums. He loved fishing and could tell a great fish story.
Lee is Christ-like, a true friend, and has a heart of gold. He would very literally give you the shirt off his back. Lee is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is an Eagle Scout.
Lee is survived by his parents, his children, his brothers and sisters: Blaine Gardner (Elaine), Paul Gardner (Michelle), Carol Carroll (Roger), Jean Doty (Brent), Ann Fouts (Matt), Val Gardner (Heather), Barbara Baker (Troy) and Mary Hayes (Joe), tons of nieces and nephews and his dogs Sadie, Becca and Autumn.
Heartfelt thanks to Randy Olsen for taking care of Lee till the end.
