Joe was a beloved husband, father, brother, and a dear friend to many. Known for never meeting a stranger, his deepest loves were his family, his friends, and Augusta National. Throughout his life, Joe touched the lives of countless individuals. His many proud achievements included founding Gardner Building Services and Commpark, as well as serving as a gallery guard during the Masters at Augusta National.
He will be deeply missed by his wife, Coleen Gardner; his two sons, Benjamin and Joseph (wife Annie); his siblings, Ann Muennich (husband Jim), Beth Dilworth (husband Mike), Laura Hamilton (husband Dave), Amy Munroe (husband Phil), and James Peter Gardner (wife Beth); and his many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Virginia and James Rollo Gardner.
A memorial service will be held on September 18, 2026, at Alpharetta Methodist Church to celebrate Joe's life and honor his contributions to our world.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in memory of Joe. Joe’s departure leaves a void in our hearts, but his legacy will forever be cherished. To offer your condolences and share cherished memories, please visit www.roswellfuneralhome.com.
