Miller Gardner, Son Of Former Yankees Outfielder Brett Gardner, Dies At 14

Miller Gardner, the son of former New York Yankee Outfielder Brett Gardner, has died at 14, according to a statement by Brett and his wife Jessica.

“With heavy hearts, we are saddened to announce the passing of our youngest son, Miller. He was 14 years old and left us far too soon after falling ill along with several other family members while on vacation.

“We have so many questions and so few answers at this point, but we do know that he passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Friday, March 21st,” Brett and Jessica said in a statement released by the Yankees.

“Miller was a beloved son and brother, and we cannot yet comprehend our life without his infectious smile. He loved football, baseball, golf, hunting, fishing, his family, and his friends. He lived life to the fullest every single day.”

It is a hard pill to swallow for the Gardners, as it’s not easy for any parent to bury a child. Miller was a vibrant young child who wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. He even wore his father’s shirt, number 1,1, while playing football for a South Carolina school.

Brett had spent his professional career in the big leagues with the Yankees, where he played for 14 seasons.

“Words feel insignificant and insufficient in trying to describe such an unimaginable loss. It wasn’t just Brett who literally grew up in this organization for more than 17 years — so did his wife, Jessica, and their two boys, Hunter and Miller,” the Yankees said in a statement, comforting their legend.

We grieve with Brett, Jessica, Hunter, and their community of family and friends in mourning the loss of Miller, who had a spark in his eyes, an outgoing and feisty personality, and a warm and loving nature. Our love for the Gardner family is unconditional and absolute, and we will offer our enduring support while understanding their desire for privacy at this time. May Miller rest in peace.”
