Our amazing, sarcastic, spunky, funny, incredible father, brother, uncle, and friend Kim C. Gardner was tragically taken from us in a traffic accident while exploring the world, he went on to experience his next journey on December 17th, 2021. He was born on February 17th, 1974, to Mack and Lynette Gardner. He spent most of his life in Payson, Utah. He married Tena Shelley (later divorced). She brought with her two daughters, Brittanie and Baylie, together they completed their family with their son, Brevin Mack. To Kim his children and family were his world. They meant everything to him.
Kim had one of the most contagious laughs, and incredible dancing skills; to say he had 2 left feet would discount the other 4 that would randomly appear. He would sing constantly and always off key, but he still would share his talents with everyone he met. He may have had a great voice, but because he could never be serious, we will never know. His sarcasm would keep you laughing for days.
Kim was an adventurous man always looking for his next journey, whether it be traveling the world with rockstars, opening barber shops and bars, or building a self-sustaining homestead for his family. He loved the ocean, swimming, deep sea fishing, and boating. He always had his eyes open looking for excitement!
Kim is survived by his children Brittanie (Shaydon) Johansen, Baylie (Dallas) Jones, and Brevin Mack Gardner; three grandchildren, Olivia, Trenton, and Alexis; sister, Karen Pedockie; brother, Kelly (Dee) Gardner; and many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and numerous friends. He was preceded in death by his father Mack, grandfather Max, grandmothers Erma and Louisa, uncles Floyd and Winston and cousin, Mandi.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 29, 2021, at Walker Funeral Home, 587 South 100 West, Payson, Utah 84651. Visitation for family and friends will be held on Tuesday, December 28, from 6-8 pm and Wednesday morning, from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be at Payson City Cemetery, 400 North 800 East, Payson, Utah 84651.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in the name of Kim’s son, Brevin Gardner (#3548), at Mountain America Credit Union.

December 22, 2021 at 1:46 amRobert and I are going to miss our nephew, Kim. He was a thoughtful, kind person to his parents, brother and sisters. He treated his friends and relatives with respect and always gave a helping hand to anyone in need. His sister, Kamilyn, was not listed in his obituary but I’m sure it was an oversight. Love you always, Uncle Robert and Aunt Erma Measom.

December 22, 2021 at 7:00 pmI have so many wonderful memories and so much love for this amazing nephew of mine. Kim was spunky and always full of mischief and fun. Being with or talking on the phone with Kim always included lots of laughs. I’m so blessed to know and love this sweet, kind guy. I’m certain Mack was there to greet him, and they have been inseparable since. My happy place to go now is thinking about a wonderful reunion between Kim so many loved ones in heaven. I LOVE YOU, KIM!!!
