Miller was more than just Brett Gardner’s son—he was a beloved brother, a cherished friend, and a young man full of life. He had a passion for sports, particularly football, baseball, and golf.

Those who knew him described him as having an infectious smile and a zest for life that made him truly special.
The Yankees organization also released a heartfelt statement, expressing their deep sorrow over Miller's passing. "Our hearts are heavy, and the Yankees family is filled with grief after learning of the passing of Miller Gardner. Words feel insignificant in trying to describe such an unimaginable loss. We grieve with Brett, Jessica, Hunter, and their community of family and friends in mourning the loss of Miller. He had a spark in his eyes, an outgoing and feisty personality, and a warm and loving nature."
Brett Gardner, known for his grit, leadership, and 14-year career with the Yankees, was an integral part of the team’s last World Series championship in 2009. A fan favorite, he retired after the 2021 season, leaving behind a legacy of dedication and passion for the game. But beyond baseball, he was a devoted father, and his family was always his top priority. This devastating loss is one no parent should ever have to endure.
The Gardners have expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support and condolences they have received during this difficult time. They have also asked for privacy as they navigate their grief.
As the sports world mourns alongside them, one thing is certain: Miller Gardner’s legacy will live on through the love and memories he shared with those closest to him. Rest in peace, Miller.
