Frankie Orlando Gardner

~Life Reflections~

Mr. Frankie “Junior” Orlando Gardner was born on August 11, 1986 to Franklyn and Connie McQueen-Gardner. He departed this life on Wednesday, December 29, 2021.

He was a loving, caring an always giving person, smart,  AGRREVATING, radical son and brother. Junior had a n infectious smile that lit up any room he was in. Junior enjoyed spending time with his   family whom he held dear to his heart.  Junior loved cracking jokes that would make anybody laugh. He loved to go to all of his aunts    houses to eat all of their cooking and took “PLATES” to go after every visit. Junior was the life of the party. He created bonds with   everyone he would meet.

Junior was educated by the Lexington County Alternative School  System. He acquired his CDL License in 2018 with “The Truck Driver   Institute” in Chester, South Carolina to become a truck driver like his    father. Junior held many other jobs, and touched many people’s life.
