At 1:20am on Wednesday 17th of January, our family suffered an immeasurable loss. Our much beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother, Brian Gardner sadly passed away, aged 70 years old.

Brian was adored by countless people in and around Daventry. Remembered for his great sense of humour, his generosity, kindness and compassion (especially during his time working for Towers & Sons and Co-op funerals).

He was a larger than life character who had time for anyone and everyone. He has touched people from all walks of life and has helped families and individuals cope through difficult and dark times, as a funeral assistant.

Sports also played a big part of his life and he was a die-hard Daventry town FC supporter and an avid fisherman. This helped him to meet and connect with likeminded individuals; making friends effortlessly with his charm and humour.

Brian meant the world to many old and young and we’d like to honour him with the best possible send off and also to help a charity he cared deeply for in the air ambulance.
