Douglas (Doug) P. Gardner, 63, of Bridgton, passed away unexpectedly on September 1, 2023 at his home.

Doug was born in Denver, Colorado.

He was employed in commercial construction as an estimator/ project manager for 35 years. Doug lived in Elizabeth, Colorado for more than 25 years, before retiring to Maine in 2019.

Doug enjoyed spending time with his family, sailing his Hobie
Tandem Kayak, walking, watching sports, researching genealogy, riding motorcycles, and camping. He was an avid reader, math wiz, history buff, and volunteered at a local Maine food bank.

He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Kelly; two daughters, Hallie Gardner-Foltz (Andre) and Kendra Gardner-Wahlstrom (David); five siblings, sister Elaine Noel (Allen), sister Karen Edwards (Mark), brother Mike Gardner (Karin), sister Annette Carmichael (Graham), brother Paul Gardner (Maureen), and several nieces and nephews.

Doug’s ashes will be spread amongst his favorite spots in Maine, Colorado, D.C. and California.

His family will celebrate his life, together, later this year in Colorado.

In lieu of flowers, the Gardner family kindly requests donations be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in his memory.

Arrangements are in the care of the Hall Funeral Home in Casco where condolences and tributes may be shared at www.hallfuneralhome.net.
