The former baseball professional Brett Gardner (41) and his wife Jessica have to cope with the sudden death of her son Miller. He died at the age of just 14 after he was ill on vacation.
Many questions, few answers
The couple announced the sad news on March 23 in a statement that was shared on the X-account of the New York Yankees. It said that the teenager died “peacefully in her sleep” on Friday morning. “He was 14 years old and left us far too early after having suffered on vacation with several other family members,” the parents wrote. “We have so many questions and so few answers.”
They also emphasized: “Miller was a beloved son and brother and we still can’t imagine our life without his contagious smile.” He loved football, baseball, golf, hunting, fishing, his family and friends. “He enjoyed his life to the fullest every day.”
The Gardners expressed their gratitude towards those who offered them “support and encouragement in this difficult time”.
The Yankees published a separate explanation on X, in which they emphasized that their hearts were difficult and the team was “grief fulfilled”: “Words seem insignificant and inadequate when trying to describe such an unimaginable loss.”
For 14 years for the Yankees on the pitch
From 2008 to 2021, Brett Gardner played in 14 seasons for the Yankees and helped them to win in the World Series in 2009. The athlete retired from baseball in 2021. He has been married to his wife Jessica since 2007, the couple has another son. Hunter was born in 2008.
