Thu Mar 27 10:20:00 UTC 2025: **Former Yankee Brett Gardner’s 14-Year-Old Son, Miller, Dies Suddenly**
NEW YORK, NY – The New York Yankees and the baseball world are mourning the loss of Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner. Miller passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday, March 21st, while on vacation with his family. The cause of death has not been released, but a statement from Brett and Jessica Gardner indicates that Miller had fallen ill along with other family members.
“With heavy hearts we are saddened to announce the passing of our youngest son, Miller,” the statement read. “He was 14 years old and has left us far too soon after falling ill along with several other family members while on vacation.”
The Yankees organization released a statement expressing their deep sorrow and offering their unwavering support to the Gardner family. They described Miller as having “a spark in his eyes, an outgoing and feisty personality, and a warm and loving nature.” Yankees manager Aaron Boone echoed the sentiment, stating, “We’re heartbroken… even though Brett’s been gone for a few years, that doesn’t stop [us from feeling like family].”
Miller, who played football and other sports, was remembered for his infectious smile and love of life. A video from last fall shows him scoring a touchdown while wearing his father’s former Yankees number, 11.
Brett Gardner, a 14-year veteran of the Yankees, retired in 2021. He and his family have requested privacy during this difficult time.
