[HIWILLE]

Jermaine Gardner persume drowned at Rock quarry in Bettendorf. This will be a very sad if true . Great kid. Great talent only a junior. I said a few months ago He’s the fastest point guard In the state of Iowa. Sad. Sad deal.

****. Thinking back at the amount of stupid stuff we'd do while swimming at rock quarries as a kid makes me wonder how no one died or got seriously injured

I believe he was fishing and fell out of the boat

No that’s not what happened. First let me correct his first name it’s Jermilyn. What happen and what took place was horrifying for those involved and witnessed. Until I’m 99 percent sure I’ll hold back on what I know, it’s terrible for those involved I can tell you that.

Davenport West's Gardner remembered by teammates, coaches as 'always smiling'

He stood 5-foot-9, but that didn't matter.

Witnessing such a thing is unquestionably traumatic, as I'm sure there were those who likely tried to help, etc. to no avail. I have no idea what details would be that your referring to, but the impact on the others is huge.
