Celebrating the Life of BellaRose Kristyana Gardner
July 17, 2013 – September 9, 2025
On September 9th, 2025, Heaven opened its gates and welcomed home one of its brightest lights. BellaRose Kristyana Gardner of Ocala, Florida, was just 12 years old, but her spirit carried the kind of beauty that leaves a permanent mark on the world.
Born in Ocala on July 17, 2013, to Steven and Jennifer Gardner, Bella was a radiant soul from the very beginning. She is survived by her loving parents, her brother Ashton, and her sister Hailey, each of whom carries her memory like a melody that will never fade.
Bella was saved and loved Jesus. But more than that, she wanted you to love Him too. Her faith wasn’t just personal, it was generous, gentle, and full of grace.
She adored the beach, cheered with passion, baked with joy, and swam like she belonged in the waves. The ocean was her happy place, and she once told her mom to always look for her there, to listen for her in the rhythm of the waves. Bella was a wild wave, full of energy and grace, impossible to predict and impossible to stop. She crashed into life with laughter, love, and a spirit that refused to be tamed.
Her days were filled with glitter, giggles, and the kind of warmth that made everyone feel at home. Whether she was perfecting a cheer routine, whipping up a cakes, or dreaming of becoming a makeup influencer, Bella lived with intention and sparkle. She loved deeply, played freely, and gave generously, her heart always leading the way.
She brought immeasurable joy and light into the lives of everyone who knew her. Her radiant smile reflected the beautiful heart behind it, a heart that loved fiercely and lived fully.
Bella was preceded in Heaven by her Pap John Torino and her Papa Mike Jordan, who now hold her close in eternal love.
A celebration of Bella’s life will be held at Central Baptist Church of Ocala on September 20th at 11:00 AM. All who knew her, loved her, or were touched by her story are welcome to join in honoring the legacy of a girl who truly shined.
Bella didn’t just live. She loved. And that love will echo in our hearts forever.
