Birth date: Jul 27, 1977 Death date: Apr 18, 2022
Federico Garduño, father, husband, and a best friend to me and to pretty much everyone who met him, died last week in a tragic accident. He was visiting his family in his hometown of Annapolis. My name is Dan, and I met Fed twent Read Obituary
Fed was so effortlessly lovable and funny and as genuine as they come. The Laikowskis love you and take solace in how happy you made him.
Here are some retro photos from Mom and Dad. We miss him so much. He was always the most photogenic
This is just my first photo dump (fed would have chuckled at that). WTF life?! It’s so amazing sometimes, and sometimes it just plain sucks. I’ll keep looking through my archives and post more soon. Mindy, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this was soon after Iggy was born and we got him a G train tee cause we all lived off the G, and cause Garduño, duh.
June and Gil, with shock and deepest sadness we read of Feds passing! Our hearts are with you as you face the emptiness of his loss, knowing how much joy he brought to you and yours. May the best of memories be treasured, and sustain you at this tragic time, and always! With love and sympathy, Sue and Bruce
Thank you dearly to everyone who has posted. Seriously - I love these - especially the retro shots. I found some recents videos to share.
I’ve always looked forward to seeing Fed. I first met he and Mindy right before moving to NYC at Doug and Peter’s Christmas party, then continued to see him through quarantine through a virtual trivia group we had. He and Mindy always had the best team names (‘You down with PPE?’, ‘Contagion & Juice’, ‘Droplet Like it’s Hot’, ‘Smells Like Quarantine Spirit’). Of course, he and Mindy would win 90% of the time. Then we all started hanging out at Doug and Peter’s patio in Brooklyn - Fed and Mindy would show up right on time with their bikes ready to get down with the few hours they had with Iggy’s babysitter. Most of all, I will always love and cherish how wonderful of friends they were to myself and Eli when Erika passed. They would regularly drop in and bring sweet gifts, cook dinner for us (the Impossible sheet pan nachos were AMAZING), and bring wine, lots of wine. He always made us feel loved, included, and effortlessly at ease with his lightness and sense of humor. I am so heartbroken by this loss, and I send my deepest condolences to Mindy, Iggy, and his family. I will always miss him.
Taking a moment to study the sea life during a gorgeous day at the Jersey Shore with Mindy, Fed & Iggy.
Here’s us enjoying one of Fed’s amazing dinners and pics of him making the kids laugh, as usual. I really appreciated how Fed used Halloween as a time to experiment with eyeliner. Grateful for all the time we spent together, especially these past few years. Love you Mindy & Iggy. 💗
Hey Fed, its Ron George. We hadn't talked in what seems in a life time, but there isn't a beginning of the summer that doesn't go by that I don't remember going to our first Grateful Dead show together at RFK. We always talked music and we always laughed.
May God give peace and look after your wife and little guy,
And please say hello to Mikey for us.
