I Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines

I am looking for information about the company my uncle served in during the Battle for Okinawa. He served in I Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines. He was only with the unit for about a week before he was KIA. He arrived on 2 June and was killed on 11 Jun. His name was Stephen Junior Gardner and some people called him "Shorty." He was a transport truck driver. I know very little about the circumstances of his death, other than he was killed by a sniper. I would appreciate any information from anyone in the unit during this time period, whether you knew my uncle or not. I have a photo of him with a buddy that I can send to anyone who responds. Thanks.
