We expect Gordon to be met on the other side by his parents Chloe and Bob, brothers Rex, Boyd, Sam and Mark, sister Yvonne, son Kenneth and grandson Christopher.
Gordon was born in Cardston, Alberta, and was the middle of 12 children. As the story goes, his mother Chloe made Christmas supper, then promptly went to the hospital and delivered Gordon that evening. From that day on he thought he was sooo special because on his birthday EVERYONE got a present! At that time the family was living in Leavitt, AB. In his younger years Gordon was known to play on any sports team that would have him, although baseball and basketball were his favourite. Gordon worked at the local grocery store as a bag boy, where he met Sylvia Marsh. The couple were married in the Cardston Alberta Temple in 1966.
Gordon attended Brandon University achieving a Bachelor of Teaching, going on to the University of Calgary where he earned a Bachelor of Education. His formal education culminated with a Masters in Native Studies from the University of Lethbridge. Arctic College offered Gordon a teaching position at the Thebacha campus in the Teacher Education Program in Fort Smith, NWT in 1977. Gordon and Sylvia moved their family to the North where they lived and raised their family.
Upon retiring from teaching, Gordon moved south to Calgary, Alberta, where he lived out his remaining years. Gordon loved the Lord and strived to live a gospel centered life.
