Gordon was born on September 27, 1934 in St. Vital (Winnipeg) where he spent his younger years and raised his children.

He trained as a member of the PPCLI’s and the Fort Gary Horse. He worked for various jobs until he started working for Goodyear Tire, where he began his career in tires. He spent 10 years as a Salesman and won many awards as tops sales associate.

 He moved to Stonewall in 1970 when he started his own business (Stonewall Tire 1971 Ltd), which he owned for 42 years and made countless friends along the way. Through the years he was involved in many charities such as Christmas Cheer Board, in addition to donating goods and books to many FLY IN northern communities.

 He was one of the original members of the Lion’s Club. Gordon loved to travel; He also loved dancing, as well as camping, hunting, and fishing. He was a very proud Metis who lived life to the fullest. He will be fondly remembered by many.

We want to thank the Doctors & staff at Stonewall Hospital, the nurses, and homecare staff, as well as Dr. Graham, who took such loving care of Gordon during his final journey. Your kindness and support are much appreciated. Also thank you to Ken Loehmer for your guidance and excellent services.

As per Gordon’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private service will take place at a later date.
