John Lewis Gordon, Jr., 53, passed away on Monday October 10, 2022 at Memorial Hospital after a short illness, surrounded by his family.
He was born in Savannah November 3, 1968 to John Lewis Gordon, Sr. and the late Shirley Marie Myers Gordon.
John is preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Marie Gordon; brother, Jack A. Gordon, Sr.; best friends, Paul Floyd and Mike Lane; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Surviving to cherish his memory are his children, Kyle McMullen, Haleigh Gordon and Jorja Gordon; father, John Lewis Gordon, Sr.; sister, Michelle Murkerson; favorite brother-in-law, Mason Murkerson; sister-in-laws, Chasiti Gordon and Becky Murphy; nephews, Jack A. Gordon, Jr. (Makayla), Robert Pritchard, Montavious Green, Liam Somerton and Ayden Boddie; nieces, Christina Gordon Cribbs (Chris), Ashlee Gordon, Zarianna Gordon, Brooke Gay (Devonte Boddie), Seairra Wakefield (Nate), Masie Murkerson, Marissa Murkerson and Brianna Myers; and special family friend, Kelly Love Cobb.
He was raised to be a hard-working, fun-loving life of the party kind of guy, who knew the value of family, togetherness, and laughter. He had a special bond with Brooke, Seairra, Masie, Marissa, Liam, Mary Ellen Hinely, Kaycee, Koree and Kinslee Kelton, Raymond Richardson and Brandi Bouie.
He strived to be the best at anything he did, whether painting, laying carpet, building carports or landscaping. He especially loved landscaping, his most recent job, working for his dear friend Kevin. He took great pride in all that he did.
When not working, John could often be found fishing in the pond behind his sister’s house with Liam, or getting some wind therapy while riding his motorcycle. He had a fondness for traveling, falling in love with many places that he visited, and living in some of those places, including Florida and Kentucky. His home was always Savannah though.
He was full of life and is now in Heaven with his loved ones. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Visitation will be held Sunday October 16, 2022 from 1-3PM at Baker McCullough Funeral Home Garden City Chapel with a Funeral Service to begin at 3PM in the chapel of the funeral home with Rev. Kevin Kearney officiating.
