STUART DUNAWAY Obituary
Gordon was born December 12, 1958 in Hollandale, Mississippi and made his way home to the Lord on October 26, 2010. Gordon and his wife were members of University Church of Christ in Monroe. Gordon graduated from Neville High School in 1977, and married his high school sweetheart, Cindy, shortly thereafter. In his 51 years, Gordon touched the lives of many with an indiscriminate heart, smiling face and a helping hand. Gordon had immeasurable love for family, friends, and life with his happiest days spent in the beauty of nature found all around him. Gordon's true calling was helping others in times of need, and his generosity knew no bounds. He was always ready to offer shelter, food, a hunting trip or simply a good story filled with laughter. His family and friends will always remember his passion for living, witty intellect, light-hearted attitude and a personality that was larger than life. Gordon will remain in the hearts of his family, friends and those who were fortunate enough to have been touched by his love.
