Gordon Pozer

GORDON POZER 1956-2022 It is with deep sadness that we share the news that our beloved Father, Brother, Grandfather and Uncle passed away, surrounded by love, at the Abbotsford Cancer Care Center on Tuesday, May 24th in his 65th year. Gordon was the son of the late Syd and Betty Pozer, long-time residents of Prince George, loving Father of Shaun, Shalan, Cailyn and Chase, proud Grandfather to Lily, Charlie, Paisley, Dylan and Sterling, awesome Brother to Betty-Jean (Ray, Kate) Robin, Bruce (Diana, Rob, Lora) and his predeceased Sister LeeAnn (Mitch). Gord was born in Prince George and was raised at the family home on the Nechako River. In his high school years he attended St Johns Boys School at Stony Plain, Alberta. Through the philosophy of endurance and challenge and learning the three virtues of perseverance, courage and faith, Gord adopted the foundation "To go on without fear with the strength that comes from God" . It was there he mastered dogsledding, outdoor endurance and extreme canoeing skills, passions he held for a lifetime. In his early years Gord had diverse work and was known for his skills in the logging industry and for a while, tried his hand at homesteading in the North. Eventually he settled in Hinton, Alberta where he commenced a 30 year career in the pulp and paper industry. He and his wife raised their children in the nearby hamlet of Brule where he lived until his passing. His natural Rocky Mountain home was his hard working vision to shape a self- sustainable environment for many to share and prosper from. Above all, his greatest joy was having Lily, Charlie and Paisley out for bonfires, sleepovers, fireworks, garden projects and hikes to check Grandpa's game cameras. Rest well Gord. You have earned the highest place in Heaven.
