Gordon Blaine Decker Jr.

I lost 2 brothers in a span of 4 months....Marty 65 and now Gordie 60..... how can that happen? They were taken way too soon! I am completely heartbroken ....May they both RIP.....

Played several years of Summer rec Pony league baseball for Mary A Wilson with Goob and his brother Marty. He had a gold glove that caught everything and loved to joke around.

So sorry for this loss. Gordon was a friend I rode to DBC with after high school. May God comfort your family during this time.

What a sensational man he must have been. I never knew him but my family have always supported the military. My heart goes out to the folks who are grieving. Remember that he lived a life full of what he wanted to do. God bless all y'all.

We were innocent 6th graders at Mary A Wilson school. "Goober" was my sweetheart that year. I remember us playing Spin the Bottle at a friend's birthday party, and riding the little train around Kennywood Park on our class field trip and sitting beside him, holding hands shyly. I'll always remember the one song that was playing on the speakers, Silly Love Songs, by Paul McCartney. Goober was singing along, we both were. Haha Such sweet and innocent memories. Goober was always a fun, kind and...

So many fond memories from from high school and beyond. I called him Goobs, a great friend I admired and shared many experiences and laughs together. Watching our favorite George Carlin on TV, laughing till it hurt, and the many games of chess we played. Remembering the dream buddy, 25 cent drafts at the Limelight Lounge and the idea popped up to join the Air Force together under the buddy system lol so we did. Get out of Punxsy and see the world. I enjoyed our visit at my home in Tijeras NM....

The fabric of every life lived, woven into a tapestry. Each thread represents the relationships and memories we create. Goober, your tapestry completed, magnificent! Well done sir, well done! Thank you and respect &

I never called Gordon by his given name, never! He was Goober! His smile, laugh, and sense of humor were so magnetic as all of us East End kids grew up together through Mary A Wilson, Junior High, then High School. Goober and I both took Spanish all 4 years. I hope he knew I became a Spanish teacher! Thank you for your Service Goob! ¡Gracias por las risas y por ser un amigo tan especial! Jim

I went to kindergarten class with a boy name, Gordon Decker, a.k.a "Goober" I tried to make him laugh by standing on my chair and making a face at him when Mrs. Shick, our kindergarten teacher spotted me, she made me stand in the corner.....
