Gordon Padgett

1950 - 2022

GORDON GORDY GOLDSBERRY PADGETT Gordon "Gordy Goldsberry" Padgett at the request of his sisters, their baby brother Gordon was finally born on November 18th 1950. At his request he was allowed to slip away on December 6th 2022 and therefore was able to rejoin his many friends, family members and beloved four legged companions who had gone on ahead and were waiting for him. He had missed them terribly for oh so long, especially his Mom and big sister Nancy. His folks were Bill and Virginia Padgett and he was a little brother to Bobby, Alan, Nancy and Barbara. He was born at Enloe Hospital, graduated from Chico High School in 1968 and eventually settled in to a thirty+ year career at the Chico Post Office. He was a car enthusiast, always owned a number of them, and enjoyed telling of his "exploit's" of "drag racing" on the Esplanade in his youth. Also, what a thrill for him many years later to still be recognized as being the "slot" car king. He was the sweetest, funniest, most generous little brother and friend. He is survived by brother Bobby of Roseville, and sister Barb Gore of Durham. Also six nieces, a nephew, and wonderful and faithful friends Barbara and Dennis Walker and John Berry. Gordy loved well and was well loved. A get together to celebrate his life will be planned in the new year.
