Gordon leaves a legacy of strength, craftsmanship, and integrity, with a lifetime of creating lasting foundations.
He grew up on the family wheat farm in Waterville, Washington, where he developed a strong work ethic, was a star athlete, and graduated from Waterville High School in 1957. After proudly serving his country in the Army from 1958 to 1964, he went on to graduate from the University of Puget Sound in 1965, where he was honored with the distinction of being named to 'Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities'.
As a custom home builder from 1974 to 2005 in Spokane Washington, Gordon's work was marked by meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence. His homes stand as a testament to his skill and integrity.
Known for his generosity, Gordon's heart was always full of love for others, and he gave selflessly to those around him. He continued to share his love until his heart could give no more.
After retiring to Green Valley, Arizona, Gordon and his wife, Carol, enjoyed traveling, gardening, and socializing with close friends.
Gordon is survived by his beloved wife, Carol; his children, Wendy Seitz (AJ) and Rob Besel (Linda); his grandchildren, Nickolas, Craig, Pamela, and Katie; his great-grandchildren; and his siblings, Pam Goodrich (Bill) and Dian Colasurdo. He is also survived by close friends and extended family.
