Southaven, MS
Gordon Alfred Holland, 89, of Southaven, Mississippi, passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 19, 2019, in his home surrounded by loved ones.

Gordon Alfred Holland was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. He was a graduate of the University of Toronto. He was a retired electrical engineer from Dover Elevators after being with them for 38 years. He was a multi-skilled craftsman. He and his wife were big on traveling. They explored 60 plus countries around the world. He adored his dog Maxie and spoiled her rotten. Although Gordon enjoyed many things in life and had accomplished many successes, nothing made him more proud than his daughters. He loved his family more than anything in the world and will be truly missed.
