Alexander B. Gordon, affectionately known to family and friends a "fabulous", was born on March 2, 1969 in St. Thomas, Jamaica, to parents Gloria Gordon and Everline Gordon. He attended Morant Bay Primary School in St. Thomas, Jamaica.
Growing up in Jamaica, Fabulous enjoyed playing soccer, listening to music, DJ-ing, and spending time with family and friends. In 1985, as a teenager, Fabulous migrated to the United States, where he attended Evans High School in Orlando, Florida.
Fabulous was more than just one thing. He was a man of many talents and even more heart. As a DJ, he didn't just play music - he moved people. He had a gift for lifting spirits and bringing people together through rhythm and sound.
Fabulous was also a savvy entrepreneur, the proud owner of a clothing store that became more than just a place to shop.
Above all else, he was a father. Five beautiful children carry his legacy forward. He loved his children with his whole being.
Jamaican to the core, Fabulous was a man of culture, pride, and hustle. He brought island flavor everywhere he went - with that unmistakable accent, his quick wit, and a laugh that could make your day better in an instant. He lived life boldly, hustled hard, and loved deeply.
Fabulous was preceded in death by his sister, Donna Gordon, and brother, Chris Gordon.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving children: Jessica (Kemar), Paul "Jr", Sidney (Candisha), Alexandra, and Nandi Pierce; his proud parents, Everline and Gloria; siblings: Tyrone, Everton "Buntin", Yvonne, Trevor, Kenneth "Sweet Pea", and Jason; 8 Grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other loving relatives and friends.
