Gordon Harmon Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home, Inc. - Springfield on Oct. 30, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Gordon Warren Harmon was born January 15, 1935, the fourth child of Opal and Roy Harmon. He was preceded in death by two older brothers, Milo and Dale; an older sister, Marjorie Thorson; two nephews, Wesley and Gene and a niece, Joy Clopine.

He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Marie; a son, Douglas (Lynne) Harmon; two granddaughters, Kristin (Jason) Webber and Erin (Cory) Tapia; three great grandchildren, Athena, Brader and Jackson; a nephew, Mark (Jodi) Harmon; a niece, Francis Harmon and many other close family and friends.

After college, Gordon entered the evangelistic field. He started full-time with H&R Blockas a state manager in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was then transferred to New York and later Virginia while still working as an Assembly of God Pastor. He pastored churches in Dalton, NE, where his son was born, and for many years in Columbus, NE.

Gordon had numerous hobbies, including hunting, fishing, and most of all, camping. He, Marie and Doug traveled all over the country enjoying the beauty of most of the states and national parks. Inspired by his exchange student son, Tomas Matre, he and Marie traveled to Norway where they enjoyed the beauty of the country. They always said they wanted to return.

Gordon loved children, and this was evident not only in his devotion to Doug, but also to his granddaughters, great grandchildren and the many now adults who first met him as young people in the churches he pastored.

Funeral Service will be at 11:00 AM, with Visitation from 10:00 - 11:00 AM, on Friday, November 14, 2025 at Maranatha Village Chapel. Burial with Full Military Honors will be at 1:00 PM in Missouri Veterans Cemetery.

"Gordon loved children, and this was evident not only in his devotion to Doug, but also to his granddaughters, great grandchildren and the many now adults who first met him as young people in the churches he pastored." This was taken from Gordon's obituary. I am one of the young people in the church he pastored in Dalton Nebraska. He and Marie are my favoorite pastors. My entire family remained a close relationship with Gordon and Marie overat least the last 65 years and more. We were all privileged to see him just in July and I'm so thankful for that time. I will miss my pastor but will one day join him in heaven.
