Gordon Frank Sedivy was born on March 20, 1942, in Spencer, Nebraska, to Frank and Ella (Dahlberg) Sedivy. He began attending a Country School near his home. After his father passed away, Gordon moved with his mother to Wayne, Nebraska, where his sister, Luella, was attending College. He attended and graduated high school in Wayne.
He met Carol Burchell when he drove her and some of her friends to church one Sunday. They were married on July 25, 1964, at Woodlake, Nebraska. They lived in Wayne, Gretna, Bellevue, and Randolph and started their family while Gordon worked for local farmers and businesses. In 1968, the family returned to Gordon's family homestead, where they started farming and ranching. He very much enjoyed all aspects of being a farmer. He was a true tinkerer, always building and improving things around the place. He helped with designing and building his family home. Gordon never truly retired, he was still checking cattle and the fences in his trusty Gator.
Gordon enjoyed all things outside, whether it be working on his farm, sitting in the sun, or helping with the garden. When forced inside he enjoyed watching westerns. He was a member of the Rosedale Covenant Church, then later, the Immanuel Lutheran Church. He was also a member of the Lions Club.
Gordon is survived by his three children, Brian (Lori) Sedivy of Spencer, Nebraska, David (Jodi) Sedivy of Lead, South Dakota, Pam (Bill) Koupal of Mitchell, South Dakota; seven grandchildren, Jennifer (Andy) Sedivy, Chad (Kenna) Sedivy, Amanda (Chad) Beeson, Allison (Clint) Swieter, Tyler (Carly) Sedivy, Daniel (Kortney) Koupal, Becca Koupal; eight great grandchildren, Ellie, Owen, Mia, Amber, Brandon, Cayden, Elizabeth, and Oaklee; a brother-in- law, Bill (Kathy) Burchell; one nephew and two nieces, Tom Burchell, Christy Killian, and Emily Johnson.
