Kevin Dean Gordon

May 22, 1970 - November 17, 2023

Kevin Dean Gordon, 53, of Salem, Virginia, went to be with the Lord on Friday, November 17, 2023. Born in Roanoke, Va., on May 22, 1970, to the late Dallas Lee Gordon and Patty Cannaday Gordon, he is also preceded in death by his good friend, Jeff Huddleston.

Kevin was never one to sit still; he was always tinkering around the house and fixing things. His garage was his man-cave, where he shared good times with friend and family and solved all the world's problems. Kevin was a known grillmaster and loved hosting cookouts for friends and family. His yard was immaculate, as was his lawnmower, and he took great pride in mowing the perfect lawn stripes. Leaves changing color means one thing – FOOTBALL – and Kevin was a die-hard Steelers fan! Always a Spartan, he loved Friday nights under the lights watching Salem High School football games. Above all, he adored his family, especially his precious grandbabies.

Those left to cherish his memory are his mother, Patty Cannaday Gordon; wife, Julie Ashman; sons, Zack (Grace) Gordon and Hunter Gordon; step-sons, David Ashman and Christian Adkins; grandchildren, Kolbie and Kalani Gordon; brothers, Randy (Laurie) Gordon and Derek (Sheila) Gordon; nieces, Maria Gordon and Jessica Simmons; nephew, Josh Simmons, as well as many great friends.

The family will welcome friends for a time of visitation on Friday, November 24, 2023, in the sanctuary of New Covenant Christian Church, Roanoke, from 2 to 4 p.m., with funeral services to begin at 4 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to New Covenant Christian Church, 4807 Cove Road, Roanoke, Va. 24017. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at
