It is with profound sadness that the family of Gordon Lloyd Vivian announce his passing on March 1st, 2023 at the age of 83.
Predeceased by his parents Stanley and Blanche Vivian; sister Lorraine Stanley; son-in-law John Brazill; and brother-in-law Charles Squires.
Gord leaves many fond, funny and now very cherished memories to his wife of 58 years, Patricia. His daughter Sherry (Bruce Tilley); two grandchildren Donovan Vivian-Parsons, and Carmen Vivian-Brazill (Joey Wagner). He also leaves to mourn his only brother Jim Vivian (Alice), sisters Christine Sooley (Howard), Bonnie Vivian Whittle (Woodrow); and sister-in-law Faith Squires. Gord will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and their families, and many more friends and acquaintances.
Gord was born in Hearts Delight-Islington, Trinity Bay. He moved to St. John’s as a young teenager where he attended high school, then onto college, where he got his trade as a Master Plumber. He continued in that trade until he finally hung up his pipe wrench in 2010, but he was still known to install a hot water boiler or thaw frozen pipes for someone who asked. even after retiring, “Mr. Vivian”, “Gord”, “Dad”, “Pop”, “Uncle Gord” was often called upon to either fix a problem, or to lend the toll – which he ALWAYS had – for the repair. He was an enormous wealth of advice to those attempting tasks they were unsure of, and he became a valued mentor to the lucky few close to him. The knowledge he has passed on will be treasured even more.
In his younger years, Gord took a lot of enjoyment in woodworking. He liked trouting and ice fishing. He loved classic cars and could name the year and model of most any car by just a glance. Gord and his wife Patricia square-danced with the Avalon Stompers well into their 50s and 60s. He loved a good feed of pea soup with salt meat and dumplings, and wouldn’t turn down a gift of moose, turr, rabbit, or codfish.
When Gord was just 42 years old, he suffered a massive heart attack and was told he would not live to see the next day. Well, he lived a fulfilling 41 years after that, during which he battled and beat many more health issues thrown at him, proving cats are not the only ones with 9 lives. He was strong, resilient, and unassuming.
Cremation has taken place. The family will receive visitors at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, on Monday, March 6 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service will be held from the Carnell Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, March 7 at 2 p.m.
