February 1st, 1934 – July 14th, 2020
Heaven received another Angel on Tuesday, July 14th, 2020. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gord Williams. Born in Manitoba, he died peacefully in his sleep, with Elaine and his little companion Kasey, by his side, at home here in Vernon, after a long courageous battle with cancer.
He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Elaine, his children Terry-Lynn, Darrell (Sherry), Cheryl (Dennis), Karen, his step children Kim (Bob), Debra, Charmayne (Lisle), Cheryl (Jody), Derek (Cora-lee), Kari (Deanna), 21 Grandchildren, 15 Great Grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Gord was predeceased by his parents Charles and Victoria and 3 sisters.
Gord was a competitive water skier and even skied on trick skis at 70 years old on Sugar Lake! He was a long time truck driver who had a passion for horses. He enjoyed team roping with his daughter Cheryl as well as training, cutting and penning. All which brought out the cowboy in him. His horses Mis-T and Turkey and his border collie Thea, were his partners in crime. Gord also enjoyed spending his spare time fishing and golfing. His winter hobby was busy cheering and volunteering for his favorite hockey team, the Vernon Vipers.
There will be a private service held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Society.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Gord Williams July 14th 2020..
Death notice for the town of: Vernon, Province: Colombie britanique
