Gordon Vernon Lewis
June 28, 1948 - December 18, 2024
The family announces with great sorrow the sudden passing of Gordon Vernon Lewis on December 18, 2024, at his home in Spring Bay, Ontario, at the age of 76 years. Gordon was a loving husband to Darlene Lewis (Campbell), predeceased, for 46 beautiful years.
Born to Leonard and Elsie (Middleton) Lewis (both predeceased) of Spring Bay, Manitoulin Island, on June 28, 1948, Gordon was a loving brother to Mildred (Len Jewell), both predeceased; Audrey, predeceased (Delbert Merrylees); Leah (Jim Rayner), both predeceased; Patricia (Joe Baker), both predeceased; Shirley de Chevigny; Douglas, predeceased (Mary-Alice); Kenneth (Marlene); Garry, predeceased (Shirley); Irwin, predeceased (Mary); Merlin (Christine). He is lovingly remembered by many brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends.
Gordon spent 30 years working for Falconbridge Mine in Sudbury, where his dedication and hard work left a lasting impression on all who knew him. A true pillar of the community, Gordon was an avid volunteer who gave his time selflessly. He was a beloved member of the Agricultural Society and the Snowdusters and always participated in and supported local events.
Gordon's passion for gardening was matched only by his generosity in sharing the bounty of his labor with friends and neighbors. He also found joy and peace in the great outdoors. An avid hunter and fisher, he cherished the time spent in nature, whether it was in pursuit of wild game or casting a line in quiet waters.
Though he will be deeply missed, Gordon’s spirit will forever live on in the community he so loved and served. A graveside service at Grimesthorpe Cemetery will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks memorial donations to be made to the Mindemoya Hospital Auxiliary or the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
