    Mr. Gordon, 67, of Oakdale, entered eternal rest on Sunday, April 23, 2017 with his loving family by his side.

    He was preceded in death by his parents, Rhodolph and Mabel Young Gordon; his brother, Rudolph “Boots” Gordon and his sister Patsy Ruth Gordon.

    Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include his loving wife of forty four years, Loree Holladay Gordon, of Oakdale; three children, Cory and his wife, Andrea McClung Gordon, of Oakdale, Kerry and her husband, Cliff Brumback, of Westlake and Casey and his fiance’ Tamara Monceaux, of Oakdale and seven grandchildren, Cade and Haidee Gordon, of Benton, Breanna Beniot, of Westlake, Tyler Brumback, of Lake Charles, Alex and his wife, Erika, of Lake Charles, Trevor Thompson, of Franklin and Brooklyn Gordon, of Fairview.

    The family will receive friends in the Chapel of Rush Funeral Home, Oakdale on Wednesday, April 26, 2017 from 1:00 p.m. until time of service.
