In Loving Memory of Gordon “Gordo” Reeves.
With heavy hearts but grateful spirits, we say goodbye to our father, Gordon Henry Reeves-known fondly by most as “Gordo”. He passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 20, 2025, in the caring hands of the Renfrew Hospital Palliative Care Unit.
Born January 31, 1941, Gordo was a man who lived big – with laughter that filled a room, a twinkle in his eye and a heart that never stopped giving. Whether you knew him for five minutes or fifty years, chances are you were treated to one of the classic one-liners or wrapped in one of his warm, genuine bear hugs. Gordo was many things: a devoted husband, a proud father and grandfather, a loyal friend and a pillar of his community. He found joy in giving back-serving through the seniors’ club, the Black Hats, the Milford Bay Fire Department, recreation committees and anywhere else a helping hand was needed. If something needed doing, Gordo was your guy, usually with a chuckle and “Well, let’s get to it then!”. Though we are heartbroken, we also find peace in knowing that Gordo is now reunited with our beloved mom, Jan Reeves-his partner in crime, dance and everything in between. Since suffering a stroke following COVID, Dad fought hard with the same spirit he brought to everything in life. Now he rests-finally free, finally at peace.
A celebration of Life will be held on June 22, 2025 at the Milford Bay Community Centre from 2-4pm for both Jan and Gordon Reeves. For now we hold him close in our hearts and smile knowing how lucky we were to call him ours. We love you Dad. And we always will.
