Condolences through www.koprivataylor.com GORDON, Darryl James June 7 1955 - August 31, 2015 It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Darryl James Gordon at the far too young age of 60. Survived by his children Kris and Fiona, his sisters Alex (husband - Peter Langston) and Gail (husband - Cliff Edwards), nieces and nephew, James and Sara Edwards, Faye and Holly Langston, his close friend Louise Zita and her children, plus his friends David, Tim, Eamon, Darcy and the countless others whose lives he touched. Darryl was born in Northern Ireland, first child to William David (Derry) and Margaret Gordon. He spent his childhood in rural Sion Mills (outside Strabane), Co. Tyrone before moving to Holywood, Co. Down, where he completed his primary and secondary education before moving to Belfast to attend Queen's University. He would then pursue career opportunities in Dublin where he met his former wife and mother of his children, Linda Downes. They lived happily in Dublin and welcomed their son in 1983. They emigrated to Canada in 1986 settling in Oakville where they would have their daughter and Darryl pursued a successful marketing career. He was a truly loving and caring father, brother and friend. He loved his children above all else and would often express to his friends and loved ones the pride he had in them. He was an intellectual, well read and wanted to learn more of this world every day, he had a wicked sense of humour and an infallible wit that will be deeply missed. A skillful poker player who would smile you down to the river. He was a light in the world to everyone who knew him, and was deeply loved by his family and will be missed very much by all. Friends and family are invited to visit on Saturday, September 12th at Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street Oakville, from 12:00 p.m. until the time of the Service in the Ward Chapel at 1:00 p.m. There will be a reception following the Service at The Kings Arms, 323 Church Street Oakville.
