Gordon William Asmundson

After a courageous battle with cancer, Gordon passed in the comfort of his home, with family at his side. 

Gordon will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Brandice, of 55 years; his three children Tracy (Dave), Conrad (Karen), Jann (Todd) and grandchildren Conor (Randie), Dylan, Sean (Kirsten), Brandon, Emily, Kyle, Hunter, Ari and Eve, as well as his sisters, in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was born into a loving family of 10 and raised in Piney, Manitoba. 

He is survived by his sisters Louise, Winnie, Edna and twin sister Grace (Helmar).  He was predeceased by his beloved parents, Carl and Anna, and his brothers Calvin, Edward and Earl and his sisters, Lillian and Aldis, and precious nieces and nephews.

At the age of 19, Gordon met his beautiful wife at a dance.  For many years they were a delight to watch on the dance floor.  He enjoyed Brandi’s fabulous cooking, living in the country, and spending time with family and friends.

He was employed for 29 years in the Woodlands operation in Pine Falls, Manitoba, where he worked hard to provide for his family.  We were proud of the man he was and the work ethic he had, he in turn, would say his greatest source of pride was the university education and careers his three children achieved.

He was an avid hunter and outdoorsmen, a passion he instilled in his children and grandchildren.  Some of his fondest memories were at the cabin at Donner Lake with his family and dearest friends, Doc and Eric.

Affectionately known as “Spud” and “the Boss” he was a kind man and someone you could count on for a helping hand and a listening ear, whether he knew you for a minute or a decade.  He was a beloved brother, brother-in-law, uncle, honorary dad, coffee buddy and friend to many.  He was the best grandfather and will be dearly missed by his grandchildren who admired, respected and loved him fiercely.  His legacy of love for family and kindness to all will live on through his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

He will be greatly missed but will live forever in our hearts and thoughts.

In keeping with Gordon’s wishes, no service will be held.
