GORDON R. MACNEVIN

1952 ~ 2019

Mr. Gordon Roderick MacNevin, beloved resident and friend of the Alfred Egan Home in Bow Island, passed away on Sunday September 15, 2019, at the age of 67 years, with caring staff members by his side. Gordon was born on March 2, 1952, in Whitehorse, Yukon. He was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Sylvia MacNevin. Gordon lived in the Michener Center in Red Deer from 1961 until 2003, then moved to Youngstown where he loved to go for coffee, sharing in a good laugh or two. In March of 2011, Gordon moved to Bow Island where he settled into the Alfred Egan Home quite quickly. It was his outgoing sense of humor and laughter that gave him a place in their hearts. Gordon was often found playing tricks on the staff members and giving a quiet chuckle in the process. He was a quiet man who watched everything going on around him, enjoyed sitting in the sunshine where he could usually be found under the sunrays of the skylights. Gordon also loved doing anything he could outside. Some of his most memorable adventures were his outings to Camp LG Barnes and his trip to Nova Scotia, travelling with a friend and staff members, spending days sight seeing and staying close to the ocean. Gordon will be missed by the staff and friends whom he came to know as his family at the Alfred Egan Home. A Celebration of Gordon’s life will be held at the Alfred Egan Home, 939 – 1 Street East, Bow Island, on Friday, September 27, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. with Life Celebrant Gerry Getz officiating. Gordon will be interred with his late mother, Sylvia MacNevin in Queen’s Park Cemetery, Calgary, at a later date.
