Fleming, Gordon (Grampa Fix-it)
February 14, 1937 - September 21 2023
On the afternoon of September 21, 2023, Gordon passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton. Gordon lived a long and full life and was blessed with many friends and family that loved him.
He was predeceased by his parents, Rosalia and George, eldest daughter Sandra and grandson Matthew. Gordon will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 64 years Mary; daughters Shirley (Wes), Sylvia, Sharon (Curtis), Charlene and son Randy; 18 grandchildren; 8 great grandchildren and brothers Ken (Uti), and Lawrence; many nieces and nephews and close friends.
He had a passion for collecting stamps and coins, building puzzles, and was actively involved in the community. He was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta in the community of Beverly and later attended school at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, receiving Journeyman, Red Seal certification in Sheet Metal Fabrication. His career spanned 43 years, working throughout Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan before retiring from the Heating and Ventilation trade. During his career, he was involved in many aspects of the construction industry, including drafting plans, purchasing, construction and final inspections.
Gordon was known by family, friends, and neighbours as someone that was willing and able to assist with almost any project. He was affectionately known as Grampa fix-it. He enjoyed the challenge of a problem, as it allowed him to put his skills to work mapping out a solution, then making it come to reality. His happy place was definitely in his workshop creating everlasting memories, such as furniture, trailers, tents, cabinets, display cases, and home renovations. Gordon always had to have paper or a napkin and a pencil on hand, just in case the need to draw out a plan came over him.
