Gordon Thomas Jr. Penny
Born In: North Sydney, Nova Scotia
Passed in: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Passed on: May 17th, 2017
Gordie passed away peacefully at his home in Edmonton, Alberta on May 17, 2017, following a brief illness.
Born 1967 in North Sydney, he was the son of Beverly Kelly and the late Gordon Penny.
Left to remember him is his mother, Beverly Kelly, Halifax; his loving wife, Melinda and their family, Cody, Brody, Kayla and Rylan; his brother, Rob and his family, Melody, Michael and Christen, as well as a number of uncles, aunts and cousins.
Cremation has taken place in Edmonton. His remains will be returned to Cape Breton at a later date. A private family gathering will take place at that time.
Thank you to everyone who sent condolence messages by phone, Messenger and Facebook. Your fond memories of Gordie will always be remembered.
A Celebration of Life was held in Edmonton and was attended by family and the many friends he made during the time he lived there.
From that celebration came this quote that Gordie would find hilarious and in a way, suits him perfectly… Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather, to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting “What a Ride!”
