Obituary of Gordon Jeffery Mansholt

Entered into rest on the evening of Sunday, February 16, 2025 at the age of 55. Gordon will be deeply missed by his longtime companion Terri Lynn, their daughter Victoria and her brother Connor. Gordon was the beloved son of Lillian and the late Gerhard. He was predeceased by his brother Garry and his nephew Joey. He is survived by his siblings: Greg (Teresa), Grant, Carolyn (Harry predeceased) and Terry (Andrew). He will be fondly remembered by his sister-in-law Janice, his nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends.

He was a lifelong resident of Cannington and forged many deep and enduring friendships, both near and far. He was very intelligent and highly skilled in many trades such as: construction, plumbing, mechanics, electrical and so on. He was a true master of the term “jack-of-all-trades”. His expertise led him to assist many of his friends or family members in a time of need, with a construction or repair project, no matter the time of day. The results of the many tasks he completed for so many people will live on, and it will serve as a reminder of his legacy. He will be deeply missed.
