Gordon was predeceased by his parents Clifford and Florence Carver, his brothers Warren, Dennis and Barry Carver, and his grandchild Jessa Bear. Gordon had a very full life that involved his passion of singing and playing his guitar. Gordon played in a band for many years with the Rebels then he played with the Gordie Carver Band. Music played a big part of Gordon's life, he also enjoyed to fish and hunt. Gordon always had a smile on his face and he loved to tease and joke around with others to make others smile. Gordon loved his family and the most were his grandchildren they were his pride and joy. He enjoyed hearing stories of hockey, baseball, dancing and everyday adventures his grandchildren lived. Gordon fought his illness everyday but he would always do it with a smile. When you would ask him how he was feeling he would always say good. Gordon fought right until the last beat of his heart and until he took his last breath with his wife, children and grandson by his side. The family would like to thank the nurses of the Selkirk Dialysis Unit, Brokenhead Medical Drivers, and the Health Science MICU.
