SIDNEY GORDON WICKS
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Sidney Gordon “Gord” Wicks on May 21, 2026. Gord was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and respected businessman whose integrity and kindness left a lasting mark on everyone he met. As many would say, “You could always count on Gord.” He took great pride in building his small business, one that provided meaningful work for friends and family over many years.
Gord approached life with enthusiasm and purpose. He was an avid car enthusiast, a sharp and thoughtful presence in the business community, and happiest when spending time at the lake with his wife and family. His legacy of hard work, loyalty, and love will continue to inspire all who knew him.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Barbara. Gord was a proud father to Terry (Andrew), Don (Stephanie), and Wendy (Vance). He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren—David, Cody, and Kalli—who brought immense joy to his life.
Education was important to Gord, reflected in his achievement of three university degrees. He was a proud member of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, the Blossom Boys, and "the Lads", groups that enriched his life with lifelong friendships and camaraderie.
Gord’s presence, wisdom, and steady support will be profoundly missed, and his memory will be cherished forever.
A Celebration of Life will be held in early fall. A photo biography honouring Gord’s life is accessible through the 'tributes' link below.
In lieu of flowers, you can make a donation to Heart and Stroke, or a charity of your choice.
