Gerald W. "Jerry" Gordon, 90, of Collins, passed peacefully from this life to the next Wednesday, January 1, 2025, at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born November 8, 1934, in Elkins, West Virginia, to the late Preston and Edith (Jordan) Gordon.

He served his country as part of the United States Navy during the Korean War.
Jerry retired from the former Ford plant in Lorain after many years of service and was a member at Maple City Church of God for over 20 years.
He is survived by his daughter and caregiver, Karen Gordon of Collins; daughter, Cindy (Ronn) Walter of Tiffin; grandchildren, Terra Young, Callie Horning, and Tiffany Smith; great-grandchildren, Kora (Brett) Jones, Jerica (Keaton) Houghtlen, Landen Young, and Liam Young.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Jim and Kenneth Gordon.
Visitation for Jerry will be from 10 a.m. until the time of the 11 a.m. service Monday, January 6, 2025, at Maple City Church of God, 79 E. Main St., Norwalk, with Pastor Kenny Conley conducting services. Burial will follow at Meadow Green Cemetery in Huron.
