Obituary For Gordon Lester Nellis

Gordon Lester Nellis passed away on Thursday, April 26, 2018, after fighting a short but courageous battle with cancer, at Points West Hospice with his family at his side.

Gordon was born on December 5, 1955 in Grande Prairie, AB.

He loved golfing, camping, traveling, and anything to do with classic cars. His favorite thing was playing cards with his family.

His family was most important to him. In 1980, he married Carol Reber and they had 3 children: Crystal (Jadon) Bates, Mark (Cindy) Nellis, and Darla (Linden Anaka). His beloved grandkids: Logan, Caleb, Avi, Isla, Paige, and Baby on the way, made him so happy.

Gordon is also survived by his sister Shirley, brothers Don (Ellen) and Phil (Kris), as well as nieces, nephews, and some very special friends.

He was predeceased by his parents Orval and Irene Nellis, and brothers Stan and Wayne.

At Gordon’s request, there will be no funeral service. A family graveside service will be held at a later date at Glen Leslie Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made to Grande Prairie Hospice and Palliative Care Society (Box 21215, Grande Prairie, AB, T8V 6W7).
