Gordon Edward Wratchford, sixty-six years old, of Montgomery, Alabama, passed away on November 03, 2018, 12:50 a.m., from Mantle Cell Lymphoma. He went peacefully in his sleep at Baptist South Hospital.
Gordon was a wonderful man that was loved, is missed, and will always be cherished. Our “Pops,” as he was to his grand-daughter, “Sweetheart,” as he was called by Debi, his wife. And “Dad’’ as he was called by his two biological sons and any others that he took under his wing. He was an amazing Husband, Father, Son and friend to anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.
Visitation will be held at 1:00 p.m. at Leak Memory Chapel. The funeral service will be held 2:00 p.m. at Leak Memory Chapel. Burial will follow the funeral at Eastwood Memorial Gardens at 3:30 p.m. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Leak Memory Chapel.
Gordon was born in Fort Meade, Maryland on October 13, 1952.
Gordon will be lovingly remembered by his wife of forty five years, Debra Jean Miles.
Gordon worked as a Golf Course Superintendent. He enjoyed playing golf, his guitar, bowling and singing. He was also actively involved in several bowling leagues. He loved to spin Debi around on the dance floor.
Gordon is survived by Debra Wratchford; his two sons Anthony (Cori) Wratchford and Michael Wratchford. He is also survived by his parents Charles and Ruby Wratchford and his seven siblings; Andy Wratchford, Larry Wratchford, Glenn Wratchford, Jean Sellers, Pamela Austin, Shelia Walls and Karen Davis. He was the proud Pops to his only grandchild, Stacy Grace Wratchford (Anthony & Cori’s daughter). He was survived by his sixteen nieces and nephews.
Gordon has gone to heaven waiting on his beloved dog, Pigg and cat, Pee-wee to cross over the rainbow bridge to join him. We look forward to seeing him again one day and are thankful he is no longer suffering.
