Gordon A. Stellwag

He was born Sunday, February 25, 1940, in Muncie, the son of Clifford and Norma (Walters) Stellwag. Gordon was a giving man and a loving father. He never let go of the testimony of the change that the Lord did in his life at age thirty-seven. Gordon loved Bible study and sharing his faith. He was involved in prison ministry despite having never been to jail and was always quick to forgive any wrongs done against him. He was a proud 1958 graduate of Muncie Central High School. Gordon served in the U.S. Army from 1958 until 1962 as an infantryman. He was retired from Warner Gear. Gordon was a friend to all, and an avid supporter of the Chicago Bears and the Chicago White Sox. Gordon was a great fisherman and loved to get away any time the opportunity came his way.

Survivors include two sons, Dennis Stellwag, Ft. Myers, Florida, and David Stellwag, Parker City; four grandchildren, Haley (husband, Brian) Cook, Heidi (husband, Luca) Santiago; Joel Stellwag, and Abby Rose Stellwag; three great-grandchildren, Phoebe Cook, Penelope Cook, and Nicola Santiago. His brothers, Walt (Bonnie) Stellwag and Danny Stellwag; a sister, Norma (Sis) Vargo all of Muncie.

His wife of forty-nine years, Marilyn Rose (Beard) Stellwag; and a son, Darrell Paul Stellwag, preceded him in death.

Gordon’s wishes were to be cremated. Arrangements have been entrusted to Elm Ridge Funeral Home, 4600 West Kilgore Avenue, Muncie, Indiana 47304. A Memorial Service was held at Full Gospel Temple on January 19, 2022.
