Passed away peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital on January 15, 2024, at the age of 79, after a brief illness. Gordon was the father of Glen and James Mason, Samuel Mitson, and longtime friend of Kathy Mitson. Born in Toronto in July of 1944, Gord enjoyed calling the GTA his home for many years, most recently the Burlington community. He devotedly embraced health and exercise as a cornerstone of his lifestyle, and as a young adult worked and/or was associated with numerous gyms/health clubs. Gord also loved to travel, especially to warmer climates, finding solace spending time in the sun on the beach somewhere; whether it was in Florida, Mexico, or simply the Toronto Island. A longtime paramedic with Toronto Paramedic Services (formerly Toronto EMS), Gord dedicated his life to helping others. Generosity of heart was a foundational driving force in his life, and his spirit larger than life. His memory will be eternally carried in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
