Michael “Big Mike” Gordon passed away peacefully at Cornerstone Hospice Tavares on February 19th 2024 after a tough battle with cancer at the ager of 69 years old.

Sister in law Denise Brose, Brother in law Chris Warren. Sister Ruth L Avena ; Brother Gerald David Mailey and his wife Sandy, Nephew David and niece Amanda.
Mike worked as Branch manager for Atlantic Drilling Supply for about 10 years until he retired.
He was a huge fan of ALL sports, back in the day he enjoyed playing basketball on the weekends with his friends. Those who knew him knew he shot a mean 3 pointer. Mike was a very ‘friendly’ guy – he never met a stranger, he was a great husband, father, brother, grandfather and a good friend to all who knew him.

Fly high my friend! You weren’t my real uncle BUT you treated me like a nephew! Won’t ever forget the MB trip and the fun that was had! It was an honor to know you and you’ll never be forgotten.
Much love Michael!
