My heart is hurting and broken 💔. My Friend, Drew Gordon, passed away this morning after only a short 2 month battle with cancer. He was 48. We have been friends for nearly 20 years. He was a true Friend. Drew was always there when needed. Drew was a great husband and awesome Dad to his wonderful kids. He was always involved at church. He helped drive a church bus, taught Sunday School, played in the Orchestra, when we had one. He faithfully helped me in the soundbooth for many years. Always helping others with their building projects. I remember when he put everything in place, the manpower, the materials and the knowledge to build another Friend of ours a garage when he had cancer.
My heart hurts for Nichole Patterson Gordon and their beautiful family. I understand what the Bible says, I know the right Christian lingo to say during these times, I know that he is pain free and in Heaven, but it still hurts and I am still going to cry 😢.
He loved building custom closets. I hope he is building me a massive walk-in closet for my Heavenly home. He was a solid, real Christian and will be sorely missed.
A good friend sent me this song this morning and I wanted to share it with the Gordon family. I just listened again and my eyes are flowing with tears. I hope you enjoy it as well. It's called, "Getting Ready to Breathe". I'm also attaching one of my favorite pictures of a grave marker with a very sobering thought.
I love you all. Hug your families. Tell your relatives and family members that you love them one more time and please pray for the Drew Gordon Family during this time of grief. Feel free to leave them an encouraging comment. I know they will read them.
