Rob Gordon, a resident of Wichita, KS, passed away unexpectedly on August 31st, leaving behind a grieving community and family. Rob was a United States Army veteran who served his country with dedication before continuing his hard work with the USPS. Known for his kind heart and dedication to his family, Rob’s sudden passing has left his wife, Shawn Gordon, and their family in a challenging financial situation.
Rob was diagnosed with throat cancer last November and fought a brave battle, emerging cancer-free after chemotherapy and radiation treatments. However, the cost of his treatment took a significant toll on the family’s savings, leaving them with little financial security. Rob was admitted to St. Francis Hospital on August 26th, where he spent his last days in the MICU before his unexpected passing. Unfortunately, Rob had no life insurance or retirement savings, leaving Shawn, who has been a stay-at-home mom for the past 33 years, without financial support.
A fundraiser organized by Rob’s close friend, Samuel Redden, aims to raise $10,000 to help Shawn cover the funeral expenses and other household needs. As of now, $120 has been raised from two generous donors, Kelley Magee and an anonymous individual. The community is encouraged to come together in support of the Gordon family during this difficult time.
Rob’s joyful personality and unwavering love for his family will be remembered by all who knew him. His passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of many.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Shawn Gordon and her family as they navigate life without Rob. May Rob rest in peace, and may his family find comfort and strength in the love and support around them.
