Gordon Homer

Gordon C. Homer peacefully passed away Nov. 30, 2010 surrounded by his children. Born to Russell King Homer III and Ella Minerva Flitton, Gordon dedicated his life to serving his Lord and Savior. Gordon served in WWII in the Italian campaign, and then returned to serve a LDS North Central States mission. He met his Angel wife, Olive Verline Davis in the Emigration Stake where he conducted and she accompanied choirs. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple and together, they created beautiful music for decades. His rich tenor voice was recognized throughout the Wasatch Front and his passion for life was infectious. But what Gordon will be remembered for is his high integrity and his testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Retiring as a CPA, his many clients became life-long friends. Gordons gentle nature and genuine interest was a hallmark of his character. Luckily, many had the opportunity to know and feel of his generosity, appreciation and love. Gordon and Olive served in the Bountiful Temple and truly found joy in serving and teaching the principles of the gospel. Gordon was preceded in death by his father and mother, his brothers Russell King Homer IV, Duane A. Homer, his sisters Vera Burrell, Venda Burkeson, Lyllis Wrathall, his wife Olive, and his son Russell King Homer V. He is survived by his son Gordon Lincoln Homer (Rachelle) and his daughters, C. Diane Johnson (Mitch) and Brenda L. Homer, and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Friends and family may call Monday evening from 6:00-8:00 pm at Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 North Main, and Tuesday 9:30-10:30 am at the church prior to services.
