Firefighter Gordon W. Stewart – Sep 1942 – May 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gordon W. Stewart. Gord passed away peacefully on May 12th, 2025, at the Kingston General Hospital. Gord was born on September 20th, 1942, in Forfar, Scotland. At age four, Gord emigrated with his parents and brother Ron to East York, Ontario, Canada. This marked the beginning of a life rich in adventure, laughter, beautiful memories, and stories that continue to bring joy to those who knew him. Predeceased by his parents, Gordon (Sr.) and Anne Stewart. Loving brother to two siblings, Carol (the late Bob) Dixon, and predeceased by Ron (Marie) Stewart. Devoted Uncle to Debbie (Ken), Jeffrey (Alice), Vicky (Mark), Kelly, Christine, and Andrew. Amazing great Uncle to Keith, Cody, Conor, and Charlotte, and great great Uncle to Nova. Proud cousin to Norma (the late Joe) Jackson and family from Ottawa, Marilyn, Tracy McMillan, and Graeme McMillan (Vhairi) from Scotland.

Gord was a dedicated member of the Toronto Fire Department. His career began on the 13th of January 1967, and he retired on the 11th of December 1988, after 21 years of service. A special, long-lasting friendship with Barry Papaleo, along with many wonderful friendships in Peterborough. Gord had a vibrant sense of humour and enthusiasm for life and will be deeply missed and forever in the hearts of his family and friends.

A Celebration of Life for Gord will be held July 19th from 2 pm to 5 pm at 2202 Cedarwood Lane, Selwyn, Ontario, K0L 2H0.
