Dan Gordon (50) was a beloved partner to Susan Plumer, former husband to Jill Gordon, son to Larry and Margie Gordon, grandson to Arthur (Jean) Gordon and Albert (Myrtle) Davis, brother to Joe and Andy (JoAnn), dad to Jack, Lucy, and Olivia, father figure to Amelie, nephew to Jim (Marilyn), Jerry (Michelle), and Susie (Erv), cousin to Carolyn, Julie (Brian), Steve, Jon (Pam), Rian (Jeremy), Marc (Beth), and Abby, and dear friend to everyone he ever met.
We all love Dan so very much and we will hold him in our hearts forever. He was full of life and cherished every experience. The small stuff. The big holidays and celebrations. He loved it all and made the best of every moment.
Dan loved sharing great meals with family and friends, and he built a career in foodservice to bring this joy to others. More recently, he stepped out on his own to start a new business, primarily to be available on weekends and support big plans for the future.
His dreams were cut short this week. As tough as this is, Dan would focus solely on all the joy in his life and wish for us to do the same.
Friends and family will gather for a funeral service on Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 1pm at Weinstein & Piser Funeral Home, 111 Skokie Boulevard, Wilmette, Illinois 60091. Followed by interment at Memorial Park Cemetery and sitting shiva on Tuesday and Wednesday.
In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing in Dan’s memory to the Roberti Community House or Outward Bound.
