Gordon Wayn Moody

Gordon will be deeply missed by his children, their mother Marilyn, and grandchildren. Wayn (Jennifer, Julia and Emma) Moody, Wendi (Cam, Sean, Scott and Sara) Murray, Deanna (Denis, Ethan) Taylor, Jennifer (Norman, Jessica) Laurence.

Gordon was born in Victoria, BC and lived a full life. He loved the outdoors whether fishing, hunting or hiking. At sixteen he worked on the hydrographic survey ship, the William J. Stewart, followed by a long career with Seaspan formerly Island Tug and Barge. In 1975 he was transferred to the United Kingdom where our family resided in England for two years. During this time, he navigated to many places, from New York to Dubai, the Suez and Panama Canal, and the North Sea. Upon our return to Canada Dad continued to work for Seaspan until his retirement. Dad’s summer pastime was commercial fishing on his boat “Tarra”, where our family spent many summers at Spring Cove, Ucluelet.

Gordie was always ready for a get together to share good food, have fun, and laugh, especially at his own jokes. Most of all he loved his family. He was a husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He taught us to work hard, do your best, have fun, and most of all stay “steady”.

We would like to thank the staff at both Brentwood House and Sidney Care for their kindness and wonderful care given to Dad. Honoring his wishes, there will not be a service.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Alzheimers Society of BC.
