Gordon graduated from Tioga High School, in Tioga, Louisiana. Following high school, Gordon was set up on a blind date, where he met and became enamored with Diane Wilcox and the red dress she had on that day, in Alexandria, Louisiana, in 1955. Gordon soon enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1957, and was stationed in San Antonio, Texas, spent a short time in California as well before he was called to serve our country in Korea, where he remained until 1960, when he was finally able to follow Diane to Dallas, Texas and marry her, 5 years after they first met.

One year into their marriage brought about the arrival of their first son, Steve Deloach, followed by Mark Delaoch in 1965, and their only daughter, Lisa Deloach Anderson in 1968, who were all born at Methodist Hospital, right here in Dallas.

Gordon particularly enjoyed fishing, gardening, and later in life found he really loved spending his time observing numerous different types of birds and wildlife, and learning more about them. He was also very proud for the work he accomplished at his Texaco Service Stations, of which he owned several, for 40 plus years, gaining a great sense of accomplishment.

As well as his daughter Lisa, his son, Mark and his two sons, Ashton and Avery Deloach, and two grand kids Conner and Caitlen Deloach from his predeceased son Steve Deloach.
