Gordon Reynolds Obituary

Hard to believe it´s been 10 years already. Leary Powell and I were just reminiscing about our time working with Gordon the other day. He was one of the best people I ever worked for.
He was a true blessing as a co-worker and friend.
Wishing the family nothing but the best of joyful memories today.
Sincerely,
Mark Mellor
John Deere Parts Express Driver

Although I didn't know Gordon a long time, it didn't take very long to know he was a special man. We had discussions about his service to our country, community, and most of all his church and Lord. I was a John Deere Parts Express driver for Gordon and really enjoyed working for him. I delivered to " the boys " and their new John Deere dealership several times. He was very proud of them and his entire family. I am sure Gordon was the best at everything he did. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends. God Bless !

Many a day, there were a few of us that often shared a "late lunch" together in the back break room of the former Kansas City Branch. With each day came funnier stories than the previous, along with Gordon's infectious laugh! It was never long before we all were laughing and enjoying the moment (which would explain why we always retreated to the "back" break room)! Thank you Gordon for sharing your caring nature, calming spirit, and a legacy of kindness you left with us all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Gordon always was ready to lend a hand or an ear to everyone. I learned so much from him. He will be greatly missed. Much love and support to Jean, Pam, Mark and all of the family.

Gordon and Jean have always been fixtures at the grandkids' sporting events and activities. His kind spirit was so uplifting, and wonderful to be around. He will be missed by so many. My love and prayers to "Grandpa Reynolds's" family.

Gordo was a great man. I always enjoyed hearing him laugh. It always made my day. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

We were so sad to see this notice of Mr. Reynolds death. I always looked for you when we are in the Oncology Clinic. Please know our family is keeping you in our prayers. The Nick Woods and Weeks Families

Pam, & Mark,n I was saddened this morning when I red the news paper about your dad. I never relly knew him, but my mom did and she always spoke highly of him. You and all the family are in our thoghts and prayers. God bless you all.

I spent so many work days with Gordon. He was a very special man. I know your faith and loving memories will carry you through.

Gordon was the salt of the earth with the heart of our better selves. Such a good and caring man. Prayers and sympathy for his family.

I consider myself very lucky to have known Gordon. He had a positive impact on everyone he met. I know that he will be missed dearly.

Gordo was my first official boss at John Deere. As a part time college student I was assigned to Gordon to pick up trash in the office, sweep and buff the floors, clean the restrooms and all sorts of fun jobs. He was such a great boss and a truly great friend. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was always in a good mood. He was definitely one of the 'good guys' at John Deere. He will be truly missed. My condolences to the family.

I was lucky enough to work with Gordon for a few years before he retired. What a nice and hard working man he was - with that soothing voice and always a ready smile. Saddened to hear of his death. Prayers to the family.

Dear Jean and family, I just learned of Gordon's death and want to send my sympathies. He was a great guy during the school years when I knew him best. I feel fortunate to have had my life cross with his (and yours Jean). Bud

I met this guy when he was the nighttime broom pusher at the John Deere Branch. He was a man with a plan: push that broom good enough and somebody will notice and you will get somewhere. That plan worked for him because he worked it with diligence. And he was recognized and got his first real John Deere Co. job starting in the warehouse scheduling office, then he was moved into the office where he continued to progress, and with each job he moved up in position, broadening the confidence in himself and building on the trust, respect and love, yes love, of his fellow employees. Gordon was a quiet man, a humble man with a fun wit and a great sense of humor. I feel honored to have worked with him and blessed to have had him as a friend. He will be missed.

I met Gordon when he first started work at John Deere. We became quick friends and had many laughs together. He always had a smile when he saw you. My condolences to his family.

I worked with Gordon for many years. He was a hard worker
and I always enjoyed visiting with him.

I was privilged to have worked with Gordon. He was a very kind and considerate person... A true joy to know. He will truly be missed.

My heart goes out to Jean and the rest of the family. I worked with Gordon for many years. He was a very nice man and friend. He will be missed.

Gordon was a great man and a very generous man in the ways he helped others. He was always very kind to me when I moved to begin working at John Deere's KC Branch in 1983. He always had a ready smile and a good sense of humor. I have been privileged to keep up on news about Gordon as his daughter-in-law Nichole is my hair stylist. An appointment never goes by that we didn't talk about Gordon. He obviously was a great father-in-law too. My condolences to the entire Reynolds family and all of Gordon's friends. He has left a great legacy in his family. Best Regards,

I am grateful for the life of Mr. Reynolds. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.
