IN MEMORY OF OWEN CLAIR GORDON

1963-2021

Peacefully on December 1, 2021 at the age of 58, the life force known as Owen Gordon came to rest with his soul mate Karen Gordon [nee Huschilt] and closest family by his side. Owen grew up in London, Ontario teaching guitar as a teenager while developing his gift for math in school. After earning his university degree as CA, Owen moved to Toronto where he became a Chartered Professional Accountant.

There was always so much more to Owen than simply business. He lived for music and kept up his guitar skills with inside knowledge of musical artists, tracks and beats to rival most DJs. His tastes moved from funk, soul, jazz, and reggae to acid jazz, house, African music, and rock. Back in the day, Owen was a regular at live music nights on Queen Street West like the Beatnik Beats and Bump N' Hustle. Wherever he went, he made lasting friendships and lit up the room with his 1000-watt smile, diamond-sharp mind, and incredible sense of humour.

In lieu of flowers, please remember Owen and his lifelong passion for music with a charitable donation to MusiCounts.
