We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Gordon Atkins, who left this world on May 13, 2024, just one day after his 58th birthday. Gordon was born on May 12, 1966, in Cleveland, Ohio to his beloved parents Roosevelt and Eddie Atkins.

Gordon was a loving father to his four children, Latricia, Keith, Jessica, and Tanesha. He was also a proud grandfather to 10 grandchildren, whom he loved to spoil and play with.

Gordon spent many years working at Lincoln Electric before retiring in 1993. One of his favorite pastimes was watching baseball, and he would never miss a game no matter what. He was a true fan of the sport and could talk for hours about stats and players.

Although we mourn the passing of Gordon, let us remember him with laughter and joy. He had a great sense of humor and could always make us smile, even in the darkest of times. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Rest in peace, Gordon Atkins. May you find eternal happiness in the next inning of life.
