Samuel "Sammy G" Gordon Jr. Obituary (1950 - 2020)

On Thursday, November 19, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge LA, the Angel of the Lord came down from Heaven and said: "My child, your suffering days are now over and it's time for your reward, your Heavenly home awaits you." Samuel Gordon, Jr. was born to the union of Evelyn Goudia Gordon and Samuel Gordon, Sr. on December 16, 1950. Sammy was the fourth child born into this loving home, in which six more siblings would later arrive. He knew love and thrived on it. He showed love wherever he went. He preferred being called Sammy G or Sammy. He was also lovingly known as Junior. Sammy was baptized at an early age at Woodville Baptist Church in Wallace, LA by Rev. Wilkerson N. Grant. He later joined membership with First Community Antioch Baptist Church in Lutcher, LA under pastorship of the late Pastor Ferdinand Gaines, Jr. He was educated in the St. John The Baptist Parish School System. Sammy loved his family. Being ill himself, he continually prayed for his nephew and was always concerned about his recovery. That was the type of person he was.
