VETERAN
Gordon West Hawkins of Provo, Utah, passed away on November 28, 2023, at his home with his family by his side.
Gordon was born on April 29, 1934, to Orson Earl and Ruby West Hawkins in Provo, Utah, where he was also raised. He attended Joaquin Elementary, Farrer Junior High and graduated from Provo High School in 1952.
After graduating from high school, Gordon joined the United States Army and served from 1955 to 1958 in Seoul, Korea. After returning home, he married Julia Ann Strasburg. Together, they had four children: Carol, Colleen, Michael, and Jeffrey.
Gordon was a boiler operator for Provo City Power and retired from Brigham Young University's Central Heating Plant in 1999.
Gordon enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, camping, 4-wheeling, and was an avid gardener. Gordon was always willing to share his flowers with anyone. Gordon was very mechanical and enjoyed working on cars. He could fix anything that was ever broken. Growing up, his children benefited from many of his refurbished bicycles.

A special thanks to Gordon's daughter, Colleen, for her love and patience while helping care for her father, especially during the last few years.
