September 10, 1950 - February 28, 2025
After a battle with cancer, Gordon MacKinnon died February 28, 2025 in Prince George.
He was born to Murdoch and Ann MacKinnon in Vancouver, BC. After graduating from Britannia High School, he married Katherine Bainbridge in 1972. Soon after, they left Vancouver and Gordon pursued a career in the trucking industry. They had two daughters, Terra and Shauna, and first moved to Prince George in 1977. He later moved to Fort St. John, returning to Prince George on his own in 1999. There he met Priscilla Fortier, his partner and friend for 25 years, and his caregiver for the past year. He worked his way up to General Manager at Inland Kenworth. Later he brought his interest in finance to James Western Star, working there until his retirement in 2020. He had a love for travel, boats and diving. Closer to home, he enjoyed cooking, hiking, gym workouts, and coffee with friends. His Mercedes and spoiling his dog Lilah were highlights in his later years.
Gordon is survived by Priscilla Fortier, his daughters Terra and Shauna (Brant) and grandchildren, Neve, Errol and Gabriel, sister Darlene and nephew Ryan.
He was predeceased by his parents and sister Sylvea.
Heartfelt thanks to Dr. St. Rose and Dr. Sainchuk for their compassionate care and to his neighbours and friends for their support over this difficult year.
Donations in Gord’s memory can be made to the SPCA.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
