Michael Guy Gordon, age 89, passed on Thursday July 18, 2024 at Saddleback Medical Center in Laguna Hills, California, surrounded by the love of his immediate family.

Mike was born in New York City, and lived on both coasts before settling in California in 1995. Mike is predeceased by his daughter Gail Bauer and is survived by his loving wife of 66+ years, Temar (Taub) Gordon, his daughters Lori Brickel (Jeff DePalma) of Ringwood, NJ and Sandy Kwiatkowski (Stan) of New Braunfels TX. He was a devoted grandfather to David Brickel, Leigha Bauer, Rebecca Brickel, Stephanie Kwiatkowski and Sarah Kwiatkowski. He was a loving great grandfather to Jason Bauer, Sienna Kwiatkowski and Raelyn Bauer.

Mike was a proud graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.  Before retiring in 1998, Mike worked for many years as an Aerospace Engineer at various companies including Singer Kearfott, ultimately setting into a marketing role.

Mike found meaning as a long-term volunteer with the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop as well as Meals on Wheels, where he enjoyed meeting and spending time with everyone. Having lived in Mission Viejo (Palmia) since 2009, Mike had been most notably involved in the Players Club, Safety Committee and the Computer Club. He was always the first to lend a hand.
