With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Timothy D. Gordon “Tim”, who lived his life in Saint Paul until a recent move to Burnsville.
Born in 1945, Tim left us on May 28, 2026, after a courageous battle following a heart attack. He will be missed by his family and wonderful community of friends. Preceding him in death were his parents Eugene J. Gordon and Dorothy J. Melbye Gordon. He is survived by his sisters Pat (Tim) Babineau, Mary (Gary) Bellis, Sally (Bob) Idso, and Kathy (Dan) Schwalbe as well as sixteen nieces and nephews and many grand-nieces and nephews. Tim was the best big brother ever.
Tim graduated from Cretin High School and the University of Minnesota. He served three years in the US Army including a tour in Viet Nam. Tim spent his working life employed by Ramsey County and the State of Minnesota Human Services. He was known for his work ethic, kindness, and commitment to others.
Tim loved the outdoors, camping, photography, poker and of course golf. Golf was what he looked forward to in retirement, and he enjoyed the great friends he played with. He loved music and he attended countless concerts and shows throughout his life. Tim was a remarkable man, a loving brother, and a kind soul.
