We are sad to announce that on January 31, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Gordon Douglas Maxson of Riverdale, Georgia, born in Atlanta, Georgia. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Gordon Douglas Maxson to show support.

In the vast expanse of eternity, may Gordon find peace everlasting, cradled in the gentle embrace of the universe. And as we stand on the shores of remembrance, may his legacy inspire us to live each day with purpose, passion, and profound gratitude for the gift of life itself.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Melba Cantrell; his sons, Randy (Lisa) and Anthony; and his grandson Cory. He was also cherished by many classmates, childhood friends.
