Hill, Gordon “Gordie” – It is with deep sadness that the family of Gordon “Gordie” Hill of Chaswood and formerly of Stewiacke, announce his sudden and unexpected passing on Thursday, March 5, 2026 at the age of 58. Though we will miss him dearly, we take comfort knowing he is at peace with the Lord.
Gordie shared 36 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Kim, and 40 years together, a partnership built on love, loyalty, and a life centered on family. He loved his family dearly and led them well.
Born in Truro, he was a son of Elva Hill and the late Elroy Hill.
Gordie was a devoted and loving father to Michael, Timothy (Jen) and Chelsey (Paul); and a proud and loving “Papa” to his grandchildren, Raina, Everleigh, and Rohan. As Papa, he always knew how to make them laugh. He cherished every moment with them. Whether tinkering on little projects, spending time outdoors, or making memories at “the camp” with his family and his two close friends, Brian and Doug, he found joy and a connection with God in nature. His warmth, patience and quiet wisdom left a lasting impression, and the love he shared and the memories he created will live on through his children and grandchildren.
He is survived by his sisters, Cindy (David), Brenda (Paul) and Tracy (Kevin); several nieces and nephews; and his aunt, Leah Ramsey, whom he affectionately called his second mum.
Gordie will always be forever loved, cherished and remembered.
He was predeceased by his nephew, Darren Holder; his aunt, Velma Hines; his brother-in-law, Craig Miller; his sister-in-law, Wendy Adams; and his mother-in-law, Judy Miller.
A graveside Celebration of Life will be held on May 23 at 1:30 p.m. in Pine Grove Cemetery, East Stewiacke, with a reception to follow in West St. Andrews Community Hall.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro, and a special thank you to Dr. Kim and nurses, Nancy and Erin Kearns at Halifax Infirmary for their exceptional care of Gordie. They also wish to express their sincere gratitude to Arimathea Funeral Cooperative for their guidance and support during this time.
Memorial donations may be made to Groundswell Church or Colchester SPCA.
