Gordon R. Gamertsfelder
Gordon Ralph Gamertsfelder, 92, formerly of Warsaw, passed away Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024 at Lafayette Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation.
He was born Sept. 24, 1932 at home in Clark Twp., Coshocton Co. to the late Perry and Bernice (Fox) Gamertsfelder. He was a graduate of Clark High School in 1950, and served as a US Army Sergeant in the Korean War. He was blessed to be married to Reva (Swartz) Gamertsfelder on Dec. 16, 1956. She preceded him in death in 1995. He remained faithful to her until the end.
Gordon was proud to be a dairy farmer until retiring at the age of 62. He was a lifetime member and Deacon at Clark Twp. Baptist Church. He will be remembered by many for his love and service to God as a Gideon. He was a faithful follower and disciple of Jesus, his Lord and Savior, through his service with prison ministry, handing out bibles to local schools and colleges, and filling in for ministers on Sunday mornings as a Gideon speaker.
He is survived by three children, Nancy Brown, Gordon “Rusty” (Paula) Gamertsfelder, and Amy Beery; eight grandchildren, Brian (Charlene) Brown, Rachel (Eddie) Geary, Joshua (Stephanie) Gamertsfelder, Nathan Gamertsfelder, and Jeremy (Brittany) Gamertsfelder, Steven (Heidi) Beery, David (Mikasa) Beery, and Sarah Beery; ten great-grandchildren; and nine great-great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by an older sister, Mary Ashcraft; and older brothers, George and Dale Gamertsfelder.
He lived a full and happy life first and foremost as a good and faithful servant of God, a loving and caring husband, the best father and role model, and a fun and loving hearted “Pappy”.
Rest in peace, and watch over us as you always have. You will always be loved and live on in our hearts and one day we will join you in Heaven. “Well done, good and faithful servant.” -Matthew 25:21
