Randall Ray "Randy" Gordon, age 63, of DeKalb, Illinois, passed away on June 16, 2025, at Prairie Crossing Living and Rehab Center in Shabbona, Illinois following a courageous battle with cancer.

He was born on September 24, 1961, in DeKalb, Illinois, the youngest son of Gilbert and Mildred (Ansteth) Gordon. Randy grew up in the nearby town of Waterman. He attended Waterman Elementary and graduated from Waterman High School with the Class of 1979. From a young age, Randy was known for his quick wit and infectious sense of humor—traits that would remain central to his personality throughout his life.

Randy was a devoted husband to his wife Cathy and a loving father to his two children. His family was the heart of his world. Whether watching movies, planning trips to Disney World or baking treats in the kitchen, Randy found joy in creating memories with those he loved most.

He had a knack for bringing laughter into any room—always ready with a joke or a silly gesture to brighten someone’s day. His warmth and humor left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

He is survived by his wife Cathy; his daughter Caitlin Gordon; his grandchildren Viviana and Orion English; his son-in-law Terrell English; his siblings Gerry (Alice) Gordon, Ed (Terry) Gordon, Judy Johnson and Deb Ferguson and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his daughter Samantha English.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Gordon Family in care of Anderson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 605, 2011 South Fourth Street, DeKalb, IL 60115.
