He was a charter member of the Skyway Golf Course and helped raise funds to build the course. He was passionate about golf. He also loved basketball and pheasant hunting. He served two terms on the Tremonton City Council.
Gordon was an active member of the LDS church and served faithfully in such callings as Elder's Quorum President, Sunday School President, High Priest Group Leader, Scout Master, Employment Specialist and home teacher.
