Gordon Wayne Seymour was born on October 31, 1937 in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin to William Seymour and Grace (Smith) Seymour. After graduating from Centuria High School he enlisted in the Army as a Paratrooper stationed in Germany. Upon his return from the Army, he worked for the Forestry Service before fulfilling his life career as a Police Detective/Narcotics Officer at the Coon Rapids Police Department. Gordon had a passion and love for the great outdoors. He enjoyed many trips to Montana and Alaska wild game hunting. He caught his fair amount of Walleye in Canada and as a result his freezer was always full! Gordon also loved having a horse; he rode in many Team Penning and Ranch Rodeo events and so his home was lined with trophies! During Gordon’s adventurous life, he was a loving and caring son, brother, husband, father, grandpa and great-grandpa and a loyal and good friend to many!
Gordon passed away on March 18, 2021 due to Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 83 years. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Grace; sister, Betty Johnson; former spouse, Arlene Seymour; granddaughter, Shannon (Joe) Wisen.
Gordon is survived by daughter, Laurie (Troy) Slater; granddaughter, Terri (Dakota) Hubbard; great grandchildren, Memphis and Kipling Wisen; son, Wayne (Anne) Seymour; granddaughter, Elizabeth (Chris) Bushman and great-grandchildren, Noah, Myla and Aspen Bushman; son, Ryan (Rose) Redepenning; granddaughter, Rubyann; and former spouse, Kris Seymour.
RIP my friend you will be greatly missed. I will remember the good times we had while you were with CRPD and I was with Anoka PD.
RIP Gordy you will be greatly missed. Many fun memories with you fishing, hunting, and horseback. Until we meet again.
My life with Gordy spanned nearly 38 years even though our marriage lasted only 8 years. For the most part we remained loving and very dear friends and I miss him terribly. There was much to love about him and I was drawn by his incredible passion for life. May all who are mourning his loss find comfort in knowing that he lived life to the fullest.❤
We met on the job and quickly expanded that to the outdoors, hunting and fishing. MN, MO, SD, MT, ID, but Ontario most often. There was no greater companion in the outdoors. The thought of never talking with Gordy over a campfire, under the Northern Lights, again is too painful to describe. The woods and water will never be the same again, just knowing he is no longer there. My greatest hope is that he’ll be saving a seat in his boat for me when I get to see him again.
I would like to pass on my heartfelt condolences to Gordy’s family.
It has always been a good feeling knowing Gordy was in the world and a part of my life.
The trips he made to Thunder Bay, Ontario to fish, hunt and enjoy the outdoors made for very special memories.
The good feeling continues knowing he is in my heart.
Rest my Friend.
