He is survived by his wife Theresa of the home, son Chad Gordon of Topeka Kansas, Tod was born in Independence Missouri on September 19th, 1953 to Robert and Dorothy Gordon. He grew up in Independence and attended Raytown High School. After school, Tod was employed as a sub contractor with Fountain Glass for many years and was a master of many skills, which he proudly passed onto his sons. Tod met Theresa (Ricci) in 1973, and the two were married in 1978, starting their family in 1979. Tod was an avid outdoorsman and loved hunting, fishing camping with his family, and anything that that involved being outside. Tod was a huge fan of the local sports teams including the Chiefs, Royals, and Missouri Tigers. He loved cooking and his preparation of smoked Brisket and Ham was a family favorite tradition. Tod was very much a man’s man and did not compromise his beliefs. He was very loyal to those in his life, and was the first person to offer his help to anyone in need. He will be missed very much by his family and friends and will always be remembered by all who knew him.
