OUR LOSS. Gordon May
passed away in his sleep on October 6 at
his home in Elizabeth Colorado. He was a
long time reiner, riding with Vernon Performance
Horses. In the show pen he was a great competitor,
winning the 2005 RMRHA Summer Slide Non
Pro and Intermediate Non Pro on his talented
horse Duncans Dun It (Mudslide). He went
on to represent RMRHA in the Mountain Affiliate
Finals and then qualified for the North
American Affiliate Championships held during
the NRHA Futurity in Oklahoma City. Gordon
will be remembered for his kind heart and
passion for life. His optimism was contagious
and his thoughtful and quiet strength made
him a natural confidant and friend. He will
be missed by all. Gordon is survived by
his loving wife Julie. A memorial service
will be held at 1:00pm on Saturday, October
22 at the Parker United Methodist Church
at 11805 S. Pine Drive.
Parker Funeral Home has a web page if
anyone would like to leave a message.
Go to www.pfh-co.com.
There also will be time at the service if
anyone would like to share any memories
that they have of Gordon.
