Gordon was born in Orange County, Florida, a son of Warren “Nick” Laverack and the late Myrl Adair Laverack. Gordon was fiercely loving. He was a strong presence in his sons’ lives from the very beginning and was always not only present at whatever they were interested in, but their biggest cheerleader. He cherished spending time with his family. His pastimes included watching westerns, following dirt bike and NASCAR racing, fishing with his sons, and driving around in his beloved truck. He loved the beach and sharing funny stories. He was also an animal lover, with a special affinity for red wolves. 

In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by his brother, Greg E. Laverack. 

He is survived by his wife Sandra Joyce Laverack; his sons Caleb Nicholas Laverack and wife Stepheny, and Jarrett Levi Laverack; his father Warren “Nick” Laverack; and his sister DeDe Larson, and her husband, RJ Larson; and his nephews, McKie, Nicholas, and niece, Brooke.
