Gordon Bartlett, born on July 18, 1938, to Victoria and Maurice Bartlett, passed away on April 29, 2024, at the age of 85 in Salt Lake after battling Dementia.

He then married Vickie Green and built their life of over 40 years in West Jordan, Utah.

Gordon served in the Air Force after graduating from South High School and loved working on B-52 jet bombers. He was passionate about baseball, both playing and watching, as well as being outdoors whether it was camping, fishing, or hunting but especially spending every available moment in Manila (Flaming Gorge) with country music and wine.

A celebration of life will follow at the Gathering Place at Gardner Village, 1100 West 7800 South, West Jordan, for all family and friends starting at 3:00 p.m. Gordon's wishes were clear: instead of flowers, please donate to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary or any organization that saves animals who are homeless or abused.
