Dr Gordon AnthonyMITCHELL19th February 1933 - 9th April 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gordon Mitchell of Rhiwbina, Cardiff, who died peacefully on 9th April 2025, aged 92.
Beloved husband and soulmate to Joan, until her death, and much-loved partner to the late Shirley, Gordon was a devoted father to Deborah, Joanna and Suzanne, a cherished grandfather to Maia, Jamie, Grace and Rory and a proud great-grandfather to Otto. He was also a dearly loved brother to Marian and uncle to Ian and Andrew. His kindness, wisdom and humour touched the lives of all who knew him.
Gordon studied at the University of Exeter and went on to enjoy a long and distinguished career as a university lecturer. An avid mathematician and a passionate believer in lifelong education, Gordon inspired and encouraged others to keep seeking knowledge throughout their lives. A lover of music from an early age, Gordon was a dedicated bandsman in his youth and a talented cornet player. He was an unwavering supporter of Plymouth Argyle Football Club. Gordon's gentle nature extended to his love for animals and the peace he found in the garden, especially tending his runner beans and picking blackberries in the fields.
He will be remembered with great love and admiration by his family and friends. His legacy of kindness, education and optimism lives on in all who had the privilege to know him.
A funeral service will be held on Monday 12th May at 1:00 p.m. at St Isan's Church, Llanishen CF14 5AE, followed by a committal at Thornhill Crematorium, Briwnant Chapel. All who knew Gordon are warmly invited to attend.
