Gord was born January 21, 1968 in Stettler to Neil and Pat Hoskins. At the age of sixteen his family moved to Taber where he has resided until the time of his passing. Gord met Rhonda Christensen in 1985 and they were married September 23, 1989. He started Gord’s Water Hauling in 1991 and later started K&C Trucking in 2005.

Gord enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and spending time with family and friends. In the last six years, he enjoyed spending time at his favorite place, Moyie, British Columbia. Gord cherished many family vacations to Mexico, Cuba and his favorite place Hawaii. He always found amusement teasing his nieces and nephews. Gord’s pride and joy were his three grandsons. He always had a full drawer of candy and a pocket full of change for the swear jar. Gord will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to Dr. Armstrong, the nurses at the Taber ER and to Jackie Foreman at the Chinook Regional Hospital.
