Gordon Henwood

Gordon P. Henwood of Grantsville, Utah passed away at his home with his wife by his side after a hard-fought battle with brain cancer, on July 14, 2019.

Gordon, the youngest of three sons, was born December 31, 1953 to Willard S. Henwood Jr. and Ruth L. Hammond in Tooele, Utah. He grew up in Grantsville with his two older brothers, James (Jim), and William (Bill). Gordon graduated from Grantsville High School in 1972, then on to Salt Lake Community College, where he excelled in welding. After college, he began a lifelong career at US Mag in Utah (retired in 2018). Gordon married Hazel A. Haight in the fall of 1974, and had three children.

Gordon absolutely loved hunting, fishing, camping and anything outdoorsy, but most of all, he loved traveling. He had a sense of adventure that compelled him to travel, experience different cultures, and explore the world from North to South, and East to West.

Gordon is preceded in death by his Father, Willard Henwood, his Mother, Ruth Henwood, and is survived by his wife Hazel, his son, Michael, his daughters Jenn DeWitt (Steven), and Lisa Kinder (Bryan), his seven grandchildren, Kenedi, Brea, Halli, Rhyder, Aspyn, Brynlee and Marlee, and one great grandchild, “That Baby” Greyson.

A viewing will be held on Thursday, July 18, 2019, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Memorial services will be held Friday, July 19, 2019 at 12:00 p.m., with a viewing held prior to the Memorial service from 11:00-12:00.
