Indiana

H. Gordon Gaston, 89, of Indiana, passed away on Monday, May 18, 2026, in Johnstown. He was born in Canoe Township, Indiana County, on November 26, 1936, to the late Walter E. and Lola M. (English) Gaston.

Gordon attended Laura Lamar High School where he played county ball and proudly was awarded medals in track. He proudly served our country in the United States Air Force. Upon his discharge, Gordon worked for Season-all Industries until its closure.

In his free time, Gordon enjoyed baseball, especially the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Sudoku puzzles, but most of all spending time with his family and friends. Gordon always had a positive, happy big blue-eyed smile, always making everyone around know they were loved.

He is survived by his son Rodney (Heidi) Gaston of Indiana, daughter Tracy (James) Grubbs of SC, son Jody Gaston of Indiana, son Jason (Angela) Gaston of NC, grandchildren Hank and Eli Gaston, and Gracie Grubbs, as well as a sister Lana Beth Burnheimer of NC.
