Gordon

Briwick

Gordon W. J. Briwick, 23, of Racine, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly on October 31, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a love that will never fade. Though his time with us was far too short, Gordon lived with contagious energy, a love for those closest to him, and a smile that could light up any room.

Gordon was the kind of person who made life a little brighter just by being part of it. Whether he was cracking jokes, cheering on his favorite teams, or enjoying time with family and friends, he had a way of turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. His fun-loving personality and genuine heart will be deeply missed by everyone fortunate enough to have known him. 

A 2021 graduate of J.I. Case High School, Gordon proudly wore #28 on the football field, where he developed a love for the game and the teamwork and brotherhood that came with it. His passion for sports continued throughout his life as a devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Milwaukee Brewers. He loved attending games and sharing those experiences with the people closest to him. Purple, green, and gold became colors that represented not only his favorite teams but also the spirit and enthusiasm he brought to everything he loved. 

Gordon carried that same dedication into his career in the construction trades. As a proud member of the construction union, he valued hard work, teamwork, and the bonds he formed with his union brothers. He took pride in his work and the friendships built along the way. 

Above all, Gordon treasured the people in his life. He found happiness in life’s simple moments, whether sharing a laugh, making memories, or just being together. His loyalty, humor, and larger-than-life personality left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. 

Gordon leaves behind his loving family, mother, Amanda; father, Gordon; sister, Lilliana; grandmothers, Jackie (affectionately known as “Momo”), Sheree (maternal grandmother), and Karen (paternal grandmother); uncles, Adam, Dave, Chris, and Mark; aunts, Ashley, Lexie, Stephanie, Heather, Sara, and Kayla; cousins, Brianna, Taylor, Jaxon, Josie, Nakiya, Paxton, Nathan, Noah, Alia, Natalie, and Haley. He also leaves behind his friends, lifelong friend, Lamaj; close friend, Jaden; and the many others who became an important part of his life. From childhood through adulthood, these friendships were filled with loyalty, laughter, and memories that will be treasured forever. Gordon is also lovingly remembered by his extended family and union brothers, who will continue to carry his memory in their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his two grandparents, John Blank and William Briwick.

At just 23 years old, Gordon had so much more life to live, so many more memories to make, and so much more love to give. While his unexpected passing leaves a heartbreak that words cannot express, his memory will live on in every shared story, every burst of laughter, every football game, and every moment that reminds us of him. 

Gordon’s life will never be measured by the number of years he lived, but by the love he shared, the bonds he built, and the countless lives he touched. 

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever #28. 

Until we meet again, Gord.
