He was the beloved son of the late William "Bill" Harold Palmer and Hallie Mae Palmer, who were long-time residents of Witcher Creek.

Gordon grew up in West Virginia, attending Dupont High School before furthering his education at Morris Harvey College.  He dedicated his career to public service, working with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources and later serving as the Executive Director for the West Virginia School Board Association.  After a distinguished career, Gordon retired to Dunbar, West Virginia, where he was an active member of the community and his church.  His life was marked by a deep commitment to his faith, family, golf, and a passion for antiques.

In addition to his parents, Gordon was preceded in death by his brother, William "Bill" Franklin Palmer, Col, USAF Ret. of Las Vegas, NV; his sister, Carol Sue Palmer of College Station, TX; and his first wife, Barbara Dawson Palmer.
