Lyle Dean Gordon
Lyle Dean Gordon, 86, of Holmen WI passed away Saturday, December 3, 2022, at his home surrounded by family.
Lyle was born in Mariaville, NE. He was raised in Newport, NE and graduated high school in Bassett, NE where he met his wife Carol June. They were married on May 25, 1956. Throughout the years different small buisness ventures took them many places in Colorado, Nebraska and Wisconsin where they raised their four children. In 1998 they found their final home, a Christmas Tree Farm in Holmen, WI.
Always being the adventurous type Lyle had his private pilot’s license most of his life. He water skied until he was 60 years old, drove semi-truck, traveled the country in his motor home, and attended Nebraska Cornhusker football games as a season ticket holder later passing those tickets to his grandson Dustin. Lyle took immense pride in his children and grandchildren. June and Lyle spent most of their time chasing around the country to attend every event possible.

Lyle is survived by his grandchildren, Tasha (Adam), Torin (Ashley), Tobey (Laura), Kyle (Irene), Britt, Ashlee (Kellen), Dustin; and 11 great grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends.

Brittany, so sorry for your loss — when you were in 5th grade your Grandpa Lyle brought his semi-truck to Evergreen, and your classmates got to go inside – and, your teacher was thrilled to see him having grown up in Viroqua where he owned the bowing alley. Oh, I’m sure he was a VERY PROUD Grandpa, sitting on the bleachers watching you play basketball. Your cherished memories will warm your heart and make you smile. God Bless all !
Mrs. Peterson
Thank you so much for some great memories. Dad was very proud of his grandchildren and his truck. 🙂
I remember you or your sisters babysat for us in Viroqua. It was pretty neat having you for Britt’s teacher. Great memories.
Pam
