Gordon “ Daniel” Lessen

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Gordon “ Daniel” Lessen, on July 25, 2024, at the age of 38.
Cremation rites have been accorded by Holland Barry & Bennett Funeral Home.
Daniel was known for his humor, charm, and sense for adventure. His love for the outdoors was boundless, finding peace and joy in activities like fishing, camping, and kayaking. Nature was his sanctuary, and he embraced it with a zest for life that was truly inspiring. He was a beloved son, father, brother, uncle and friend, whose ability to make others laugh and feel at ease was a testament to his generous spirit. His charm and enthusiasm left indelible mark on everyone he met. Daniel had a soft spot for those who carried stones in their pockets, offering his empathy and support to those bearing the weight of life’s challenges. In times of solace, Daniel found comfort and peace in the words of John 14:1-5: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Daniel was preceded in death by his grandfather Galen Lessen, grandparents Thomas and Mary Bailey and his uncle Bruce Lessen. He is survived by his grandmother Betty Lessen, his father Gordon Lessen, mother Ann Bailey, sisters Rebecca Fiala and Sarah Lessen, half -sister Jennifer Grier, brothers Dylan and Dalton Lessen, daughters Grace and Rebella Lessen, son Ashton Auth, nieces and nephews, who will forever treasure the memories of him and his light.
