Roger Gordon Hurley

June 16, 1931 ~ October 31, 2025

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

Gordon Hurley was born in 1931 in the beautiful town of Manchester, Vermont, where five generations of his family had lived. From a young age, Gordon showed a love for music and was blessed with a beautiful singing voice. He sang in the church choir and served faithfully as an altar boy. During his high school years, he also played football, developing the strong work ethic and dedication that would guide him throughout his life.

After graduating from high school, Gordon joined the United States Air Force and proudly served during the Korean War. He was stationed in Japan for two and a half years with the Far Eastern Command. While home in Manchester, Vermont, he met Joyce Layton, and they were married later that year, beginning a loving partnership that would last a lifetime.

Together, Gordon and Joyce raised four children: Kim, Jeff, Melissa, and Adam. Gordon worked as a contractor, building many homes and commercial buildings in both Vermont and California. In 1981, the family relocated to California, where he continued his successful career in construction.

While serving in the Air Force, Gordon gave his life to the Lord, beginning a lifelong walk of faith. His relationship with God remained central to his life, guiding him in his work, his family, and his character. Gordon walked faithfully with the Lord until the day he went home to be with Him.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

He did a fine job raising his son Jeff.. the only one of the children I know. Be blessed with the joy in the presence of the Lord Jesus.

What an idolic life. I wish I could have gotten to know this Man. I’m certain we would have been friends. He sounds like the kind of person who gave more to life than he took and I’m certain he inspired and influenced his children and people around him with positivity. He will be missed but never forgotten

I’m so very sorry! The heartbreak of losing a parent is so profound I hope your family is comforted by wonderful memories and the truth of Gods promise that this life is not all there is.

I’m sorry Jeff. He looked & sounded like a great man. I’m glad he had a long & succesful life & that he knew his Saviour. I lost mine in 2000. It’s a surreal feeling. I still miss mine.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
