Obituary of Gord Jr Chamney

Gordon Chamney Jr.  was born May 1st, 1953 to Gordon Sr. and Ruby Chamney, a long-awaited answer to their prayers. He was lovingly raised as their only child. Gordie was raised in Provost, Alberta, where he attended school from kindergarten through grade 12. Growing up, he developed a love for sports and especially enjoyed hockey and baseball.

Gordie learned the value of hard work and entrepreneurship early in life while helping in the family business. Those early lessons shaped the dedicated and hardworking businessman he would become. Gordie spent more than 30 years building lasting relationships and lifelong friendships through his career at Northcott, a profession he took great pride in. Though Edmonton was considered his home base with work would have him travel all through out North America.

Outside of work, Dillberry Lake held a special place in Gord's heart. The family cabin became his cherished home away from home, a place filled with laughter, memories, and community. Gord's welcoming nature became a familiar part of life at Dillberry Lake, where generations of lake kids knew they could count on an ice cream treat and a friendly smile.

Though Gord never had children of his own, he became a treasured member of the Gregory family, affectionately known as a bonus uncle and later as a bonus grandpa to the grandchildren. Gord loved being part of the family gatherings, holidays, birthdays, and travels together.

While Gordie built much of his adult life living in Edmonton, the ties to Provost never faded. As his health began to fail, he made the decision to return home late 2023 where he could be near those who deeply cared for him.

Gordon Chamney Jr. passed away peacefully on May 4th, 2026 at the age of 73, surrounded by those who loved him.

Left to cherish Gord's memory are his chosen family, Dale† and Annette Gregory, Nicole and Wes Ganser and family, Travis and Nicole Gregory and family, Mitch and Shar Gregory and family, Barry and Barbee Johnstone, Cheryl and Kory Tizzard and family, Steven Johnstone, Rod and Cheryl Larson and family, Derek Graham and Jennifer Menzies and family, and Rick Larson and family, as well as numerous other friends and extended family.

A private graveside will take place at the Provost Cemetery.
