Jonathan Gordon

Jonathan Keith Gordon, 43, passed away on Saturday, June 13, 2026. He was born on May 26, 1983, to Keith and Bonita Sanders.

Jonathan was raised in Pewee Valley, Kentucky, where he attended Oldham County Public Schools. He graduated from South Oldham High School and was a proud member of the football team during his school years.

A devoted fan of the University of Louisville Athletics, Jonathan especially enjoyed cheering on the Cardinals and following their sports programs. He had a kind and generous spirit, always willing to help others whenever he could. Jonathan will be remembered most for his warm smile, which had a way of lighting up any room and making others feel welcome.

At an early age, Jonathan gave his life to Christ and was baptized at Kenwood Baptist Church.

Jonathan was preceded in death by his grandparents, Augustus and Juanita Gordon, and Marvin and Dorothy Sanders; his uncle, Michael Sanders; his aunt, Audey Gordon; and his nephew, Doreon Gordon.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving parents, Keith and Bonita Sanders; his brother, Donnell Gordon (Erin); his sister, Kesha Gordon; his nephews, Jackson, Dashal, Owen, Keyvonte, Daeton, and Keydan Gordon; and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever treasure the time they shared with him.

Though Jonathan's presence will be deeply missed, his legacy of kindness, faith, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Visitation will be from 10am to 12pm on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals and Receptions, East Louisville Chapel, 235 Juneau Drive, Louisville, Kentucky 40243.  A celebration of Jonathan's life will be held there at noon.
