Gordon Tribble

Gordon left this world far too soon, but not before leaving a dazzling mark on all our lives. His loving, caring, and supportive nature merited the highest admiration. He was a peacemaker, friend, and mentor to so many in the film world, and at home, while fighting for social justice at ever turn. Gordon always stood as a beacon of kindness, consideration, and loyalty.

 

Gordon was a joyous contributor to the vibrant fabric of the LGBTQ community, and a fierce advocate for what was right. He was a loving son to Stu and Cat Tribble, who he lived with on Vashon Island, a place he cherished dearly, along with countless family and friends around the globe.  

 

Gordon's career was nothing short of spectacular. As an accomplished Hair Designer, Make-Up Artist, and Costumer for film, television, and live theater, he was a true artist. In 2020, Gordon was Oscar shortlisted for his incredible work on SOUND OF METAL, which went on to receive 6 academy award nominations. He has three new feature films set for release in the next year, including Netflix's NIGHT ALWAYS COMES, A24's THE DRAMA with Robert Pattinson, and the much-anticipated A24 Anthony Bourdain biopic TONY, where his 1975 styling work truly shone in a time period he loved working on.

 

In tribute to the charismatic star he was, Gordon’s Celebration of Life will take place on August 24th, 2025, at 2 PM, at Open Space Vashon on Vashon Island. In the spirit of his vibrant life, we invite all who knew and loved him to join us—to share laughs, perhaps some glitter, and a wealth of cherished memories. 

 

While Gordon truly loved flower arrangements, he also would have liked his supporters to channel their funds into charitable causes to fight for what's right—he believed there was always something stylish in giving back!

 

Gordon, you were a bright star in the galaxy of our lives, and you are already terribly missed.
