Gordon Funeral Service & Crematory

We continually look for ways to further enhance the meaning and value of your tribute. Our Heritage. Frank Harris over 50 years earlier. Mr. Our Commitment.

Please consider leaving a review of your experience here: https://g.page/r/CXqeS-6Lf_sbEBM/review In 1977 our family purchased a local, family owned funeral home that was founded by B. Harris had deep connections to our community, which we have maintained and nurtured. To better serve our families, we continually look for ways to further enhance the meaning and value of your tribute. To your comfort:
In 2003, after many years of consultation and study with people involved in funeral service, Gordon Funeral Service moved to a new location at 1904 Lancaster Avenue in Monroe. Our 16,500 square foot facility offers all the amenities for greater comfort and a meaningful service. We maintain state-of-the-art sound and video systems and an immaculate automotive fleet. Every detail has been thoughtfully arranged. To your peace of mind:
In 2010, we opened our new crematory; giving the families we serve complete assurance that our own fully trained personnel handle all cremations on-site. We are proud of the fact that Gordon Funeral Service was the first funeral home in Union County to offer an “on-site” crematory. Our Promise. We assure all families we serve, that this commitment to provide the finest facilities, services, equipment, staff and care will continue as long as the Gordon family exists. Because we care about our community, we also continue to maintain strong relationships with local organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, the local churches, and other civic organizations, and proud of the fact that our company offers the longest local history of funeral service, value, concern, and personal attention.

John "Danny" Plyler

John “Danny” Daniel Plyler, 68, passed away on Monday, December 15, 2025. He was born in Union County, NC on July 11, 1957, son to the late Roy and Joyce Secrest Plyler.

Funeral services will be held at 5:00 PM on Friday, December 19, 2025, in the Chapel of Gordon Funeral Service, 1904 Lancaster Ave., Monroe, NC 28112, with visitation to follow the service. A private graveside service was held prior at Siler Presbyterian Church Cemetery.

Danny is survived by his wife, Kay Birmingham Plyler, three sons, Wyatt Plyler, Jonathan Culbreth (Janet), Matt Culbreth (Amanda), sister Ann Carlton (Steve), niece Elizabeth Lutv (Zachary), and six grandchildren, Jaxton Culbreth, Pamela Strawderman (Toby), Dalton Downey, Moses Culbreth, Josie Culbreth, and Luke Culbreth.

Danny was a Christian, loving husband and father. He was calm, gentle, and a caring provider. He loved people and if you knew him, you loved him.

Danny had many lifelong friends and a lifelong business. Upon graduating from Sun Valley High School in 1975, instead of going to college through football, he told his dad, “Don’t waste your money because I don’t want the school, I would just play football and party.” He decided to work for two years for his dad, Roy Plyler, at Plyler Heating and Air. He soon learned that crawling under houses was not for him. Ever since his 8th grade year, he had a mind for fitness and taking care of his body. He had a dream of opening a gym and his father helped him in building the first gym in Monroe, and it still remains successful to this day. He enjoyed helping people and made such an impact that friends he made along the way would come back to visit and spend time with him. He always said, “I have never gone to work” because his love for the gym and people outweighed the “work” that needed to be done.

Danny was getting ready to retire and he and his wife, Kay, had purchased a farm in Jefferson, SC and they were to spend their first night in their new home Saturday, December 20th.

As shocking and heartbreaking this is, Danny is in his best home, with Jesus Christ, his Savior. He will be celebrating Christmas in a mighty way this year. As much as we miss him, we know he would never want to leave Heaven. Rest in peace my love and we look forward to meeting you again one day. We love you!!

In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorials be made to the Memphis, TN, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-9959.

Abigail "Abby" Wright

Abigail Marie Wright

March 24, 2000 – December 16, 2025

Our beloved Abigail “Abby” Marie Wright, 25, of Indian Trail, NC, was welcomed into her heavenly home on December 16, 2025. Born in Charlotte on March 24, 2000, Abby brought light into every room she entered and hope into every heart she touched.

A funeral service will be held at 11:30AM on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at Hopewell Baptist Church Legacy Campus, 420 Hopewell Church Road, Monroe, NC 28110, with burial to follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 10:00AM until 11:15AM in the church sanctuary.

Abby possessed an extraordinary gift for turning obstacles into opportunities. Her quick wit could lift spirits in an instant. And her unwavering optimism reminded everyone around her that there was always another path forward. She lived this truth daily, creating solutions where others only saw problems and building bridges where others found walls.

Her hands were always busy creating – whether crafting friendship bracelets or losing herself in video games or filling her world with music. At Hopewell Baptist Church, she shared her radiant faith. Her friends were her treasure, and she cherished every moment spent in their company.

Abby is survived by her devoted mother, Lisa Bernel (Dean), her brother David, and sister Sarah, maternal grandmother Thelma Mauch, 2/3 of the “Three Amigos”, Sydney and Courtney, and her longtime caregivers Sierra and Monya, who will forever carry her infectious laughter in their hearts. She is reunited with her father, Jim Wright, in heaven.

Abby’s legacy lives on in every life she brightened and every path she helped forge.

She was born August 31, 1959, in Long Island, New York to the late Joan and Charles Fear. She was an avid cook with the Food Network being one of her favorite channel’s. Her potato salad and deviled eggs cannot be duplicated. She never missed the chance to eat authentic NY pizza or Chinese takeout. She loved her music loud, the sun on her face, and her two chihuahuas Taco & Belle stuck to her like glue. One of her favorite jobs was being a CNA and taking care of others. She was the matriarch of her friends and family, always helping anyone in need.

She leaves behind her two children, Alicia Kayser (Wyatt) and Robert Wyatt, her three grandchildren Chloe Wyatt Mattingly, Ayden Kayser, and Ava Kayser, and her four brothers Charles, Kevin, Timothy, and Dennis Fear.

The date and place for a celebration of life will be announced at a later date, but it will be Spring/Summer of 2026. Her children would like to spread her and her late husband’s ashes together at a beach in Florida.

Ashley earned her Bachelor of Education in elementary education from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke with a focus on US history.

Ashley worked at the Charlotte Swim Academy for 25 years, spending the last 15 years as General Manager, helping thousands of children learn to swim and empowering so many teachers to impart this life saving skill. In Ashley’s free time, if she wasn’t reading, she was cheering on her children at their ball games, playing cards or board games with her family, or spending time with her husband, Chris, talking about books, tv shows, and their amazing life together. The foundation for all of her wonderful life was her unwavering and steadfast faith in God and her savior, Jesus Christ, and it was His love and grace that Ashley allowed to shine through her onto all those around her.
