Gordon Mah Ung, RIP 1967-2024

Executive Editor at PC World, Gordon Mah Ung, has unfortunately passed after a prolonged battle with terminal pancreatic cancer. Gordon passed peacefully in his sleep, and is survived through his family. There is a GoFundMe to help support his family.


As his work friends, we will remember him fondly. If there was ever a hall of fame for what we do, Gordon is a true OG recipient.

I appreciated Gordon's no nonsense approach. My condolences to his Friends and Family. FK Cancer.

Yeah this one really punched me in the gut yesterday. It's rare that you genuinely love a journalist, but I loved Gordon and I've followed him since BOOT. Every time he opened his mouth exactly what I would say myself would come out. He never failed to entertain while educating and repeatedly proving why he was the goat.

We'll miss ya man. I'll keep making fun of SFF builds and 2 seater coupes for you.

RIP Gordon, we'll never forget you. Thank you Potato.

RIP Gordon. He truly was a professional in the space.

Thanks for doing this Dr. Cutress. Gordon deeply respected you and highly valued your take on much more than CPUs. You guys were great to watch together.

So sorry to see you doing this on Christmas Eve, condolences to his family.
I remember your video with him, people who have such fun with tech are great to watch. Kind of you to do this.

His Full Nerd intro (and him often messing up said intro, lol) still rings through my ears.
"In THIS episode of the Full Nerd... aaghhhh...."
It always made me giggle when he had to redo the intro. But man, Gordon really was a treasure to the industry. I remember first seeing him in his Hardcore Hardware series back in 2016. Always loved the energy he put into his videos. The Full Nerd really won't be the same without him, but I will continue to watch it in memory of him.

Rest in PCs, Gordon. 🙏

Gordon was truly one of the greats and a man of true honor integrity. He will be missed dearly by me and my circle of nerds. Rest in Power Gordon!

Gordon Mah Ung is one of the first people I knew the name of in the OC Hardware industry. I will always fondly remember him and listening to his "rants of the week" as a kid on the Maximum PC No BS Podcast.

I went back and listened to some them for the first time in over a decade right after hearing the news from Steve's video on Gamers Nexus

Awful news to wake up to, such a great, colourful guy. RIP Gordon ❤

It’s a testimonial to Gordon’s life that never meeting him I still feel a profound sense of loss hearing this😢

[dman]

first heard the news by seeing Gamers Nexus tribute thumbnail come up on my feed and very sad. I wouldnt typically tune into the Full Nerd but I did follow a lot of pc hardware channels esp around trade tech show time like CES and Computex and always loved Gordon Ung's energy and great voice for voice over in youtube videos and passion for what he did. miss you Mr Ung!

[opius]

I will miss him dearly as well. Along with you Ian, he was one I went to for quality information on tech, and his humour. RIP Gordon Mah Ung ❤
