I met Jordan in junior high and had the great fortune of his friendship throughout high school and university. Jordan was and will always be one of my favorite people. His kindness, humor and gentle nature will live on in my memory. My mind is a jumble of memories including working at Sorrentos together when we were barely 16 years old, attending Grad and Spring formals together, and all the Faculty of Commerce Halloween socials! My deepest condolences to Elissa, Nick, Jane, Casey, Kyle, Megan and Jordan’s beloved family. Jordan was a keystone part of my youth, and I am so grateful to have called him a friend.

I had the privilege of knowing Jordan through work at Amsterdam. I still remember the first time we met - we had both started around the same time and were introduced at a work gathering. I was told he would be my manager and that we’d be working closely together. From that very first meeting, his kindness and warm smile stood out.

Jordan was a down-to-earth, humble person who always carried a smile. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. I remember our conversations about life in Canada, how cold it could get, even to the point where your eyelids might freeze! He spoke fondly about his time in Los Angeles, the saunas in Germany, holidays in Hawaii, and how he once had an offer to work in India but turned it down because his beloved dog couldn’t come along.

Today, we mourn the loss of a truly wonderful soul. Jordan will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the chance to know him.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, who have stood by him throughout his courageous battle with cancer over the past 2.5 years, and especially with his wife, who has been a true pillar of strength during this time. Though I cannot be there in person, I pray that God grants you comfort, courage, and peace. Stay strong and blessed.

May Jordan rest in peace and find eternal serenity.

Nick, Jane and family so sorry to hear about Jordan's passing, our hearts go out to you and your family.

All are in our prayers .

Jordan and I worked together, and I will never forget the first time we met in person: in a not-so-usual way during a job interview in a bar in Amsterdam (Bar Arie). I think we even had a beer after the conversation. What followed was a wonderful collaboration with a truly kind and genuine gentleman. He was highly valued as a team member and always brought a sense of camaraderie when things got tough at work.

The initial diagnosis struck him - and all of us as his team - like lightning. We kept in close contact throughout the various stages of his illness. I can still picture Jordan smiling from ear to ear at our Christmas party in 2022 (after his first recovery phase, when he was slowly reintegrating), looking sharp like James Bond and having the time of his life: what a night that was.

We also shared the same music taste and liked to evaluate who again would come and play in Melkweg / Paradiso, yet another infamous 90’s band that our younger colleagues would not know. I also shared some live footage with Jordan of a Pearl Jam concert I attended

Jordan, I and I know the team considered themselves lucky to have had you as a colleague. You will be sincerely missed. Thank you for the time and the moments we shared together.

My sincere condolences to Elissa and Jordan’s family and friends

With warmest regards from Amsterdam

I’m so sorry to hear about Jordan’s passing. My deepest condolences to the Fox family. He was such a great guy. Super funny, genuine, and kind. I have so many fond memories of him from in Winnipeg, and later in Calgary. My heart is with your family at this difficult time, and I hope the love and memories you shared can bring some comfort in the days ahead.

I met Jordan in 9th grade at St. Paul's High School, and although we were never close, I remember him for his charachter and wit. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

Sorry to hear of Jordan's passing. We have fond memories of working with him at Deer Lodge and catching up in Thailand.

My deepest condolences to Elissa and the entire Fox family. Jordan was truly one of the best.

I first came to know him as Kyle’s little brother, but I had the privilege of getting to know Jordan in his own right—during the time he was living in Lake Louise. Whenever he visited Calgary, or when a group of us would head up to Lake Louise to snowboard, we’d often get together. What stood out most about Jordan was his incredible sense of humour and his deep love for music. I can thank him for introducing me to some amazing bands—music that still brings back memories of those times.

But that’s not the only thing I can thank Jordan for. While he was living in Lake Louise, I’d always ask him about his friend named Heather McArthur who lived back in Winnipeg, and I even asked him to put in a good word for me. Long story short—he did. Heather and I eventually got together, and we went on to build a life and a family together. Without Jordan, that may never have happened.

Thank you, Jordan—for your kindness, your laughter, and for the unexpected but life-changing impact you had on my life. I’ll always remember you.

Rest in peace.

I met Jordan back in 2014 at work. We only shared one year on the same team, but he was the kind of person who leaves a lasting mark long after you’ve moved on. His positivity, kindness, and humor made even the longest nights more bearable. There were countless times he had me laughing so hard that tears streamed down my face.

Jordan wasn’t just hilarious and sharp—he was also incredibly kind and welcoming. As a first-year on the engagement, I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable, teaching me the ropes with patience and genuine care.

Though our time together was short, his impact has stayed with me ever since. He truly was one of the great ones. I’ve been thinking about him often since hearing he had gotten sick. May he rest in peace—his light and laughter will always be remembered.

I met Jordan in the audit room, lucky enough to have spent a couple of years sitting right next to him. We would laugh a lot and talk about music when possible. Once or twice we laughed to the point of tears. He really made those long days more bearable. He also loved reminding me about all the famous people that were from or once visited Winnipeg. “Hey, you know Neil young was from Winnipeg.” I think he told me he saw Johnny Cash play there once too. He probably told me about non-musicians also.

I saw two shows with Jordan, in Phoenix during a firm training we saw Red Tank! play in a tiny venue for $6. Best $6 I ever spent and looking back now, I was lucky he came with me. We also saw Shonen Knife play at the Bootleg Theater in LA in October 2014. He was always down to go see a show. In fact he was the only accountant I met that was down to go. It was not a long time we worked together but I missed him when he went to Amsterdam and I miss him now. I met Elissa a couple of times but on both occasions, Elissa you were lovely. My heartfelt condolences for your loss and to his family, which he always talked about. Hopefully there is some solace in knowing how deeply he touched so many people and I just wanted to add my little bit. Sadly, I only have one picture with Jordan but I thinks it a good one. I hope you do too.

I was lucky enough to meet Jordan in grade 9, and I was even luckier to remain friends to the end. I'll always remember our West Coast road trip, just before he moved on to his new venture in life, living in Denver. The gracious host, as always, I've been able to crash on his couch in Denver, LA and Amsterdam.
You would have never known that jord was ever battling cancer, I can't remember him complaing once. Even at the end, he was the one reassuring me.
I'll miss your quick wit, your music recommendations, your kindness, our conversations, and I'll miss you, my friend. You are gone too soon, I hope you knew how great of an impact you've made on all of us. Love you man. Thanks for everything.

I am one of those lucky guys who got to grow up alongside Jordan as a classmate at Brebeuf, from kindergarten to grade 8. Here are some things I remember from those years: Jordan was a thoughtful friend who had a subtle sense of humour. He made us crack up often, even just by lifting his eyebrow. He was one of the sharpest kids in our class, but was too modest to ever mention it, or more likely did not want to put himself ahead of others. He never said a harsh word, and no matter how crazy things got he managed to keep his cool completely. More important than all of that though, he was kind, thoughtful and cared for those around him in a way that was beyond his years.

During the flood of 1997 and its aftermath my family and I had to relocate for a time from our home in St. Adolphe. The Foxes offered for me to stay with them for a while. During that chaotic time Jordan introduced me to city life, including going to movies and skateboarding, (which I did until i took a big spill in front of his mom and then was forbidden to keep skateboarding until I returned home safely). Because of his friendship my stay in the city was an adventure instead of the difficult time it could have been. Jordan was good at making people feel at ease and making them laugh despite the circumstances.

I hoped our paths would cross again one day but that was not to be. Jordan, thank you for your friendship. My memories of you will make me smile for years to come.

I met Jordan through work and we quickly became friends with him and his wife Elissa. We had amazing time together during the COVID lockdown with them and other friends, doing fun things and finding joy in difficult times. Thats how I will remember him - always smiling and joking, no matter what, and never giving up, Jordan had a great sense of humor and taste in music. We had gone to many parties here in Amsterdam and had so many good laughs.

My thoughts are with Elissa and his family. It is so incredibly unfair that he is gone, way too soon. I will cherish every memory created together with Jordan and carry them him throughout my whole life. I will miss him so much.

I met Jordan at work here in Amsterdam, and wish we had more chances to connect. He was such a nice guy with a great sense of humour. I do recall the first team event we had, a few drinks at a high table in the office, and i was so happy to meet a Canadian who loved skiing as much as I do. we talked so long about skiing and his dream to ski in the alps. so every winter when I would go back home in the French alps i would give him an update about my ski trip.

My thoughts are with his wife and his family, life can be just really unfair sometimes. All my condoleances. We will miss you Jordan. Here is a picture with the team at the Christmas party

Years ago, the Fox and Pape families both lived in Charleswood, and for a time we shared rides to and from school.

One hot day, I had Jordan and a few other St. John Brebeuf kids in our old mini-van for the ride home. There was no air conditioning in the van, so we decided to stop at McDonald’s for a treat to cool off. Everyone was crowded around the counter to order sundaes or milkshakes, but Jordan quietly declined and said he didn’t want anything.

He seemed mindful of the cost, maybe showing early signs of the accountant he would one day become. When I finally convinced him that it was perfectly fine to have a treat, he chose the simplest, least expensive thing on the menu: an ice cream cone.

The boys were only about nine or ten at the time, and I was struck by how considerate and thoughtful Jordan was, even at such a young age. I remember telling Jane and Nick afterward that he was already growing into a truly kind and caring person.

And he definitely did.

At this incredibly sad time, my heart goes out to his beautiful wife, Elissa, to his wonderful family, especially Jane and Nick and all the Foxes and to his many friends who will miss him more than words can ever convey.

I’m so grateful for the time I had with Jordan, even though it was far too short. I was deeply touched by the gentle kindness and patience he showed with his nieces and nephews and how much they adored him in return.

Marrying into the Fox family and getting to witness the bond between the four siblings has been one of the greatest joys of joining this family. Their connection is something truly special and hilarious, true frienships. It breaks my heart to think of that circle being one less.

Walter loves talking about his Uncle Jord, and that’s something we’ will continue. We are going to miss him terribly. Love you Jordy.

Elissa, Nick, Jane, Casey, Kyle, Meg, and all of the family I am so sorry for your loss.

I have yet to meet anyone that has said anything other than "he's one of the best people I've met" when Jordans name came up. The last time I saw Jordan was at Kyle and Haley's wedding and I was so happy to have the chance to meet his beautiful, funny and kind wife Elissa. We were able to share a dance and it was so nice to see how he beamed as he spoke about the life he and Elissa had built in Amsterdam. Though Jordan and I only lived in the same city for a handful of years of our friendship, I have so many wonderful memories with him. I'll always remember warm friendsgiving dinners, hanging out in the basement after the pemby and Jordans dry humor that never failed to have everyone cracking up with a perfectly timed one liner. I feel so lucky to have known Jordan, and will never forget him.

We do not know Jordan personally, but we met Nick and Jane (the parents) in Prince Rupert and sometimes in Winnipeg. . Marvin and Nick work together for several years .

We want to offer our deepest sympathies to the family.

Jordan was such a great friend. I loved his kindness, wonderful spirit, fantastic humor, love of animals, high taste in excellent music, passion for friendship, and overall amazingness. I had so much fun spending time with him in Amsterdam, particularly during COVID when our group of friends practically had the city to ourselves. Jordan and Elissa always hosted warm and gezellig (cozy) gatherings at their beautifully decorated home that we always enjoyed attending, especially our toddler son who also loves uncle Jordan and auntie Elissa very much. I feel extremely grateful that our paths crossed and he, Elissa, and Yoshi came into our lives. We’re going to miss him tremendously. ❤️

Jordan, you were one of the best buds a guy could ever ask for. I have fond memories of skateboarding, snowboarding, and hanging out with you back in the day. Grade 9 was tough - particularly at a strict all-boys school where we had to wear a suit every day! Man, was I lucky to have met you. Your friendship helped me through.

I still remember the first time we hung out outside of school in September 1997 like it was yesterday. You and Mike Pape were skating around Charleswood on a Saturday evening, and just randomly happened to skate down my street - and I just happened to be skating alone in front of my house. That moment sparked a life-long friendship.

I'll always remember your endless humor, quick wit, and infectious laugh. Love you and miss you bro.

Jord. Although I have not spent more than a handful of days with you in the last 20 years, the memories I have with you are some of the best. You entered my life as Kyle's little brother, but quickly moved into just one of the boys. That effortless humour, humility and zest for life was contagious. I can see and hear your laugh clearly, despite the distance over the last years. It was a real pleasure getting to spend the time I did with you. You will never be far from my mind. Love you Jord.

Jordan, a great friend and always a smile on his face.

I think back of the times we spent making music. From the recording of the No Goods album to the minidisc recorder with a mic hanging in the middle of the room in the basement of the 7420 house in Calgary. I will always remember Jordan's easygoing attitude and ability to play the drum beat exactly what I was thinking.

Jordan, you will be remembered.

I knew Jordan from a young age - we went to school together from the ages of seven to fifteen. First in Grade 2, at St. John Brebeuf and later we both attended St. Paul’s High School. We even lived close by in the same Charleswood neighbourhood, which made it easy early on for our parents to organize a carpool. For years, we rode to and from school together; simple days that became the foundation of a lifelong friendship.

Growing up in Charleswood, we spent countless hours skating, snowboarding, and just being kids. Jordan and his brother Kyle, along with their friends, were the first ones to introduce me to skateboarding. We’d spend hours learning the basics and building snowboard jumps with the Klymochko brothers on overpasses and snowbanks.

We never missed each other’s birthday parties, and our tight-knit group shared so many memories — all-nighters at friends’ houses playing Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball, EA Sports NHL, and WWF Wrestling until sunrise, or backyard campouts where we laughed and talked until we either couldn’t keep our eyes open or the sun started to come up and we knew we had better at least pretend to get some sleep before the adults woke up...

Even as a kid, Jordan had a quiet, effortless coolness about him. He and his family were some of the kindest, most genuine people I’d ever met. Jordan was one of those rare people who was truly liked by everyone — he had a warmth and calm energy that drew people in. His humour was subtle, dry, and completely his own. It was the kind that could have you doubled over laughing while he barely cracked a smile. There was something almost David Letterman-esque about it.

Music was always a big part of who Jordan was, and that love clearly stayed with him throughout his life. Back then, he and Kyle would jam together somtimes, Jordan on the drums, Kyle on guitar, and sometimes Casey would join on piano or often play solo. They introduced me to music shaped my early years: Aerosmith, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, NOFX, Pennywise… the soundtrack of growing up.

As adults, life took us in different directions. Jordan’s career in accounting led him and Elissa to adventures around the world; Bangkok, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, all while I started my own journey in the military as a pilot. Before leaving for training, I threw one last big party to celebrate. I’ll never forget that night at 555 Osborne, a small dive bar in Osborne Village. Jordan showed up with Daniele Kusumoto, and it meant the world to me that he was there, just as kind, grounded, and cool as ever.

We stayed in touch over the years, even as our lives took us across continents. I always imagined our paths would cross again many times over, and I wish more than anything that they could have.

Jordan’s life was far too short, but his spirit and the memories of his humour, kindness, and love for life will stay with all of us who had the privilege to know him. He truly was the kind of person who was liked and loved by all. I had never in my entire life heard a soul speak a single negative thing about him.

My heartfelt condolences go out to everyone who knew and loved Jordan, but especially Jane, Nick, Megan, Kyle, Casey, and Elissa.

Jordan, it's so heartbreaking that you had to leave us so soon.
As my dad always says, we are all just birds passing by — so I believe we’ll meet again, just in a different form.
I’m truly grateful that our paths crossed. I cherished your friendship, your incredible sense of humor, and the warmth you shared so generously.
Thank you for your kindness, for always caring about those around you, and for opening your home to us for so many unforgettable celebrations.
I know you’re at peace now, free from pain.
Love you, mi amigo. I will always remember you

So very sorry for your loss!! Nothing I can say will ease your pain but I am forever sorry for your losing someone so special!

Im not sure I have any words that I can say to make this tragic event hurt any less. I wish you all peace and comfort knowing that he is still with us but is only now in a wonderful new dimension of spirit free of hardships that we all will join eventually.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. He had a terrific family surrounding him to the end. Prayers to the entire family.

• Nick and Jane, My heart aches to learn about your son's recent passing. May you find peace and comfort in the wonderful memories you created together.

Jordan was The. Best. Guy. So kind, thoughtful, smart, funny, and chill. In 2008, Jordy, Jordan, and I lived in Denver, and since none of us knew many people yet, we hung out all the time! We loved exploring Denver...going to concerts, bars, Rockies games, 5Ks, cooking dinners at home, hiking, celebrating holidays, mini golfing, and having picnics in the park. When Jordan met Elissa, he wasn’t the third wheel anymore, and we could finally go on double dates haha! When J&E moved away, we loved visiting them (and Yoshi!) in LA and later in Amsterdam.

It’s not fair that such an incredible human is gone. We will miss him so much. Through Elissa and the whole family, he will live on. We will always remember him and cherish the amazing time we had with him! sending love to all of you ❤️

I'm saddened to hear of your son's passing . It sounds like he had a wonderful life that was cut short. Praying for your entire family as you navigate through this.

Dear Elissa, Nick, Jane, Casey, Kyle, Meg, and family. I’m so sorry to hear that we’ve lost Jordan. We recently reconnected and I was reflecting on how much I loved him and the time I spent with the Fox family, little Gracie included. The humor, the authenticity, the groundedness, the heart… he was the product of a family that share these qualities in abundance and we all benefited from your love by knowing Jordan.

When I lost my dad, the notes and memories people shared with us were medicine. It’s my honor to express my deepest condolences to you today. Jordy was truly a light.

Warmth your way,

Julianne Hoyak
