In Loving Memory of

JORDAN RUBEL

May 19, 1991 – May 23, 2025

With a very heavy heart, we share the passing of Jordan Rubel on Friday, May 23, 2025, at the age of 34.


Jordan brought creativity and humour into every space he entered. He worked for the City of Winnipeg and found joy early in life doing landscaping and hands-on work that connected him to the outdoors.


As a gifted musician and artist, Jordan was known for his talent on the guitar and for the beautiful paintings he lovingly created for his family. Jordan had a great sense of humour and could often be found rewatching or quoting episodes of The Office, a show he loved for its wit and sarcasm. He embraced an active lifestyle and took pride in maintaining his physical health.


Jordan had a brilliant memory, especially for trivia. He was unbeatable when it came to Harry Potter, and Disney facts. He was a passionate sports fan, never missing a Jets or Leaf’s game and always cheering them on with unwavering loyalty. He especially loved going to Bomber games with his dad, sharing their love of football and creating memories that will be cherished forever. Jordan shared a special connection with his mother, they loved Christmas baking and laughing at Seinfeld episodes or even just hanging out on a Sunday afternoon. He never hesitated to be his authentic, hilarious self. His strong bond with his family and closest friends was evident in everything he did, and his presence will be missed beyond measure.


Jordan is lovingly remembered by his loving parents, Sharon and Dave; his siblings, Julie and Jesse (Kina); his grandmothers, Olga Sorby and Patricia Rubel; his loving aunts and uncles (Mark and Manon; Jaime and Kelly; Sandy and Palmer), his cousins Jacqui and Bryson, his Toronto family, his Dauphin family, and his beloved cat, Luna. He was pre-deceased by his grandfathers, Tom Rubel and Ron Sorby. The family cottage at Lac Lu was Jordan’s happy place, where their family will forever hold dear the time they spent together. Jordan’s laughter, stories and spirits filled the air, leaving behind memories the family will always treasure.


Jordan will be remembered for his strength, toughness, his heart, and his enduring love for the people around him.


A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00am on Sunday, July 13, 2025 at the Centro Caboto Centre, located at 1055 Wilkes Ave.


In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, or a charity of your choice.


Jordan’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.

Dave, Sharon, Jesse, Julie,

 

Almost all of the time I spent with Jordan was in our childhood, especially between grades 2-5 at Linden Meadows School.

 

When I think of Jordan in that time period, I think of a friend who was loyal, fearless, and most of all fun to be around. Some of my favourite memories are of playing street hockey with Jordan and the other neighbourhood kids until the sun went down.

 

I fondly remember watching Schwarzenegger movies in the summer at Laclu, and entering our Air Cars project in the Grade 5 science fair together.

 

I will always remember laughing with Jordan and his willingness to join on an adventure.

 

My deepest condolences to you.

I know Sharon from high school and the occasional visit to the Winnipeg Humane Society. Although I have never met Dave, Jesse and Julie, I can only imagine the pain and heartbreak you are all dealing with. My deepest and sincere condolences to the entire family on the loss of your precious son and brother.

Dear Sharon, Dave, Jesse and Julie,

 

Please know that our thoughts are with you during this unimaginably difficult time. Jordan brought love and joy into our lives.

 

One thing I will always remember as his kindergarten teacher, is how proud he was to be a big brother. Even at that young age, it was clear how much he loved and cared for Jesse and his new baby sister Julie.

 

With heartfelt sympathy,

Lori, Paul, Dane and Jenna

To the Rubel family and friends of Jordan's. I wish to convey my deepest and sincerest condolences for the loss of this much loved man. I had the opportunity on various occasions to see Jordan grow from a boy into an amazing man. I close my eyes and see him and my son Sean as boys at Rushing River laying in the water as the fast moving rapids rushed over their heads. They had so much fun together. It was a fantastic weekend with Dave, Jaime myself and our boys. Never to be forgotten, much loved and always in our hearts RIP Jordan. NAMASTE 🙏

Sharon and Dave and family,

My deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved Jordan. It is a beautiful tribute to him in words and in video. This quote by Paulo Coelho has brought me a lot of comfort over the years and it still does. I hope for you and your family as well. "We never lose our loved ones. They accompany us; they don't disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms."

I first met Jordan when I was 14 in 2003/04. Jordan had huge heart, he was strong and witty. My first memories of Jordan were him and my brother listening to music. I remember watching Jordan play hockey almost twenty years ago and he always gave everything he had. Ill never forget the good times we had playing music together! And I'm going to miss talking to Jordan about music, sports, guitars and life. I have a heavy heart and I'm thinking about the good times we shared.

To the Rubel family, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Jordan and I shared a close friendship in our early 20s while working together at Adamson Roofing. That summer, he picked me up every morning before work, and his constant positivity and quick humour turned long, exhausting days into some of the most memorable times of my life.

Even on the toughest mornings, Jordan had a way of lifting spirits and making people laugh. He was the kind of person who made a lasting impact without even trying. I’ll always be grateful for those days and the friendship we shared.

Wishing you strength and peace during this difficult time. Jordan will always be remembered with love and admiration.

With heartfelt condolences,

Scott MacDonald

Dear Sharon and Dave, We are heartbroken at the tragic passing of Jordan. A child could not have been more loved and cherished than Jordan. We remember the many heartfelt converstations we had with you on Hollington celebrating our sons' achievements as they found their passion in life. Your devotion, encouragement, and support gave Jordan the determination and skills to achieve all that he dreamed of. We only wish our words bring you some solace and strength as you go on this tragic journey that no parent ever wants to be on. You are in our hearts and prayers. Pat and Greg Ozechowsky

Dear Sharon, Dave, and the Rubel family,

I was deeply saddened to learn of Jordan’s passing. While I didn’t know Jordan personally, I have such fond memories of working with Sharon during my time volunteering at the Winnipeg Humane Society. Her warmth and dedication always made such an impression on me.

 

Reading about Jordan’s life, it’s clear he was a remarkable young man who brought joy, creativity, and laughter to everyone around him. The special bond he shared with his family, especially those Christmas baking sessions and Sunday afternoons with Sharon, speaks to the love you all cherished together.

 

Please know you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.

 

With deepest sympathy.

Thinking of your family during this difficult time. It didn't feel real hearing the news of Jordan's passing. I have so many great memories growing up accross the street from the Rubel family. I remember when Jordan pretended to be "the muscrat" at our birthday parties at Fort Whyte Centre when he would go under the table and surprise the other kids by going after their feet lol.

Jordan will be missed and loved always.

Big hugs to the Rubel family.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this loving, beautiful photo tribute says it all. There are no words for how saddened I am for you, Sharon, Dave, Jesse and Julie at Jordan's loss. His spirit and memory will live on in all of those whose lives he touched. I have fond memories of Jordan growing on Hollington Road, the gingerbread houses our kids smashed on the driveway at Christmas, the swims in the neighbours' pool, mini soccer, to name a few. And those Leafs still haven't brought home the cup! As a young man Jordan was a huge help to me with landscaping at my home. He was always there with a smile and tremendous strength and a drive to work. He obviously had so much passion for landscaping and being outdoors. Jordan will be dearly missed by so many. Sending love to you all, Martha xoxo
