Obituary for Jordan Jacob Garber
Jordan Jacob Garber (Jay)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our dear son Jordan (Jay), on December 29, 2020 at the age of 25 years.
Jordan was predeceased by his Great Granny Irene Morrison, Baba Ruth Garber, Gramps Jim Dixon, and Auntie Ricki Sossin. He leaves behind to mourn his parents Harry and Deanna Garber, Gran Marilyn Morrison (Jim Edmonds), Auntie Dennise Davis (Sean) and Uncle Rob Dixon (Ashley). Also remaining to cherish his memory are Uncle Charles Morrison (Sherry), Auntie Barb Morrison, Uncle David Garber (Colleen), and Auntie Ellen Hill (Bruce), in addition to numerous other family members and many friends.
Jordan was born in Winnipeg on September 18, 1995. He grew up in West Kildonan, attending Luxton School, Andrew Mynarski School, and Tec Voc High School. At Tec Voc, Jordan discovered his love of broadcasting and production. He made many good friends at Tec Voc that he cherished to this day. Jordan was a natural performer; he loved an audience and the opportunity to entertain. This is apparent in his many podcasts that he worked diligently on, and he had a large national following in the wrestling community. He interviewed many big names in wrestling and was always excited to share the next upcoming star.
He had a profound love of all sports, but he was passionate about baseball and hockey. He was a huge fan of the Winnipeg Goldeyes and the Winnipeg Jets. He met many players in his time and loved to collect autographs. Jordan had an uncanny mind for sports statistics; he could tell you anything about any player on any team. He grew up watching many games with Mom and Dad, and Sundays were spent with Gramps watching football and NASCAR. Jay travelled to Chicago with his parents to see the Cubs play in Wrigley Field. He got to see his Toronto Blue Jays play in Rogers Centre, and even had tickets right behind home plate. He saw the Minnesota Twins often on our many trips to Minneapolis when he was growing up – in addition to seeing the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves play against the New York Knicks.
Jordan loved animals. If friends and family wish to honour Jay’s memory, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society.
Jay was a kind and gentle soul with a quiet sense of humour. He will be missed beyond measure.
Love you, Pal.
