JODY CRANE
October 16, 1973 - August 27, 2020
Jody was born on October 16, 1973, in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Rhonda and Arthur Crane. He graduated from South Winnipeg Technical Centre (SWTC), with diplomas in culinary and welding. Special thanks to his mentor from SWTC, Ray Rajotte. Jody's love of cooking brought him all over Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. It was in 2002, when he began a job as a chef in Pickle Lake, Ontario, that he would meet the love of his life, Jennifer. Jody saw the opportunity to change careers and became a miner, where he excelled further. He received his mine rescue training and became active Dräger man. Jody and Jennifer were married in 2009 and had two wonderful boys together, Tanner and Taylor. As a family, they enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing and a general love of the outdoors. Jody's family was his pride and joy. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Jody is survived by his wife Jennifer (nee Pickett); sons, Tanner and Taylor; parents, Arthur and Rhonda Crane, as well as his sister Sarah Phillips (nee Crane). Numerous brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and many other extended relatives also survive.
Jody's family would like to say thank you for all of the excellent care he received from the VON Nurses, especially Lucia. Thank you as well to the doctors and nurses from CancerCare.
A visitation to honour Jody's life will be held on Tuesday, September 1, 2020, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in the WESTFORT CHAPEL, 420 West Gore St., Thunder Bay.
Should friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations made in memory of Jody to a Trust Fund for his two boys (payable to Jennifer Crane - Bank of Montreal Savings Account #04838093376) would be greatly appreciated.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Jody. I remember the many evenings at the old Winnipeg Arena when Jody was there with Art watching the Jets. They were great times and I will always remember them. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this difficult time. - Posted by: Roger Friesen (Friend of Arthur) on: Sep 01, 2020
