JORDAN MICHAEL FOX
It is with heavy hearts that we share the departure of our dear Jordan (Jordy), beloved husband, son, brother, uncle and friend who left this world on October 7, 2025, at the age 42. He died peacefully in the arms of his wife with their dog, Milo at his side. In his last days, Jordan was surrounded by love, and he knew it.
His humour, patience and kindness made life richer for everyone who knew him. In life Jordan was a lover of live music, playing guitar and drums, and travelling. He could almost always be found in a band t-shirt - a personal uniform he wore until the very end. He met his wife, Elissa, at a concert at the Bluebird theatre in Denver, Colorado 17 years ago and they have been inseparable partners ever since. Due to his career in accounting, Jordan and Elissa (and their dogs, Yoshi and Milo) were able to live in many exciting locations (Bangkok, Los Angeles, Amsterdam) and travel throughout the world. Favourite trips include Japan, the Italian coast, meeting family in Mexico and a Safari in Tanzania. Jordan had an immense amount of love for his family and no matter how far he traveled, he always made it a priority to come back to Winnipeg. He loved family dinners where they reminisced about fond childhood memories and funny stories that seemed to grow with age.
He is survived by his wife, Elissa Fox (Heidke), parents, Nick and Jane Fox, and three siblings, Casey Fox (wife Laura, children Madeline and Lincoln), Kyle Fox (wife Haley, son Walter) and Megan Fox (husband Wally Debets, children Ines and Conrad) all of Winnipeg. Jordan's life was far too short, but we shall keep him alive and with us always as we carry his memory and love in our hearts. The world has shifted and the light is different now.
"May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you guide your way on."
The family would like to offer deep gratitude to Dr. Flameling, Dr. Wong, Dr. Jeffrey Graham and the many caring, dedicated, nurses, doctors and staff of OLVG Amsterdam, St. Boniface Hospital and the Palliative Care Program, all of whom went above and beyond to care for our darling Jordan the past three and a half years during his journey with colon cancer.
Thank you to Vanessa Mayer and all those who offered financial contributions through our GoFundMe. It meant so much to be supported by friends from around the globe, enabled us to seek out any possible treatment options available, and relocate to Winnipeg this past December. We are truly blessed by a generous community of family and friends.
Lastly, thank you to all those who offered emotional support and gave the gift of their time and friendship along the journey. You have done much to lighten the load.
A Celebration of Life will be held, with a livestream available for those who wish to attend remotely or from afar. Please see ethicaldeathcare.com for more information.
