Born In: New Waterford

Passed in: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Passed on: October 20th, 2013


It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of Jordan Gillis on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013, in Waterloo, Ont.
Born in New Waterford, Jordan was the son of Michael and Kim (Gardiner) Gillis.
Jordan graduated from Breton Education Centre and also played on their rugby team. He also played minor hockey in New Waterford; but his greatest passion was listening to music, going to live concerts and watching movies.
At a young age, Jordan left New Waterford and found employment in Ontario with RIM (Research In Motion) a division of BlackBerry. He was a very easy-going compassionate man; helping others came naturally to Jordan. He had a great love for his parents, sisters, brother and all family members.
Besides his parents, Michael and Kim, Jordan is survived by his brother, Jonathan (Ashley — who is like another daughter to the family); two sisters, Sarah, Jessica, New Waterford; maternal grandparents, Jerry and Jean Gardiner, Grand Mira; paternal grandmother, Casilda Gillis, New Waterford; uncles, aunts, cousins and his special friend, Sphinx.
Jordan was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, John A. ‘Spike’ Gillis.
Visitation will take place on Friday from 2-4, 7-9 p.m. in the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 380 Smith St., New Waterford. The funeral mass, officiated by Rev. Jim Oliver is Saturday at 10 a.m. in St. Leonard’s Church followed by interment in St. Michaels Cemetery. Reception to follow in the KOC Hall, Plummer Avenue.
As an expression of sympathy for Jordan, memorial donations in his memory may be made to the Salvation Army or the SPCA as Jordan loved animals and had many as pets. On line condolences can be expressed at www.vjmcgillivray.ca.
Jordan (is a Hebrew name – descending)
A firm person; his outlook is flexible; is exact in his work and play
Gives joy and comfort to those around him;
One whose intuitive sense is developed;
Has a gleam in his eyes;
If he says it, you had better listen;
He is industrious and resourceful.


Condolences
