Jordan Boyd Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 15, 2013.
It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden passing of our much-loved son, Jordan James Louis Boyd, on August 12, 2013. Jordan passed doing what he loved best, playing hockey. He was so excited to be drafted by the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the QMJHL and we were so proud of him.
Jordan had a smile that would light up a room. He was kindhearted, and a true teammate, always considerate of others. He made many, many friends during his short time with us. Jordan was born in Halifax on May 23, 1997. He had just completed grade 10 at the Rothesay Netherwood School in Rothesay, New Brunswick.
Jordan is survived by his parents, Stephen and Deborah Boyd, his brother, Gregory, sisters Kelsey and Jillian, grandparents, Louis and Dorothy Boyd and James and Marjory Kirby, his uncles Mike (Lisa), Chris, David (Julianna), Tim (Sarah), Peter (Joanne), Ian (Kelly), Wayne (Sandy), and 23 cousins.
Visitation will be held from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm on Friday, August 16 at J.A. Snow Funeral Home, 339 Lacewood Drive Halifax. The funeral service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 17 in St Agnes Parish, 6903 Mumford Rd Halifax, NS. A private family burial will follow the funeral. Funeral arrangements are being handled by J.A. Snow Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the B&DMHA Players Assistance Fund or the Rothesay Netherwood School for an endowment to be established in Jordan's name. The family of Jordan James Louis Boyd wishes to thank the community of Bathurst, the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, Bedford Minor Hockey Association, the Rothesay Netherwood School, and all of the friends and family who have supported us in our time of grieving.

Dear Stephen, Debbie, and entire Boyd family,

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Jordan but I was friends with Mike, Chris and Dave at St FXU.

Interestingly, our youngest daughter, Cassidie, was a friend of Jordan's (we didn't know the Boyd family connection until now) and they were snap-chatting just a day before his passing. She is shocked and deeply saddened, as is everyone, at such a sudden and tragic loss. She described him to me as supportive, helpful, and the nicest guy that you would ever meet. I would expect nothing less, considering I would describe his uncles in the same way.

I can't imagine what your family is going through now. Please know that our family is praying for all of you and take comfort in knowing that Jordan touched many lives, on and off the ice.

Being a alumni of the Bedford Blues and having been in the same skates as Jordan 10 years ago, I can relate to how excited he would have been to attend his first QMJHL training camp. As shocking as this week must have been for your family, I hope you can find some comfort in knowing how big of an accomplishment it is to make it this far, and the legacy such a great kid left behind.

I am sad beyond words for your family as I know your loss is immeasurable. As Jordan's principal for two years at BJH I was continually impressed by his respectful, kind and caring manner towards everyone around him.

My deepest condolences.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Boyd and family - I send my condolences and prayers for your loss. Jordan was a pleasure to train with this past summer. I will miss his sense of humour, his positive attitude and his work ethic. He expressed his excitement and happiness about training camp to me several times over the summer and it is a shame he was not able to enjoy it. He will be missed very much by myself and many others for years to come. I hope you are doing OK.

To Steve, Debbie, Gregory, Kelsey and Jillian
Our family is heartbroken at the news of Jordan's passing.
Rowan (a team mate and competitor) of Jordan's always enjoyed respected him and considered him a friend.
The past few days have been filled with fond memories, stories, laughter and tears.
Jordan was a great hockey player. He loved the game and continued to strive for excellence.
The out pouring of support and love from the global hockey community has been immense and truly defines his legacy. Albeit far too soon.
Jordan was a kind soul. A trusted friend to many. A great team mate. He was fun and uplifting. He was a role model. More than anything, he was a true gentleman.
As a family suffering in deep sadness you can be proud of Jordan and know that everyone in our community, regardless of jersey colour is behind you and share in the pain of your loss.
Sincerely
Shawn, Susan, Liam, Kate, Rowan and Callum O'Brien
