Jordan will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Deborah Hawes, his daughter, Ashlynne Hawes, his son, Cole McDonald (mother Crystal). Also mourning his loss are his mother, Dana Switzer (Phil), his father, Warren Hawes (Annie) of Calgary, his beloved sisters, Danielle Hawes (Kumari) of Yellowknife, NT, Tori Elise Hawes and Laine Perizzolo of Alberta, also his special aunts and uncles Pennie and Darrel McNutt of Squamish, Wendy and Jace of Victoria, BC, George Hawes (Marie) and Lynne Hawes of Calgary, Randy Leslie of Lethbridge, AB. and his cousins Daryl Hedin, Maren Walters (Trevor), Daryl Hawes, Calvin Leslie, Brianne Malin, Geoff Hawes (Katrina), Brendon Hawes (Christina) and his grandfather Frederick Switzer (Pat) of Sooke, BC,
He was predeceased by his cousins Devon and Darcy Hedin, his grandparents Lorne, and Barbara Joan Hawes formerly of Calgary, and Lois Switzer, also formerly of Calgary.
Jordan was born and raised in Calgary, AB. He started swimming competitively in 1983 with the University of Calgary Swim Club. He held the Alberta provincial record for 10 to 12-year olds in the 200 meter butterfly in 1987. He won numerous other awards, swimming until 1992.
Jordan was a special big brother to his sister Danielle. As children in Calgary they were best friends, close in age, and inseparable and they continued that lifelong friendship.
Jordan lived in a variety of places in Alberta and BC, settling in Abbotsford and marrying the love of his life Debbie in the summer of 2012. Jordan loved his family and his two children, Cole and Ashlynne. They were his everything. His biggest goal in life was to be a great father. He more than accomplished that goal.
Jordan obtained a Red Seal ticket in 2012 in plumbing. He was a proud fourth generation plumber following in the footsteps of his great grandfather, grandfather, and father along with numerous uncles and cousins.
We will remember not his death, but his daily victories gained through his kindnesses and thoughtfulness, through his love for family and friends, for all things beautiful, lovely and honorable. We will remember the many days that he was victorious over overwhelming odds. We will remember not the years we thought he had left, but the intensity with which he lived the years he had!
We will celebrate your life Jordan...you have left us a legacy of wonderful memories...
Rest in peace, you were loved. ???
