It is with deep sadness and with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Jordan Micheal Iszcenko, surrounded by loving family on October 22, 2018 at the age of 20 years.
Jordan was a larger than life kid, and anyone who met him would agree. Jordan was loved by all and will be missed for his gentle nature, inspiring positive attitude and compassion for others. The void that his departure leaves in our hearts and lives is truly indescribable. It is only surpassed by the gratitude we have of being fully loved by him, and entrusted to have been given the gift of his life for the past 20 years. Jordan faced huge health challenges for 5 years with unwavering grace and courage. Despite these challenges, Jordan graduated from Victoria School of the Arts with honors and completed 2 years at NAIT in Digital Media Cinematography. Jordan had many interests and talents like film making, Ukrainian dancing, playing the saxophone and violin, skiing, baseball, soccer, and gaming on his PS4. Jordan loved all things Ukrainian, and was a strong, invaluable member of the Ukrainian community. He was a youth instructor and summer camp leader with the Ukrainian Youth Association and a member of the Dunai Ukrainian Dancers. He is survived by his supportive and devoted parents, Kevin and Sonia Iszcenko; look-alike younger sister, Roxy; his unconditionally loving grandparents, Anne Brytan (Baba B) and Toby and Margaret Iszcenko (Papa and Baba); as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He will be welcomed into heaven by Michael Brytan (Dido); Eugene Iszcenko (Godfather and Uncle); and Noella Ostash (Aunt).
We wish to express our gratitude to Dr. Flanagan, Dr. Paul, Dr. Amigo, and the compassionate staff of the Stollery Children’s Hospital, Cross Cancer Institute, and Grey Nuns Palliative Care Unit.
A Celebration of Jordan’s Life will be held on Sunday, October 28, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex, 9615-153 Ave, Edmonton.
