Obituary
MARCHAND….
Jordan Marchand was always smiling, learning, dreaming and hoping. During his four year battle with cancer, Jordan proudly completed his computer engineering degree from the University of Waterloo and worked for Conversys Inc. Although Jordan never realized his dreams of buying a Mercedes and working in California, he continued living his life quietly, but with zest and spunk. Jordan, 25, died holding his mother’s hand in his Star Wars decorated room at London Health Sciences Centre Tuesday, January 9, 2007. Jordan was the cherished son of Robert and Mary Ann Marchand, the beloved brother of Nathan and Sheldon Marchand and Ingrid (Paul) McDermott and special grandson of Flora Duquette. Predeceased by grandparents Arthur and Leona Oberle and Oscar Duquette. Jordan will also be missed by Comet, his Chihuahua. Friends will be received by the family from 7 to 9pm Friday at the A. Millard George Funeral Home 60 Ridout Street South, London, and at Holy Family Catholic Church 777 Valetta Street, London, on Saturday, January 13, 2007 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. where the funeral mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Jordan’s family thanks London Health Sciences Centre oncology, cancer, and palliative care staff and physicians for the outstanding care Jordan received. Donations may be made as flowers, or as the gift of life (blood donations) or to the charity of your choice. Online condolences accepted at www.amgeorgefh.on.ca

Dear Robert,Mary & family:
Let me refresh your memory Mary. I grew up next door to you in Carlsruhe.My parents are Loretta & Ernie. Yvonne and I have been in contact for some time. I met her in Florida last spring. She sent me the news of your son Jordans passing. I read his obituary with interest. He accomplished much in his short life. You must be proud to be his parents.
Mary I have always admired you courage and determination.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
sincerely……Frances Stroeder

Dear Ingrid and Paul
We were sincerely saddened to read of the passing of your brother Jordan. I believe he lived his life to the fullest in the short time he was with you and enjoyed it all. None of us can ask for more. It was with interest I noted that his Star Wars memorabilia was in his hospital room. He loved Star Wars and now he has his own star in the heavens. To Robert and Mary Ann; you have a very special family, and you have been blest with love and a faith that will see all of you through the days and months ahead. You are in our hearts and prayers.
Dear Mary Ann, Bob, Sheldon, Nathan, Ingrid & Paul,
You are all on my mind and in my heart during this very sad time. Wish I could be there to personally pay my respects to Jordan.
I recall an enjoyable visit with you in the Summer of 2005, and the kindness you all showed. That was my first time meeting Jordan. It was a very special occasion for me, Mary Ann, to finally meet Bob and the three other wonderful young men in your life. In a brief conversation with Jordan, he seemed like a remarkably calm, patient and confident young man, given his circumstances.
I am sure, Nathan, that you will miss your beloved partner in programming. I think of you both every week, with a heart filled with gratitude, when I read the online Loblaws flyer. You and Jordan are to be highly commended for your exceptional skills in making web pages accessible for blind and visually impaired people like me and my friends.

To Jordan’s family,
I knew Jordan as a classmate, a project partner, and a friend at UW. He had a great work ethic, paid great attention to detail. Also, he was easy to talk to and always very positive and pleasant. Please accept my deepest condolences and sincerest sympathies.

Jordan and I met during my first year at UW while residing at St. Jerome’s. In this short time, I came to know Jordan as an intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate individual. I’d like to extend my deepest condolences. He will be missed by all.
I met Jordan early on at UW, but mostly got to know him well during the second half of our stay. Between working with him on school projects, and living with him as a roommate, I
