JORDAN ANTOINE

GAUDRY BRAUN

February 4, 2002 – May 17, 2025


The night - the loss - is a terrifying expanse. One cannot see any sort of path forward, let alone a way out of the darkness. Yet, we still have the legacy of the day. We have everything we built - the memories - from when the sun was shining. The trees and the flowers and the houses do not simply disappear because it has grown dark outside. All that we had does not leave just because the sun has set. I haven't lost my brother just because he has passed away. He is still my brother.

Jordan brought warmth and radiance to every soul he met. His light is far from gone - it lives in each of us - torches and sparks and comforting hearths that we stoke together in his name. Each person who remembers and loves Jordan is another piece of kindling, another log on the fire, that keeps us warm and safe even when the sun is set.

And I think the greatest thing, and perhaps the most difficult thing for us to fathom here, in this seemingly endless night, is that the sun never stops shining, even when we can't see it anymore.

It has only set, and it will rise again.

Our Jordan, our ‘sunshine boy’…cherished son of Jason and Janine, much loved brother of Jude (Courtney) and Jersey, and a loving uncle to baby niece Octavia. Jordan’s passing is a crushing blow for all who love him – Grandmaman Madeleine Gaudry, oncle Claude, uncle Curtis and aunty Joanna, his cousins Tanner and Taylor, and the many other family members and friends who know him. Jordan is predeceased by his Gramma Donna Braun, Grampa Gerry Braun and his Grandpapa Roland Gaudry.

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

  • I met Jordan at the U of M pow wow, and his incredible spirit just absolutely shone through. A year or two later, I had him model for me, beadwork. Everyone on set that day completely fell in love with him and his bright light of a personality. I just found out about him today as a friend came to my table at a market and told me, and I couldn’t be more shocked. I am so so so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Jessie Pruden (Friend) on: Jul 13, 2025

  • I am so sorry for your loss. I remember my time teaching Jordan in the Divisional Senior Choir so fondly, and remember him to be such a kind soul. My sincerest condolences to your whole family. - Posted by: Justin Odwak (Teacher) on: Jun 08, 2025

  • My thoughts and heart are thinking of the entire Braun family. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. - Posted by: Kelly Carvelli (Coworker/teacher) on: Jun 07, 2025

  • The first time I really met Jordan was in sixth grade on the way to divisional choir camp. I had been one of the last people to get on the bus and I couldn't find a seat. My choir teacher saw an empty seat next to a group of eighth grade girls and said something along the lines of; there's a perfectly good seat right there, go sit down, they won't eat you. I, being a sixth grade boy. didn't want to sit with a bunch of eighth grade girls. And I was desperately looking around for an alternative. My saviour was none other than Jordan, who was sitting with Ryan, Jurard and Evan. I didn't even know Jordan super well, I think I'd met him maybe once or twice previously but I think he saw my aversion and shouted out loud "Hey, you can come sit with us!" I did and I enjoyed the hour-long plus ride to choir camp. That group and especially Jordan made me feel really welcome, and this was the kind of person that Jordan was. I'd only met him a couple more times since then, but he was always great to talk to and I know that his presence will be missed by all of us. - Posted by: Anon (Friend) on: Jun 07, 2025

  • I worked alongside Jordan during his nursing practicum. He was a joy to be around and made everyone smile. Jordan was bright and showed a genuine interest in people’s stories. The world has lost a wonderful nurse, colleague and friend. My deepest condolences to the family. - Posted by: Marina (Colleague) on: Jun 06, 2025

  • We are so sorry for your loss. We knew Jordan only during his time as a nursing student. Full of vibrant energy and affectionate personality, Jordan was polite and endearing to many. He will be remembered by so many. A too short life in this world, he will be missed by both those he knew, and those who he trained so hard to help in the career he had only just started. Jordan reminds us to reach out to be supportive of all who may need help. - Posted by: Brian Hydesmith (Acquaintance) on: May 24, 2025
