It is with heavy hearts the family of Jordon (Jordy) Christopher Ochoski announce his sudden passing at the age of 48 years.

Jordy is survived by his parents Bob and Judy Ochoski, fiancée Carrie-Ann Bettinger, brothers Jason (Susan) and Joel (Amy), niece Quinn and nephew Jackson. He is also survived by loving “Auntie” Anne-Louise; uncles Peter, Barry and Michael; Grandma Gwen Cull; cousins Pamela, Kim, Adam and Angela; and Otto his faithful and loving dog.

Jordy was a loving partner, son, brother and friend. He was loyal, protective and generous. While he portrayed a tough exterior, he was a ‘softie’ inside as those closest to him will attest. “It’s all good”, he’d say when asked how he was. His family and friends are heartbroken and he will be missed by all who loved him.

Jordy spent 25 years serving his country as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. He served, with distinction, on five tours in Bosnia and Afghanistan. He completed his military service as a Warrant Officer in Ottawa as an ACISS-CISTM ITSEC INSP. Upon retiring from the military, Jordy went on to a successful career as a computer specialist with Department of National Defense and the Canadian Border Security Service.

Friends and family are invited to visit at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Ave., Ottawa on Monday June 3, 2019. from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the Memorial Service at 11 o’clock. Interment will take place at the National Military Cemetery. A reception will follow.

Donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association would be appreciated in lieu of flowers.
