JORDAN COLES It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Jordan Coles after a lengthy illness on August 11, 2004 at the age of 14 at Health Sciences Centre. He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his parents, Gary and Lisa; and his brother Curtis. Jordan also leaves to mourn his grandparents, Greg Livingstone and Pat Morrow and Don and Anne Coles. Survived also by Uncle Mark, Auntie Kathy, Jazmin and Dylan; Uncle Steve and Auntie Stacy; Uncle Mike, Auntie Andrea, Morgan and Taylor; Uncle Harold, Auntie Allison, Victoria, Dane, Olivia and Cecilia. Jordan touched so many lives. He had an unforgettable smile, a beautiful spirit and a wonderful sense of humour. He made us laugh so often. He had a love of music that he will be forever remembered for. He loved to sing songs, all kinds of songs, especially songs from Disney. Jordan attended Henry G. Izatt Middle School and had many friends there. He truly touched the lives of so many and in turn was touched by many people that came into his life. Jordan had Gaucher Disease Type III and battled this disease all his life. In the past months it was more difficult for him. He endured so much, but remained so brave. He lost his fight and is now at peace. We would like to thank all his care givers, the nurses at Childrens Hospital Health Sciences Centre, especially on CH4 and the team of wonderful doctors he had. We will all miss you Jordan and you will live on in our hearts forever. Visitation will take place on Sunday, August 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd. A celebration of Jordans life will be held on Monday, August 16 at 1:00 p.m. in Charleswood United Church, 4820 Roblin Blvd. with Rev.
