Jordan Thoms Obituary-Death Ottawa, ON
It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of Jordan Thoms, a cherished leader, friend, and pillar of Ottawa’s running community. His untimely loss has left an immense void in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him, running alongside him, and experiencing the boundless warmth and encouragement he so freely gave.
As the dedicated run lead of the Sparks Street Run Club, Jordan was far more than just an organizer—he was the very heart and spirit of the group. His incredible ability to bring people together created a welcoming space where runners of all abilities felt supported, motivated, and inspired. Whether it was someone’s first run or part of a seasoned routine, Jordan made every participant feel seen, valued, and part of something bigger than themselves. He transformed what could have been ordinary runs into moments of meaningful connection and camaraderie.
Originally from Prince George, British Columbia, Jordan carried a deep sense of community with him wherever he went. He shared that sense of belonging effortlessly, forging friendships that extended far beyond the pavement. His kindness, positivity, and genuine love for people left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered, creating bonds that will endure long after his passing.
Jordan was also a beloved son to his mother, Marlene, and a cherished brother to Ryan Malchow and Garrett Thoms. His love for his family was evident in everything he did, and the strength of these relationships shaped the incredible person so many came to admire. To his family, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. While no words can ease the pain of this loss, we hope that you find comfort in knowing how deeply Jordan was loved and respected by so many in his wider community.
In tribute to his memory, an upcoming memorial run will serve as a reflection of the life he lived—one rooted in connection, movement, and the spirit of togetherness that he so passionately fostered. This run will honor the legacy of the man who built a supportive, inclusive community, and it will stand as a testament to the many lives he touched along the way.
Though Jordan left us far too soon, his legacy will continue to live on in every stride taken by those he inspired, in every new runner welcomed with kindness, and in every shared moment of encouragement along the journey.
Jordan Thoms will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always celebrated. May his spirit continue to run alongside us all.
