To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
Obituary
It is with great sadness that Jordan’s family announces his passing. A beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend, Jordan was taken from us far too soon.
Jordan was born in Ohio to Jim and Melinda Robinson alongside his older brother, Jimmy. Although his parents later went their separate ways, both remained an important part of his life. He graduated from Westerville North High School and later attended The Ohio State University, where he earned a degree in Business Finance. He had a naturally analytical mind and especially enjoyed talking about stocks and financial news with his dad, Jim.
From a young age, Jordan had a free spirit and a love of adventure. He traveled to many places, some including Germany, France, Hawaii, and England. In 2009, he moved to England with his parents, where he made wonderful memories and lifelong friendships through the Couchsurfing community.
It was in England that Jordan met his future wife, Martyna. They married in 2012 and soon moved to the United States, where they built a loving family and welcomed their two children, Vincent and Evelina. Jordan was a proud and devoted father who cherished his wife and children and always put his family first.
Family meant everything to Jordan. He especially loved spending Christmas together and treasured his regular conversations with his mom, Melinda, back in Ohio. He found happiness in life’s simple pleasures, including traveling, camping, quiet moments, and time at the beach. He loved music and enjoyed playing guitar and ukulele, and he could always appreciate a good movie, especially Pulp Fiction and Dead Poets Society.
Jordan’s kindness, curiosity, humor, and adventurous spirit touched the lives of many. His friendships reached across countries and throughout the many chapters of his life, leaving lasting memories wherever he went.
Above all, Jordan will be remembered for the love he had for his wife, children, and family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his memory will forever remain in their hearts.

I just found out about this terrible news. Jordan and I didn't talk too much but we were part of the Manchester CS group at an important time in our lives. He was the nicest guy and a loving husband to my dear Martyna. I hope with time the family will find strength from the fact that he made so many lives better.


I remember the first time we met, at a CS house party during that magical Manchester winter, with snow all around and an igloo in the back garden. It was there that you first met Martyna and it was clear from the beginning how well you suited each other. Two of the kindest, most caring souls, with a strong sense of values and a wacky sense of humour.
It was an honour to have known you, to have enjoyed your company and conversation during those wonderful Manchester days and nights. To have witnessed you and Martyna get married as the two happiest people in the world, And, from a distance, how you blossomed into a beautiful family. You sure had a lot to be proud of.
May your kind spirit and your beautiful soul never be forgotten.
I have a fond memory of a conversation we had, in Wuppertal of all places, about having a partner speaking another language with their family and not yet understanding that language. I remember thinking how intelligent, nuanced, and full of emotional intelligence your perspective was.
May you rest in peace and love.
And all my thoughts, prayers, and tenderness go out to your loved ones, who now have to learn to live with you not physically around. I have no doubt that you will live on in their hearts.












I still remember the very first day we met, at Linda’s house. From that moment, I felt his warmth – an energy of pure kindness and sincerity that never faded. Over time, we grew from in‑laws into true, close friends.
One evening that stays with me is when Jordan and Martyna came to meet little Viktor for the first time. Viktor, being a little baby, managed to pee on Jordan not once, but twice – and Jordan just laughed and said it was good luck. That was so him: always finding the bright side, always making everyone feel at ease.
We spent so many beautiful evenings together – full of laughter, deep conversations, and the simple comfort of being with people who felt like home. During my last few years in Indianapolis, living close to Jordan and Martyna meant everything to me. Their door was always open, and we shared holidays, quiet late‑night talks, and countless precious family moments.
Jordan, thank you for all your warmth, your humour, and your huge heart. You will never be forgotten.
To Martyna – my heart breaks for you. You were his rock, his partner, his everything. Please know that I am here for you, always.
To their beloved children – your dad was a one‑of‑a‑kind man, and his love for you shone in everything he did. May you always carry his light with you.
To Jim and Linda – no parent should have to say goodbye to a child. I cannot imagine your pain, but I hope you find some comfort in knowing how deeply your son was loved and how many lives he touched.
Jordan, you will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear friend.





















All three of us ended up wanting to transfer out of OU and it was solely because of Jordan that I switched to Ohio State. Jordan, Michael and I rented a house together in Columbus and those were some of the best times of my life, hilarious stories and lifelong college memories I will cherish.
We lost touch after I graduated but we were extremely close for a time, both as friends and as roommates. I'm devasted by the news of his passing. I'm so sorry to his family and my thoughts go out to them (and to anyone reading this as well) during this sad time 💔
Jordan will always hold a special place in the college chapter of my life and I'll never forget him.

It's easy to see how you and Martyna found each other. Two gentle, kind-hearted souls, so down-to-earth yet keenly curious, free-spirited and welcoming, embracing all kinds of people and cultures from across the world, and nurturing your wonderful family. May Martyna, Evelina and Vincent draw strength from all the communities, including your CS MCR tribe, that you passionately supported and made your mark on. xxx





Love, Mom

Jordan and I may have only been close for a short time but he had an outsized place in my life story. My heart goes out to Martyna and his children.















































































































































































Your kind and caring nature, and the beautiful memories you leave behind, will live on in Martyna, Evelina, Vincent and all those who were so lucky to know you. ❤️🕊️

I can't believe you are gone.
You were such a huge part of my first years in Manchester. I remember our parties, outings and loads of fun we had. Your wedding day is a very happy memory of mine, I'm so happy I was a part of it. You will be missed dearly!
