Jordan Robinson
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.

Jordan, I will always remember you with a big smile on your face, and a calm, warm presence. Fifteen years have passed since I last spent time with you, but I still remember those fond memories I have of you. There are many memories where I don't remember what we were talking about, or where we were going on those road trips, but I do remember, and always will, the feeling and enjoyment of your presence. May you rest in peace, and may your family find strength and patience through this difficult time in the memory of your beloved presence.

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.
August 29, 2026
Jordan, thank you for the time we spent together. I will never forget random adventures we shared but also how fun it was when we were just hanging out with not much to do. You were a kind soul and will be dearly missed by every life you touched. Until we meet again my friend

It has been hard processing the loss of Jordan. Not only because when you lose a friend you also lose a part of your old self. It is like you are grieving the time you can never get back. Jordan was a kind, funny, lovely person. Easily influenced by Alex lol but also has his own mind... He knew it is the best idea to get married to Martyna. I cannot imagine the pain Martyna, the kids and all the family feel right now but I hope there is some healing through our memories and photos. The two of mine are from my 27th bday. 16 years ago...one perhaps very familiar to all. Miss you Jordan. Rest in peace.

Dear Jordan,
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.

Oh Jordan, we did not have that many conversations, just the two of us, but you were a beloved part of CS Manchester, and I always admired how you were the perfect partner for dear Martyna. And I can only imagine what a wonderful father you have been...
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.

Jordan, I'll always be a bit saddened that I missed you on your recent UK visit, but it was such a pleasure to meet the kids, and of course, chat with Martyna like no time had passed at all, yet too much time at the same time. We were part of so many CS events together in your UK life, but more than anything, I was just so happy that you and Martyna got together and I enjoyed photographing your Oldham wedding. I always enjoyed your quietness of being somehow, and how much Martyna meant to you - which is of course a testament to your character. Some of my favourite photos here from camping, Christmas parties, your wedding and barn party, and our kids meeting each other. The guitar and glass in hand one - my comment to that was: I love this one of Jordan!!! And now again, looking at that picture, "Cheers to your life!"
August 27, 2026
Jordan was one of the very first people that I met when I moved to Manchester, and quickly became my new family. I will always cherish our memories. The couchsurfing meetings, shared dinners at Martyna’s place, the trips around England, the couples’ dates, being your groomsman at your wedding, your kindness and sweet smile. Rest in peace, my dear friend. You will be missed!

In Loving Memory of Jordan
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.

I met Jordan in 2005, my very first week attending Ohio University. We were both standing just outside our dorm building (Tiffin) and we became fast friends. I spent a lot of time with him and Michael, his roommate at the time. We would hang out in each other’s rooms, play video games, listen to music, go to parties, eat meals together in the dining hall, and walk to class.
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.

Jordan. Thank you for bringing your calm conversation, engaged listening, knowing looks and humour to every gathering, and guiding us, your Mancunian misfits, through some of the most frenetic and happiest days of our lives. We thank the universe for bringing all of us together at that time.
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

Jordan always came across to me as really cool, calm and collected, just a peaceful presence in any room he was in. He brought good energy to any of the Manchester events I saw him at and you knew it would be a good one if he was there. I'm so, so sorry to his family but I know that they will carry his memory and that they will be well looked after by everyone who loved him.

Jordan was my best friend when I first moved to Manchester. We lived in the same area and he was always teasing me but he was the most caring and loving friend one could have. I wouldn't have been able to survive my first few years if it wasn't for his friendship. He made me laugh and I will forever miss him. Rest in peace my friend ❤️

My love for you is unmeasurable. There are so much great things to say about my son. From my curly haired baby to the man you have become .to the life you have created and all the hurdles to get there. I am so proud of you! I love you so much! I will always remember the nights in England, driving to Manchester while you were hanging out with your CS friends. Bringing your friend home or dropping them off as I’m driving on the ( wrong side of the road). When you finally meet your forever love Martyna and going to buy a cake for her charity event. To my beautiful grandchildren that you & Martyna gave me . I am the most blessed mom for having all the great memories with you! Rest easy my son , I will see you soon enough.
Love, Mom
Love, Mom

Heartbroken to hear about the passing of a coworker and friend, Jordan. He was a genuinely kind, intelligent, and thoughtful person who brought light to the people around him. Far too young and far too soon.
My deepest condolences go out to Martyna, Vincent, Evelina, and the entire family. Jordan will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Rest easy, my friend. ❤️

My calmer half keeping me grounded in Manchester. I'm so glad to have known you, to see what a beautiful family you'd formed, and how happy you were having gone through the toughest of times. I'll miss you mate, but I'm sure your soul is following us, and once we join you, our energies will reminisce in eternal joy.

You will be missed Jordan! Can't believe you are gone, we talked only few weeks ago...

I met Jordan my Freshman year at Ohio University in 2005. I came from out of state and didn't know anyone. He was one of my first and only friends my first semester. We connected over music and I thought Jordan was a really cool guy. Very laidback and we just "clicked". Unfortunately for me, Jordan transferred from OU and we lost touch. Fast forward to 2016. I was performing at Nelsonville Music Festival in the NoFi Cabin (IYKYK) and, during my set, who was walks up but JORDAN! I couldn't believe it. We connected afterward and I got to meet his lovely wife Martyna and catch up. It felt like a full circle moment. After that, we saw each other at the fest for few years after that and I was able to follow Martyna to keep up with their family.
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.

We met when I first moved to Manchester, and you played a large part in me moving to this city and calling it home. We've shared many happy times and I have fond memories of us together, my friend. It's a real pity to lose you. Your spirit lives on ♥️

Always with You♥️♥️♥️

I’ll always feel so lucky to have known you and to have watched your special love for Martyna blossom over the years. I was honoured to be part of your wedding party, and I’ll always hold onto the beautiful memories of the day when we celebrated you and Martyna as the wonderful couple you are.
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. ❤️🕊️

Dear Jordan,
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!
