I had the pleasure of meeting Jodi through her girlfriend, Brandie Geerts, my niece, when she first brought her to a family picnic. She experienced some redneck fun with Brandie’s boy cousins. Her smile and laughter was infectious. Sincerest condolences to Jordan, Bennett, family, and friends.

My wife and I followed your journey keenly. We are absolutely heartbroken that it has turned out as it has. Heaven has gathered another angel to it’s host of angels. Wishing you the best in your future, and wishing you a journey that will help you to live with your loss in time.

I first met Jodi when she worked with us as a Summer Academic Orientation leader. She was such a positive force on the team. Her high energy, enthusiasm and her sometimes mischievous smile were infectious. After she returned from her Bond University she became a colleague. Jodi was a catalyst for positive change and always saw the possibilities that existed (even when others didn't). I share my most sincere condolences. Jodi will forever be remembered and loved 💜.

Words can’t properly express the feelings of loss with Jodi’s passing.
Growing up Jodi, Jill, and Scott were our doppelgänger cousins. One each our age and always a blast to hang out with. As we’ve become adults we may have travelled in different corners of Canada but those memories of time together growing up are forever a part of who we are today.
Reading the great memories of others here is a wonderful reminder of how many lives Jodi touched and how loved she is. Her memories will continue on with us all.
Much love,
Craig and Rose

My most sincere condolences to Jodi's family. I remember meeting Jodi as a Soph when starting at Western. She seem to have boundless energy, and this amazing warmth just shone from her. She was an amazing listener, the great friend, and someone who would make your day better with her presence. Will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Jodi's family.

Jodi was the person who made it possible for newcomers fleeing the war in Ukraine to work at Western and learn English here. She changed the lives of 36 individuals and their families. And she changed mine for sure. I will always look up to you Jodi and will always be grateful for all the kindness you generously shared with the whole world. Rest in peace, beautiful soul, you are forever in our hearts

We met working at Western, but what I’ll treasure most is the friendship beyond the office. Jodi was generous, kind, and truly one of a kind. I miss her laughter, wit, strength and her ability to make everyone feel seen and valued. Love you. Miss you, Jodi.❤️

To Jodi's family - I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I was fortunate enough to celebrate O-Week with Jodi and her love for UWO lit me up. She had such a gift for remaining calm on the outside while putting out fires all over. A true beacon. Miller was one of my high school besties, and I'll never forget when Jodi texted me to ask if I had any dirt on this guy she was about to go on a date with. No dirt, just immense joy knowing two really kind people found each other. I'm sending you all so much love and strength 💔

It’s hard to find the right words to express the sadness of losing someone so young, vibrant, and full of life. Jodi was incredibly smart, endlessly funny, and brought such joy to everyone around her. Her passion for her work, her kindness, and her constant willingness to help others left a mark on everyone who knew her.
This is truly a tragic loss, and my heart goes out to her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched. May her memory be a source of strength during this unimaginable time.

Sending all my love to Jodi’s family, I am so sorry for your enormous loss.
I had the privilege of working with Jodi at Western. I didn’t report to her but sought her guidance constantly so I called her my “mini boss” which quickly evolved into “Tall Boss”. Jodi was an impactful mentor and quickly turned into a friend. I have many fond memories from conferences, office pranks, and the occasional casino visit. Jodi brought sound judgment and a calming presence to so many difficult situations in residence and I know she will be deeply missed by the Western community.
