March 6, 1988 – May 31, 2021

Jonathan Christopher(JC) Tordoff, born March 6, 1988, passed away May 31 2021 aged 33 at his home in Vernon B.C.

JC was passionate about his music and spent many hours writing and recording it. He would record his music under the name Just Criminal. He also loved to cook and was an amazing chef. He spent his childhood and adolescence moving between B.C. and Alberta where he loved to go dirt biking and recording with his cousins. JC had also just started up his own business of building gas bikes, he called it Toyrantula Gasbikes after his dads Toyota truck with the same name.

JC was gifted with a heart that was generous and was giving. And although he suffered many health complications due to his Diabetes, he never ceased having love, hope, or compassion for others.

JC is survived by his mom, Debbie Barton (Steve Puskas), brother Nickolas Tordoff (his son Oliver), brother Tyler Cockshott, Paternal grandparents Harry and Charlaine Tordoff, Aunty Tara Cameron (Tordoff) Aunty Cindy Severin, Aunty Tracy Holtz and many cousins. Also left to mourn are his Step-dad Brian Cockshott, Step-mom Sonia Tordoff, step-siblings, Joleane (Sam) Panter, and Derreck Panter, as well as so many family and friends he made along the way. Also feeling the loss of his “dad” is his faithful four legged fur-child – Chuckie.

JC was predeceased by his dad Tyghe Tordoff, Maternal grandmother Ruby Green, and his uncle’s Christopher Barton and Benny Green.

Oh, please don’t feel guilty

It was just my time to go.

I see you are still feeling sad,

And the tears just seem to flow. 

We all come to earth for our lifetime,

And for some, it’s not so many years.

I don’t want you to keep crying,

You are shedding so many tears. 

I haven’t really left you

Even though it may seem so,

I have just gone to my heavenly home,

And I’m closer to you than you know. 

Just believe that when you say

my name, I’m standing next to you,

I know you long to see me,

But there’s nothing I can do. 

But I’ll still send you messages

And hope you understand,

That when you time comes to “cross over,”

I’ll be there to take your hand.
