We grew up with the Karsts as Rick and our dad Bobby were close friends for a long time. We just heard this incredibly sad news about Jord and want to let you know that our hearts go out to you all. ~Madelaine & Gabrielle
I am deeply saddened to hear of this passing of life our realm has experienced. Due to the passing on to the heavens of Mr. Jordan Joseph Karst's physical life. My deepest condolences to the Karst family. I had the opportunity to meet Jordan at our range C.D.T.S.A. in Calgary, AB when our weekly steel challenge meets were held on Thursday'. As well as the 3-Gun competitions he would organize for our club in Milo, AB. I want to express my gratitude towards Jordan for being such a good man and positive force within our community.. He was one of the first members to talk to me at C.D.T.S.A. He made me feel like "what I was looking for" in a club that I wanted to be a part of. He made me feel comfortable and welcome when I was feeling shy. Thank you for your kindness and putting a smile on my face. I know you spread your joy around with many. He was one of the reasons I would look forward to attending the events. Your fun, good times and banter back and forth will be missed. Thank you for being a friend to me. I truly appreciate the kindness and compassion you showed. I will miss you my friend until we meet again.
Shocked and saddened to learn of Jordan’s passing. On behalf of my Wife and Family, please accept our deepest condolences.

To the Karst family from the Mar family, we are truly sorry to hear of your loss. We offer our thoughts and condolences during this difficult time.
So I found about Jordan's passing through a shooter's discussion forum. I immediately recognized the surname and wondered if there was a relation to Richard and reached out. To my dismay, Jordan was Rick's son. My heart sank. Parents should never outlive their children. Little children should never see their parents die. The discussion forum thread on Jordan has been absolutely overwhelmed with well wishers and people who really enjoyed Jordan's company. I used to compete but in Ontario. Based on what I have seen, I would have loved to compete with Jordan. I look so forward to meeting him in the resurrection. My condolences to you all.

Jordan and I met by chance and we started talking about a shared passion of making films. We were developing some projects together. He was sometimes affected by the treatments he was undergoing but he would gain some strength back and we would continue. He was always dynamic and resourceful. I wish we could have worked together for many years. I was honored to be his friend and my condolences to his family. - C.K. Kangau.
Sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to the Lensen/Karst family. Jordan was truly a special man and loved by so many. We are heartbroken for each of you on this devastating loss.

I REALLY NEED TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY FAMILY! I always just rely on the moms and dads and grandmas and uncles to do that and now I have none of my own pictures of my cousin, Jordan. Ben and Jordan were the cousins closest to me growing up... I don't know why... maybe it was geography maybe it was age. Maybe I respected their views on Star Wars and Indiana Jones and how they exposed me to the fun of Nintendo. But they are a part of my childhood memories FOREVER as are their parents, my aunt Sharon and Uncle Rick. I knew Jordan only a little bit as an adult. I guess jobs and lives and partners and kids and the way life kind of branches out makes it harder for cousins in separate places to stay in touch. But, I guess that's something Jordan's death has taught me: the importance of keeping in touch and organizing family gatherings even though hanging out with your extended family seems tedious and painful at times. The few times I did get to see you in Calgary, Jordan (often facilitated by Ben... thank you, Benji!), I was impressed by your hobbies and your ability to listen... Karst men aren't known for that. We did have a heated debate about Greta Thunberg on Facebook once and, again, you were able to listen and consider more than one side. I love you, Jordan, and I just want to say God is a She and I am glad you are in her warm embrace or else travelling through the universe as a bright beam of light and love. I will miss getting to see you and enjoy your company irregularly. Love, your cousin Jennipher Karst.
Jordan, heartfelt thanks for being such an treasured friend to Todd and, by extension, to the wider family of Meeks. We have been inspired by your courage and determination, cheered by the sight of you savoring a DQ Blizzard with your girls, and profoundly saddened by your loss. We will keep you present in our thoughts and prayers, and in our continuing care for your beloved Anita and Kenzie.
Judy and I extend our deepest sympathy to Jordan’s family. We were able to meet Jordan because of his friendship with our son Michael. I was able to enjoy some great times in his company at Michael’s stag and the morning of Michael’s wedding when the groomsmen stayed at our home and got ready for the the big day. Many other times followed at various birthday celebrations. Jordan Rest In Peace.
Our condolences go to you Anita and Kenzie. Jordan was a good friend to our son, Jason and son-in-law Mike.
First time I saw Jordan was when he was about 13. I came home from work and he was laying across our couch. When he got up I couldn't believe how tall he was for a 13 year old. Over the years when ever we saw Jordan he always had a smile on his face. Always seemed calm and relaxed. The time he and you, Anita came to our house for Christmas about 7 or 8 years ago, Jordan brought a bottle of brandy and offered everyone a shot. I am not normally a brandy drinker but thought I guess I should, I mean it is just a shot and it is Christmas. I drank the shot instead of sipping it because it didn't matter if I sipped or shot it, it would be the last of it for me. Didn't take more than a few minutes and I disappeared into our bedroom and passed out on the floor. Had to be the floor because the room was spinning out of control. That was the first time anyone had knocked me out with just one shot and he didn't even touch me. LOL. That story has come up over the years since, and I always have a chuckle when it is told. Greg.
When the boys were older, maybe 16, Jordan would come over and play computer games with Jason and Bryce. It really struck me that Jordan was so kind to Jason's little brother, Bryce. Bryce was 4 years younger, after all, and most teenagers would have sent him on his way! But Jordan included Bryce like he was one of the group. Ronnie.
Jordan will be missed by many people including us.
Take care and know our thoughts are with you
