Known by his call sign “Skoden” — honoring his Metis roots — Jessy was deeply connected to the Ukrainian community in Nanaimo, where he was a devoted member of a Ukrainian Catholic church. His family, including his ex-wife and stepmother, hailed him as a hero for Ukraine and his two young children, Maya and Elliot. His mother described him as someone who lived to make a difference, and his church and Ukrainian Canadian veterans’ group praised his courage, kindness, and dedication to Ukrainian culture. His death brings the total number of Canadian citizens killed in Ukraine since the war began to 28. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
