A long-time Maple Ridge family is grieving the loss of their son and grandson Jordan McIldoon, 23, killed in the mass in Las Vegas, Sunday.

A total of 59 people were killed and more than 500 injured when a gunman with automatic weapons set up in the 32nd-storey window of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and shot at the crowd attending the Route 91 Music Festival.

His parents, Alan and Angela McIldoon, are expected to return to Maple Ridge today with the body of their son. Friends and family are grieving the loss of someone who always helped out.

I stood in the House to acknowledge those impacted by the senseless tragedy that happened in Las Vegas on Sunday evening. My heart goes out to all those affected.

Alan and Angela McIldoon put out a Tuesday, thanking people for their support.

They said Jordan was at his happiest while at the family香蕉视频直播檚 cabin at Missezula Lake.

香蕉视频直播淭here he spent countless hours riding dirt bikes, wakeboarding, snowmobiling and hanging with his friends from the community who were like his family.

香蕉视频直播淥ur son, Jordan, was a compassionate young man who lived a life full of adventures,香蕉视频直播� they said.

香蕉视频直播淔rom a young age, he was fearless. From finding him perched on the roof of the barn at age two or having him leap into the deep end of the lake before he could swim, he was always on the go. He grew up on our acreage in Maple Ridge and so a love of the outdoors was born within him.香蕉视频直播�

Jordan香蕉视频直播檚 parents were also grateful to everyone who helped.

香蕉视频直播淔rom the people who stayed with Jordan that night and held his hand, to the first responders who had to rush in to an unimaginable scene, we would like to thank everyone for their incredible love and support.

香蕉视频直播淛ordan did his best to make sure Amber was safe and we know he would have helped others had he not been injured himself. His was a life well lived. He was our only child and no words can describe our pain in losing him,香蕉视频直播� they said.

Dana Nugent has been a neighbour of the family for years.

香蕉视频直播淛ordan was an incredible guy. He would give you the shirt off his back,香蕉视频直播� she said.

On one occasion, Nugent showed up at her house with her pickup truck full of furniture and Jordan just marched over and started unloading it. When her truck was making a funny noise, Jordan quickly checked it out.

香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檙e the best neighbours you could ever dream of, the whole family.香蕉视频直播�

Jordan香蕉视频直播檚 dad Al just mowed her lawn without being asked. Following a storm, they both showed up to clean Nugent香蕉视频直播檚 yard.

Mayor Nicole Read called the violence 香蕉视频直播渦nbelievable香蕉视频直播� and said Maple Ridge hadn香蕉视频直播檛 even responded to the truck attack in Edmonton Saturday, which injured five, when the mass shooting in Las Vegas occurred.

She extended her sympathies to Jordan香蕉视频直播檚 parents.

香蕉视频直播淭o lose a child over this kind of senseless rage and violence 香蕉视频直播� it香蕉视频直播檚 just unbelievable. Maple Ridge, though, is good at wrapping love around people after such tragedies, she added.
