Three days after missing hiker Jordan Naterer鈥檚 tent and backpack were discovered in Manning Park his mother Josie wrote a short obituary on her Facebook page, Wednesday July 7.
鈥淛ordan鈥檚 final path was eventually determined,鈥� it reads.
Jordan, 25, was last seen Oct. 10, 2020, after telling friends he was planning a solo overnight hike. There were few clues to his movements until his gear was discovered by volunteer searchers earlier this week.
Josie鈥檚 post states: 鈥淎fter accidentally losing the hiking trail in unexpected snow conditions at Frosty Mountain鈥ordan Naterer fought a courageous battle to escape out of treacherous terrain. His remarkable distance travelled through drainages under the worst imaginable blizzard conditions was a testament to his super-human effort to survive.鈥�
Josie described Jordan as 鈥渁 dear son, brother, grandson, proud Newfoundlander, (who) called Vancouver his new home. He was a brilliant, young, talented man with an enormous heart and loved life and his family.鈥�
RCMP was not immediately available to comment, however Josie also stated an investigation is continuing.
