The community of Saint Charles is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Jordan Laskowski, a beloved 14-year-old boy who died in a tragic accident on April 4, 2025. Born on September 26, 2010, Jordan was a bright light to his family, friends, teammates, and coaches.
Jordan, known for his passion for sports and kind heart, was on the official roster of the STC Blue-Pony Saint Charles Baseball Team and was preparing to play high school football later this year. His sudden death has left a deep void in the lives of those who knew and loved him.
His father, Scott Laskowski, shared a heartbreaking message online:
“I lost my best friend yesterday in a tragic accident…. This pain I’m feeling is overbearing…. I never got to say goodbye to my son…. He was my best friend and everyone knew that…. I wish I could trade places with him… I was so excited to watch him play high school football this year…. He was an amazing kid. Everything just ripped away… I love you, Jordan Thomas.”
Jordan was remembered not just for his talent in sports, but for his kindness, hard work, and ability to bring joy wherever he went.
Former coach Bill Galivan paid tribute:
“I had the good fortune to coach Jordan. He was a fun, kind, hard-working young man and liked by everyone. The world is a little less bright without him. So very sorry for you and your family, Scott Laskowski.”
Friend and supporter Alphonso Sharting also offered words of comfort:
“Devastating. I have your back and Jordan is a great kid and a man, and he will forever be in your heart and with you. For what is eternal will always be connected to its source. We are all here for you and we will all do what we can to help you.”
The entire Saint Charles community has come together in grief and support, surrounding the Laskowski family with love, prayers, and shared memories of a young life gone too soon.
