Jack Groombridge passed away suddenly on Wednesday, December 8th, 2021. He was 22. Jack was curious and caring, and he had a positive impact on so many of us. He is remembered by his parents Kate Brown and Brian Groombridge, his girlfriend Kendall Corcoran, family, friends, co-workers and so many more.
Jack was loyal, kind and weird in the best way. He could make even the worst situations fun and found humour in everything. He worked as a carpenter and was the hardest worker by far on every site. Jack was always there when someone needed a helping hand, and had every tool a man could ever ask for. He pushed himself in life and in his work; the first to climb to the top of the building and the last to leave a party. Jack loved nature, was wise beyond his years and always a gentleman. His laugh could make anyone laugh. He was the biggest dreamer with more plans than he had years. He was taken much too soon. There are no words to describe how big a loss this is for anyone who was lucky enough to know Jack.

I taught Jack at Fern, and have many fond memories of him in our school community. At a young age Jack was curious and enthusiastic about the world around him. His love for nature and talent for drawing was evident. He was always kind to the people around him and his smile was contagious. I am saddened by this tragic news. He will be missed. less

It is inconceivable that he is not with you anymore. I didn't really know Jack very well but my camera lighted upon him quite often as he bombed around the playground with his friends, leading some game or adventure. His smile was sometimes mischievous and always open and I remember him as a busy, sometimes earnest little boy, considerate to my son who was the year below him. A good lad. As we parents would talk, Jack, Jack (Donoghue) and Jackson would be playing. My last photos of Jack were taken on his high school graduation and so I am sorry not to have met the bearded young man he became. My love and sympathies to both of you and Kendall too. less

They never had to spend time together to know they were friends. Too many fond memories to even begin to post. Our family will miss him forever and he will always be remembered. less

I am terribly sad to learn about Jack. As a neighbour I was always happy to see him and it was a treat to watch him grow from a sweet little boy to a solid young man. He was kind, appreciative, polite and willing to help out all the time. I remember him as a cute little guy smiling and chatting with me on the sidewalk, and as a mature young man, sharing his plans while helping out at my house. I can't begin to express my condolences - it is truly a tragic loss of Jack. less
