Jody Alexander Mattie
1975-2019
Jody Alexander Mattie, age 44.
Born on May 21, 1975, the oldest son of Alice (Connors)
Mattie and the late Wayne Mattie, passed away at Joseph Brant Hospital
in Burlington, Ontario, on September 16, 2019 after a courageous
battle with pancreatic cancer. Jody will be forever missed
by his loving wife of 12 years, Megan (Pilgrim) and treasured
daughter, Bryn Jana Lee.
Jody graduated from St. Francis Xavier University.
He worked at Altimax Courier, FedEx and most recently at UPS Freight
as the Area Sales Manager. He recently received an award and
grateful appreciation for 10 years of dedicated services to
UPS.
Sports were ever present in Jody’s life.
Beginning at an early age, he played hockey, softball, and golf and
disliked losing at any. A long time season ticket holder and
avid Toronto Raptors fan; Jody took great pride in this
year’s championship title.
When Jody walked into a room within moments he would be
captivating people with his larger than life personality, contagious
energy and clever wit. Before long he would have a plan for everyone
in the room that no one dared to veer from. A testament of
lives he touched was evident during his short illness by the
overwhelming support he received from his network of friends and
colleagues who travelled to visit, sent well wishes and told stories
about his life.
He was idolized by his three brothers, Jamie (Nicole),
Johnny, and Jerry (Rieneke); nephew Jack and niece Andi Lee.
He is also survived by many cousins, aunts, uncles, and wonderful
friends.
Jody is predeceased by his sister Jana Lee, grandparents
Margaret and Francis Mattie and Mary and Reg Connors.
Funeral Mass will be held Saturday, September 21, at 2:00pm
in St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Tracadie, Nova
Scotia.
Donations can be made in trust to Jody’s daughter,
Bryn. Email transfers will be accepted at brynjanaleetrust@gmail.com,

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Smith’s
