It is with unspeakable sadness and the heaviest of hearts that we share the devastating news of Todd Jordan's sudden and unexpected passing. We are shattered and shaken by this loss. Todd was a dear friend to all of us at Hedgeye and an esteemed colleague.
The pain is immeasurable, and our hearts ache with grief. We are still in shock and struggling to come to terms with the reality of his absence.
As a cornerstone of our firm since its inception, Todd was not only an exceptional analyst, but also a pivotal force as the head of our Gaming, Lodging & Leisure team and Hedgeye’s CFO. Joining our budding enterprise in 2008 ignited Todd’s entrepreneurial spirit. This drove his efforts at Hedgeye and the associated enterprises he worked to create, nurture and bring to fruition.
His impact on our company's growth and success was second to none. His extraordinary work ethic, dedication to mentoring young analysts, and unwavering commitment to excellence will be remembered as an enduring legacy.
Beyond his professional achievements, Todd was a remarkable human being.
A loving and devoted husband for 29 years to his wife, Marybeth, his greatest source of joy was his family. As a father, his love and devotion knew no bounds. He took immense pride in his two children and embraced the responsibilities of parenthood.
Todd possessed a sharp wit and rare gift for humor that brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. His sense of humor was infectious, creating a positive, uplifting atmosphere even during the most challenging times.
The void left by Todd's passing is vast, and our collective grief is overwhelming. We will miss him dearly and deeply. The impact of his absence will be felt not only in the professional realm, but also in the very fabric of our personal lives.
In this time of profound sorrow, we remember and celebrate the remarkable person Todd was—a cherished friend, a loving husband, a dedicated father, and an invaluable colleague.
May God bless Todd and his entire family.
