In loving memory of Jeff Gillies

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and tragic loss of Jeff Gillies. Jeff was a devoted husband, loving father, passionate coach, and pillar in the hockey community across southwestern Ontario.

Jeff leaves behind his beloved wife, Brytni, and their four beautiful children; Lawson, Baker, Hayes, and Palmer. His life revolved around his family, and his love for them was evident in everything he did.

Jeff was the heart behind Battle Hockey, a business he and his partner built with passion and purpose. Through his work, he touched the lives of countless athletes, inspiring them not only to compete but to grow in confidence and character. Jeff had a rare gift - the ability to make every person he met feel seen, valued, and supported. His energy, humour, and unwavering positivity made him a role model for both kids and adults alike.

This fundraiser has been created to support Brytni and the children as they navigate life without Jeff. The funds will help ease financial burdens in the days ahead and support the family's long-term needs, including education and care for the children.

If Jeff made a difference in your life - through hockey, friendship, or simply by being Jeff - we ask you to consider donating or sharing this page. Let's come together to honour his legacy and show the Gillie's family just how loved they are.

Thank you for support.
