Jordan graduated from South Central High School and EHOVE JVS in 2006. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from The University of Arizona. Jordan was employed at Brass Pelican, Holiday Lakes, where he had many friends and customers who adored him. He was formerly employed by Beacon Behavioral Health in Fremont as a drug and alcohol counselor.

Jordan loved classic rock and country music. He loved to play the guitar, enjoyed gardening, and art. He was a Cleveland Guardians, Cleveland Browns, and Ohio State fan.

Jordan loved deeply and unconditionally. His kids were his world. He loved his family, friends, his customers at the Brass, and clients that he counseled. He had struggles in his life, but fought them with his family's love and support. He found a way to use his experiences to help others through their struggles. He once said "Funny thing about life is the bad times never last forever and you are never holding on alone." He lived his life that way, always trying to be there for others.

We will miss you and love you always.
