Jordan was born in Wichita, Kansas, on September 24th, 1992, weighing in at almost 10 pounds at birth, the doctor commented “Call Nebraska and Oklahoma now”. He brought so much joy, happiness, and love to his parent’s life. Jordan was such a sweet laid back little boy. In his youth, he loved spending time with his siblings, going to movies, playing sports, skate boarding, fishing, and just being outdoors in general. He Loved food and his Dr Pepper & BBQ Chips. If you couldn’t find him, we all knew to look in the kitchen! He loved his siblings and followed them around so not to miss out on anything. He was a great brother and was down for any adventure. He would bug his siblings until they would get up and go! He was a ride or die and partner in crime with his siblings. Jordan did not love freely and when he loved, he loved deeply and unconditionally; he had such a tender heart. When Jordan became a father, he was so proud. Oakleigh brought out such a special new shine to his beautiful blue eyes and Lucca brought a new shine and a new joy to Jordan’s heart. All of the special things Jordan anticipated doing with his children, watching them play sports, going to dance recitals, having new adventures with them, and watching them grow. Family was so important to Jordan, he loved spending time with them and treasured his time with them. He cherished his memories of the special holiday gatherings with his family and extended families. Jordan was a loyal friend who would do anything for them; all of his true friends, became his family. He was the life of the party and always the class clown! He was very quick to respond with his witty & outrageous remarks. He did not like uncomfortable silence and wouldn’t stand for it so he would use his quick witty remarks to lighten the atmosphere. His life was filled with so many dreams and possibilities.
