While completing studies and pursuing a master’s degree in accountancy at the University of Arkansas, Jordan capped off his studies with a memorable Semester at Sea. This opportunity enabled him to travel abroad to several countries, including Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Senegal, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Peru, Ecuador, and Costa Rica.

While excelling in his position at work, he remained a shining light for so many. His incredible worldwide network of friends and associates is a testament to his effortless ability and willingness to share in both the workload and caring of others.
Every stop along his life’s journey was marked by the excellence of achievement, community service, and a love for all of God’s creation. To family, friends, co-workers, and strangers, Jordan was a “cheerful giver”. Jordan had the heart of a servant – giving, loving, and caring.
As an organ donor, his gifts did not stop with his passing. Fewer than 1% of potential organ donors are viable for transplants, but Jordan was remarkably able to give life-extending miracles to several individuals and their families.
“He was a Son, brother, friend and inspiration… missed but never, ever forgotten.”
