Jordan was born in Mobile, AL on November 26, 1994. He was a graduated from Baker High School.

Jordan worked in many service industries where he enjoyed helping others. He had a caring heart and a concern for others. Jordan was a talented writer and artist. He knew how to put his emotions onto paper, whether it was through a descriptive writing of his day or a drawing of a cartoon character. Jordan enjoyed any game relating to strategy and competition. Even though he was a competitive player, he was never a sore loser. He always honored the other players with respect and a “good game.” He knew how to lighten up a room with conversation or a “hey, what up!” There was never a dull moment when he was around.
