His Life

Story of our Daddy

April 24, 2011

He was the son of Kenneth E. Jordan & Julia (Mantooth) Jordan, He had 1 Sister Judith Gustin, 3 brothers, James R Jordan, Daniel Jordan & Robert Jordan, He grew up in a small town, loved to take walks down by the creek that ran threw the little town, he would even pitch a tent and sleep down there sometimes threw the summer months, He loved the outdoors. Lost his brother James when he was 17 in a car accident,  He married our Mom Carol Jean at age 18, two years later my sister Carrie was born, and then another two years goes by and my brother Michael was born, Dad was 25 when I (Jamie) came along, We lived in a little white house in the town of Greensburg. Dad was the greatest, always worked hard for his family, we didnt have much, just each other, and in the end, thats really all that matters! Dad would take me arrowhead hunting, mushroom hunting, take hikes threw the woods. Anything outdoors is where he loved to be! He always had a smile, very caring & loving person.. Of coarse I would always say I was his favorite & my sister would argue with me & say she was but  Dad would step in & say you are both my favorite!! But really... I still think it was me, shh dont tell my Sis :) He lost both his parents at the age of 34 to cancer (Same age I was when we lost him)  He has 5 grandchilden who he loved very much, Austin which is my sisters only child, Michael Jr & Makayla are my brothers 2 children & Kordell & Kenneth which are my 2, I named my youngest after my Daddy, You could see Dads face light up everytime someone said Kenny's name around him, Oh and I cant leave out Jackson, Dads Dog... He called him Bubba Boy!! Dad loved that dog, Im so Happy he got to know all 5 of our kids, and they all were old enough to know & remember him, his youngest Grandson is Kenny, he was 10 when Papaw passed away! We have Alot of memories with Dad & they are all good ones. He was dianosed with Stage 4 lung cancer at the age of 58, he passed away 9 months later at the age of 59, it doesnt seem fair, he was way to young, had alot more life to live! But I know he lives threw us kids, & esp my sister since she looks just like him!! We can say we have a very speical angel watching over us now! We will see him again! We love & miss you so much Daddy, you live in our hearts! <3
