Jordan loved to watch sports, especially football and while he married into a Michigan State family, he always cheered for his home state Georgia teams.  He volunteered as a coach for his kid’s basketball teams for several years.  One of his favorite places to be was up north on East Twin Lake in Lewiston spending quality time with family and friends boating, fishing, and snowmobiling.  Jordan was excellent at yard games and beer olympics; he was undefeated in the corn hole games that were played up north.  He liked to travel and loved a good swim up bar.  Jordan also liked to listen to music and traveled to many different cities to attend Ed Sheeran concerts, his favorite artist.  He loved to dance and was always the center of the dance floor whether it was a wedding, a party, or even the grocery store.  Jordan was larger than life, he had a huge personality and made everyone feel like they were his best friend.  He was incredibly generous and made a positive impact on the lives of those around him.  Jordan, who was always the life of the party, had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to make people laugh.  His everything though, was his wife and children; he absolutely adored them and cherished all the time they spent together.
