Mr. Jordan, 76, of Bogue Chitto, died Friday, July 19, at his residence. He was born in McComb, MS, July 27, 1947, to Travis Jordan, Sr. and Bernice Walker Jordan.
Mr. Jordan served his country in the United States Army.
He was a loving husband and father, an unselfish man and wonderful provider. He was the best husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend anyone could ask for. He was a man of integrity and leaves his family an excellent example of how to live and be the best person you can be. He absolutely loved his grandbabies no matter how old they were. Mr. Jordan had a varying heart and always help anyone in need. His favorite pastime was watching the boxing matches on television. We knew not to bother him during that time! He also enjoyed coon hunting or just listening to his dogs. He loved his job and the people he worked with. He made us proud to call him dad, granddad and friend.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Sandra Lauren Nations Jordan; his parents; granddaughter, Jordan Brittany Roberts; and brother, Travis Jordan, Jr.
He is survived by his children Stancie Jordan Roberts and Nicholas Drew Jordan; brother, Kenny Jordan (Betty); sister, Marylin Jordan Crum (Tommy); six grandchildren, Jordan Roberts, Brittany Jordan, Jakab Jordan, Abigail Jordan, Emily Jordan and Alexis Jordan; two great grandchildren Rylan Roberts and Stetson Craig; and other family members, Jerry Robison and Jackie Bessonette.
The family would like to thank Arden Hospice, his nurse, Mrs. Jackie (who has retired), and Mrs. Angil. They were such caring and faithful caretakers. We thank everyone who was so helpful during this time of illness. We also want to thank Keith and Sharon Guy and Guys Pharmacy.
