Jordan Douglas Rollins was born the son of Julie Anne Lathrop Rollins and Lloyd Max Rollins on March 28, 1987 in Craig, Colorado. He spent his childhood and attended schools in Craig. Jordan graduated from Moffat County High School with the class of 2005.

Following high school, Jordan began a career in the oil industry and spent time in Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Colorado, & Wyoming. He completed his certification for Power Plant Operations at Colorado Mountain College. He then worked for Sinclair Wyoming Refining Company in Rawlins, Wyoming and bought a home in Saratoga, Wyoming. In early 2019, he moved to Loveland, Colorado, where he worked as a lead production operator for Legacy Energy Services. Jordan moved back to Craig in April of 2020 to be closer to his family.

One of Jordan’s many passions was spending time outdoors - hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, scouting wildlife, driving the country roads, and off-roading. He enjoyed hunting his whole life. Family hunting adventures were always a priority for Jordan, as was hunting with his buddies. He formed many lasting friendships online with fellow hunting enthusiasts and was always eager to swap hunting stories with them. He was a proud lifetime member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and was a member of many other sportsman organizations.

Jordan was admired for his strength, resilience, and positive attitude. He always had words of encouragement for those that needed to hear them. When Jordan walked into a room, you knew there was going to be good times and lots of laughter. His sense of humor will be fondly remembered by family and friends.

Above all, Jordan was a devoted uncle and treated his niece, Alana, and nephew, Abel, as if they were his own children. Jordan will be forever loved and cherished by his family and close friends who had the privilege to love and know him.

Jordan is survived by his parents, Julie Lathrop Rollins of Craig, CO and Lloyd Rollins of Gilbert, AZ; three brothers: Christopher Rollins of Grand Junction, CO; Kyle (Alyssa) Rollins of Craig, CO and Jeremy (Julio) Rollins of Denver, CO; niece, Alana Rollins of Lubbock, TX; and nephew, Abel Rollins of Craig, CO. He is further survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and a large circle of friends.

Jordan was preceded in death by his grandparents, Orson & Ina Rollins and Richard & Jean Dewey.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made in Jordan’s memory to the “Help Abel’s Fight” Gofundme campaign.
