Jordan was born on September 22, 1960 at Fort Carson in Colorado. His parents were Jordan and Ruth Bridges. Jordan was raised in Washington D.C. He was known by family and friends by Chuck. He attended Central High School graduating in 1978.
Chuck joined the United States Air Force immediately after graduation. He proudly served 21 years, with service in Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
While stationed in Las Vegas, Chuck met and married the love of his life Diana. Together they were blessed with three children. Two sons, Jordan IV and Daniel and one daughter Monika. There was also a special place in his heart for his dog O.D.
After retirement from the military, Chuck began his second career with the Las Vegas Fire Department, who became just like family to him. When Chuck wasn’t working, in his leisure time he enjoyed being with his family, swimming, and listening to music. He was also a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan, and enjoyed the UFC.
Chucks dedication was not limited to his immediate family. He extended his kindness, compassion and selflessness to all. He gave freely and generously.
In the words of one of his nephews “He was one of the greatest men I’ve known in my life, even more so a great human being. This world will not be the same without him.”
Chuck succumbed to cancer on the 13th of January 2020 at Nathan Adelson Hospice.
