David Earl Jordan

On December 29, 2020, the world lost an amazing man. To know our dad was to love him. He was a man of many talents but his greatest one was his ability to make people smile. Dad spread love and laughter wherever he went and to everyone he met. He loved to fish, hunt, and play golf but most of all he loved the lord and his family. Our dad was constantly singing about Jesus and doing silly dance moves.

Dad’s legacy will always be his family and the clear impact of his love on the lives he touched, and those lives were many. He never had to try to be a good person, he just let Jesus shine through him and it showed every day. Dad was always the best about checking in on people at the perfect time in their lives, somehow, he just always knew the right thing to say to bring an extra smile and some sunshine to people’s lives. His generosity was unmatched.

There was never a single event that our dad has ever missed out on, no matter how busy or hectic life was at the time. We know he was proud of us, but it was only because of the support and the sacrifices him and our momma made every day that Cason and I have been able to make strides towards our goals in life. He was always present in our lives with a smile, support, and a corny dad joke.

Dad loved harder than anyone else you would ever meet. He adored his family. He always said he just wanted us to be happy, and we definitely were. You could not help but smile around him as he was always cutting up and being goofy. He also taught Cason and I what a perfect role model should look like. He loved our momma with his entire heart. He looked at her like she was his everything, because she was. He was a shining example of what it means to love like Jesus does, unconditional and never fading.

David Jordan was predeceased by his mother, Thella Burgess Jordan; his sister, Brenda Martin; and grandparents. He is survived by his wife, Windy Jordan; his daughter, Kylah Jordan; his son, Cason Jordan; his father, Richard Jordan; Siblings, Linda Martin, Mike Judkins, Jeannie Alexander, and Ray Jordan.
