Jordan will be remembered for his humor and ability to get us all laughing, his beautiful smile, walking in his garden that he watered profusely because he had an imaginary green thumb, the 3 am canoe journey YouTube Videos on blast, his love for the holiday seasons, and buying things in bulk, we will miss his short answer responses and all the quiet times we had together, the cold car rides and the heater blaring to keep ourselves warm.
