George Wayne Jordan

He was born on April 4, 1941, in Luverne, Alabama and attended Lee High School. Following high school, Wayne enlisted in the United States Navy and served for four years, stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii that included a tour of duty in Tokyo, Japan and was released from active duty to serve in the US Naval Reserves until 1964. After his service to our country, Wayne returned home to join the City of Montgomery’s Fire Department, rising to the rank of Fire Marshall upon retirement. After Wayne’s retirement from MFD, he joined the staff of Jackson Hospital as the Head of Security until his second retirement in February 2002. Wayne’s work ethic and being a consistent provider, and steadfast supporter of his family, coworkers, and numerous friends is undoubted.

He is preceded in death by his father, Arthur Lee Jordan, and mother, Flarice Odessa Welch of Luverne, Alabama, his loving wife, Patricia Ann Jordan, and his brothers Paul Edward Jordan and Charles Windom Jordan, both of Montgomery, Alabama.

He is survived by his daughter, Heather Jordan Killough of Montgomery, Alabama (Jon) and his son, Mark Alan Jordan, of Atlanta, Georgia (Debbie). Wayne is also survived by his sisters, Dorothy Jordan Melton of High Point, North Carolina, and Lyn Jordan Nobles (Bill) of Montgomery, Alabama. Wayne was blessed with five grandchildren, GeorgeAnn Elaine Killough, MaryEllis Jordan Killough, and Frances-Grace Renee Killough, of Montgomery, Alabama, and Brody Oliver Jordan and Tatum Elizabeth Jordan, of Atlanta, Georgia, along with several nieces and nephews.

He was a devoted son, husband, father, and grandfather. His proudest moments were always grounded in his Christian Faith, the memories of his late mother, “Beulah,” his marriage of 54 years to his wife Patricia, the births of their children, and his grandchildren.

He enjoyed Alabama football, fishing, reading the Bible, history, and visiting over the telephone with former coworkers from MFD and Jackson Hospital.
