Durden of Monroeville; his step-grandmother, Marcia Durden of Jackson; and a host of family and friends.

Jordan loved being outdoors, riding four-wheelers, fishing, hunting, and most of all, Alabama football. His life revolved around his family and friends. He was the best son in the world! He loved his mom, dad, sister, and “MiMi”. If you ever needed help, Jordan was there. One of Jordan's biggest concerns was taking care of his family and his little sister, Candace. We will all miss him dearly. His life was cut short, but was full of great accomplishments. He graduated in 2006 from Hillcrest High School. He continued his education at ITT Tech where he graduated at the top of his class with honors in 2009. Jordan will always be remembered for being tenderhearted and caring.
