Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jordan was such a wonderful young man who exemplified true dignity and character. His intellect, sense of humor and compassion for others is how we will remember him. He was the true definition of a friend to Alex, always supportive, never judgmental, and willing to help in any way when called upon. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

I remember when Jordan was born and seeing your delight at being parents for the first time.
Your love for Jordan and his love for you has been obvious to everyone as you shared his journey with us on Facebook. I have heard so many stories from Catholic High teachers, parents and former students talking of his character and love for life and family.
I hope you find some comfort in your faith, your memories and the knowlege he is always with you.
Praying for you all!
