A note from Jordan
For those of you who dont know, Jordan lived every day to the fullest. These are words from Jordan’s Facebook:
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

All had to do was meet Jordan once, and a part of him stayed with you - His “impish” sense of humor, his sharp wit, his depth or one of a thousand other things. Because of that - how unique he was - he lives on in the memories of the MANY people he has touched. To get an idea of all of the people his age that he impacted, please visit at the “wall posts” section on Jordan’s Facebook account. Take some time to read the memories of Jordan that we have shared.
To the Manns,
While I’m sure words can offer only so much comfort, please remember - people did more than just like Jordan. They respected him for his character, good humor and kind nature. He is, and was, a fine individual, and a good man.

Mimi, Philip and I were deeply saddened to learn of Jordans death. As a father myself, I can’t imagine a heavier loss. The world has lost someone very special. We hope that you can find some comfort in your many special memories and in the thought of the happy years you shared with Jordan. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Gary, Mimi and Philip
