She was adopted by the Minnesota Rennissance Festival Royal Family, King Henry and Queen Elizabeth, and she adored them all.

She was preceded in death by maternal grandfathers, Bill Gray and Robert Golberg, and four siblings. Jordan is survived by her parents, Paul and Tara Davis; siblings Nicholas and Jillian Davis; maternal grandmother Nancydee Golberg; paternal grandparents, Myron and Paulette Davis; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Special thanks to all the nurses, doctors and staff at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital who helped Jordan through many difficult times in her journey.

i want to share my first real interaction with that dear girl because in a moment you saw a young lady and remembered she was wise beyond her years. day of wrong this year i was christmas, and i had those soft red and white pepper mints as ...they are a favorite of mine. i also had virgin jello shots (jello in shooter cups) i first offered queen rose one of those she declined because she hated the texture, her brother willingly took it from her. i told her i had those mints if she wanted one instead and her face lit up like my skirt (ha christmas tree) and she was overjoyed and said they were her favorite ( like a young person does about their favorite candy) and that her clinic always had them for her. I believe I took out a huge handful and gave them to her leaving her with the most amazing smile i encountered. in that instant she warmed my heart and that interaction will always stay with me. what an amazing young woman i am blessed to have met even if only briefly

There are no words that could ever express the loss that you have had to endure. Jordan was an amazing, strong and very courages young lady. It was not hard to get to know her through the postings that were posted on FB and her webpage. She will never be forgotten!
Love
Friends forever

Thinking of you, praying for you and joining you in the celebration of Jordan's life. While we only met Jordan during her visit to Texas in the company of her Grandma Davis, our friendship with her family kept us aware of her battle.
She was is the prayers of many at Bethany United Methodist Church in Austin and our prayers continue for peace and comfort for her family.
