Trustee Nathan J. Jordan Obituary

United States Air Force Veteran, Trustee Nathan Jerome Jordan of 210 9th Street, Vienna, Georgia, died Monday, February 16, 2026, at his residence.


The funeral service will be held on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM in the sanctuary of the Bethel Baptist Church in Vienna, Georgia.  The burial, with military honors, will follow at the Vienna City Cemetery in Vienna, Georgia.


Nathan Jerome Jordan was born on December 18, 1955, in Vienna, Georgia. He was the beloved son of George W. Jordan and Leona F. Jordan, and he grew up in a family that valued education and hard work. Nathan attended the public schools of Dooly County, where he excelled in his studies and graduated as the valedictorian of  Vienna High School in 1973.


Jerome’s sense of duty led him to serve the United States with honor and distinction in the United States Air Force. His commitment to his country was unwavering, and he retired as a Master Sergeant (MSGT) after fulfilling his service. Following his military career, Nathan continued his dedication to public service by working for the City of Vienna as a Superintendent in the Public Works Department.


Nathan was a devoted member of Bethel Baptist Church, where he served diligently as a member of the Board of Trustees. His faith and commitment to his community were evident in all aspects of his life. Nathan also had a passion for gardening, and he loved to share the fruits of his labor with friends and family, offering flowers, fruits, and vegetables to those around him.


Nathan was a family man at heart. He cherished the time spent with his children and grandchildren, always ensuring they felt loved and supported. He was a dedicated fan of the Dooly County Football team, where his vibrant spirit made him known as the loudest fan in the stadium.


Nathan was happily married to Betty Jean King Jordan, who preceded him in death on December 28, 2022. He was also preceded in death by his mother, Leona Jordan, and his sisters, Emma J. Flowers and Lessie Green.


Nathan Jerome Jordan will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family, his community, and his country. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.


He transitioned on February 16, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, service, and community spirit. He is lovingly remembered by his sons, Christopher D. Jordan (Tamika) and Jason B. Jordan (Shamonda) of Vienna, Georgia; six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; his father, George W. Jordan of Vienna, Georgia; his brother, George Keith Jordan (Charlene) of Pope City, Florida; his sisters-in-law, Georgia Lee King and Marilyn Jackson of Americus, Georgia, and Ruby King of Orlando, Florida; a host of nieces,  nephews, cousins, other relatives, and many friends, including Jerry McKinney of Fort Myers, Florida, Mike McKinley of Atlanta, Georgia, John Withers of Valdosta, Georgia, and Orlando Reed of Cookville, Tennessee.

To the family of my Dear and Forever Cousin. I shall Always have fond memories of our Beloved "Jerome". We often spoke about the "Good "ole" Bahamian Food" our family was known for and the "Good Times" we had together as children during he and his family summer visits to Miami, Florida to see our grandmother. I looked forward to seeing Uncle George, Aunt Leona, Jerome, Keith and Emma and sharing in the laughter and fun we had together. Nathan Jerome Jordan was a kind, thoughtful, and caring man who loved the Lord and His Family. The memories of my Dear Cousin Jerome shall be with me throughout eternity.

My deepest condolences to the family. Jerome is one of my classmates I have know since first grade. He has always been kind and respectful. He was a leader, and a thoughtful friend. I have nothing but fond memories of our days all through school from the very beginning to graduation and beyond. I really enjoyed him during our 50th class reunion a couple of years ago. He was so kind to come by and talk with me when my father passed in 2022. Jerome had a big heart. We will all miss him. Rest well Classmate. ❤

RIP, JJ. It was a pleasure serving with you in the U.S. Airforce. You and Betty were awesome friends. I'll forever cherish the time we spent together. The world was a better place with you guys in it. Your example help me develop into a successful air traffic controller. I'll never forget the time we had to evacuate from our base in Florida because of a hurricane, you were gracious enough to allow me and Gayle to spend that time at your parent's home in Georgia until the storm passed. Take your rest my friend, my condolences to your family left behind. I know they will miss you sorely..
Mike McKine.
