Jordan Burnett Obituary
Jordan David Burnett
August 8, 1992-April 30, 2012
Jordan was our precious child who was on loan to us from God for too short a time. He was a son, grandson, brother, nephew, and friend to many. His bright eyes and hypnotic smile have left this earth, but will remain in our hearts and minds forever. Our hearts are broken, our spirits heavy as we face tomorrow and look to the future without our precious Jordan’s voice, smile, and amazing compassion for life.
Jordan was born in Orlando, Florida and lived here until beginning his journey in January 2011 when he moved to San Francisco, California. His adventures took him on many paths where we met many incredible people. Jordan traveled the United States extensively and never met a stranger. Jordan’s short journey ended abruptly on April 30, 2012, but he continues his second journey in heaven.
Jordan David Burnett was preceded by his paternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. William Burnett, Mr. Daniel J Tiley, his maternal grandparent, and Mark Hemingway, his second cousin. Jordan is survived by his mother Nicole Marie Lichty, his step-father Richard Lichty, sister Skye Marie Trautman, of Orlando, Florida, and step-brother Jordan Scott Lichty of Deltona, Florida.
He is also survived by his maternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. David E Burnett of Clermont, Florida and paternal grandmother Francis Lichty Wetherbee of Orlando, Florida, his partner, Warren E. Ross of San Francisco, California along with many great aunts and uncles, aunts and uncles, nieces and cousins.

Jord, my sweet jord , I miss your hugs most of all , I miss you taking my hand and skipping across a parking lot , I miss your encouraging words when I was down , there is no person that measures your compassion and love and understanding of human nature , your not 1 in a million , you are the bar, for true kindness, that does not come around in this life time , you jord , are truly a Angel on earth , when you left O rlando, that day I cried , I cried , I was out on the dock where I worked at the hospital, after I dropped you off , my eyes were swollen, I just could not stop crying, I did not know you were gonna pass on to your next journey, but I was at the dock that day , and a nurse said to me "why are you so sad" 'he's 19 " I said to her and I will never forget ....i said. He is the best person I have ever met ......having you as my son was the greatest gift I'll ever know , jord. I know you know , but I need to say this ...if someone came to me and said " you will have a wonderful beautiful boy who will be so talented, so generous and so kind , he will give your life purpose and meaning, but...we will take him and you will suffer and you will feel the worst pain anyone can bere, I will take it. I would do it all over , we had you for 19 years , I will and I do take the everlasting pain , it's all ok. I guess ....i was so blessed to be your mama , I just wish we had more time .......ill see you soon kiddo

"Hi Prince Jerrick!" Only Jordan would leave someone with such a final, pleasant memory: said this with his million-watt smile. That's how I'll always remember him. :)
Those were the last words Jordan said to me about a week before his passing. I saw him at the poetry slam on 16th and Mission in San Francisco. Man. That kid was always smiling. I remember seeing him pick up a bag lunch or heading to drop in, always with an open, inviting expression on his face. I had no idea until after his passing that he and Warren were a couple, but I was certainly saddened when I was informed of Jordan's passing and called Warren immediately. Warren was my best friend when we were street kids back in summer 2011. I know they a wonderful couple. I'm very sorry for the loss. More than I can express in words. I loved Jordan. Always had a kind word and a smile. He was know best for his blond curly hair. it's how I'm always going to remember him. I only feel a bit a bit of regret because I feel like I didn't express appreciation of his presence at the time, but I'm very positive he's cracking God up right now. Good old Jordan...Larkin Street isn't the same without him. Jordan's passing has had a significant impact on me. Life isn't guaranteed tomorrow. Everyday, I think about that; Jordan's telling to me remember that. Rest in Power, my friend. To Warren and the Burnett family, you all are in my utmost sincere prayers.

We feel so blessed to have had Jordan in our home and part of our family for a short time last year. He was so easy to love! His passion for life was as contagious as his smile. He loved his family and friends and understood and accepted them with the wisdom many who live a full life never acquire.
He touched our hearts and for that we are thankful. May our love and the many wonderful memories of Jordan give you strength during this difficult time.

Jordon, a kid with a million smiles. We think of the many times that we visited his family and interacted with Jordon, what a well mannered-friendly young man that left one feeling good when talking with him. Our prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.
