Jordan Kitchen Obituary
MILLS RIVER-Jordan Samuel Kitchen, 18, of Mills River went to be home with his Lord and Savior Saturday, July 13, 2013.
He was born in Henderson County and graduated from West Henderson High School with the class of 2013. Jordan was an outstanding golfer and high school champion. He was employed by Shank's Driving Range in Greenville, SC and worked part time for his uncle.
Jordan loved everyone he ever met on the golf course, and was considered a great all-around person by his teachers, fellow students, teammates, and all who knew him. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman. Jordan was baptized in Rutherfordton at Bible Tabernacle and attended Upward Christian Fellowship.
He is survived by his loving mother, Teresa S. Kitchen of Mills River; sister, Brooke Kitchen of Charlotte; nephew, Caiden Karges; and many cousins, aunts, uncles and extended family members.
A funeral service will be held at 3 PM Saturday, July 20, 2013 at Upward Christian Fellowship. The Reverends Joe Green and Anthony Craver will officiate. Burial will follow at Mill Pond Cemetery where Jordan will be laid to rest beside his maternal grandparents. The family will receive friends from 12 – 3 PM at the church.
Memorials may be made to the Jordan Kitchen Memorial Fund at Macon Bank in Brevard or Hendersonville.

My sincere sympathies go out to your family. I saw the sad story on the news this weekend. I did not know the young man, but I met him when I came to take pictures of the West Henderson golf team this spring. I take quite a few pictures throughout the year, but remembered him when I saw the news story. He seemed like a nice, fun-loving kid. I wanted to offer to send you pictures that I took of him if you would care to have them. My email address is [email protected]. May God be with you all as you go through this heartbtreaking time in your lives.

It's a beautiful thing to know that so many people are praying for you. Because it means that they love you and they believe the 'Hearer of prayer' will not only listen but respond to their prayers. The days ahead will be very tough but please remember it was never God's will for parents to be separated from their kids. Very soon things will change by means of His Kingdom. So please hang on !

I am so saddened by your loss. Jordan was a wonderful young man. I met him playing golf a few times and we both absolutely had a fantastic day with a great close match at the course the last time I saw him about a month ago. He was a great kid, the type of young person you were proud of. He will be truly missed.
