Jordan Harley Dean "Helagalis" Wadhams was born in Alert Bay, British Columbia, Canada, on September 9, 1992, to Marshall J. Wadhams and Jolene R. Jack. In 1993, as a toddler Jordan, his mother, and sister Rebecca moved to the United States.

Paddle to Muckleshoot 2006 was his first canoe journey paddle. Jordan loved to play soccer and participated in cross country in his younger years. Jordan had a knack for using public transportation to see different places in life. He loved the city lights of Seattle to have a change of scenery from Marysville. Jordan loved being an uncle and had his own nicknames for each of them. Jordan had a knack for great quality in home goods or clothing.
Jordan will be remembered for his humor and ability to get us all laughing, his beautiful smile, walking in his garden that he watered profusely because he had an imaginary green thumb, the 3 am canoe journey YouTube Videos on blast, his love for the holiday seasons, and buying things in bulk, we will miss his short answer responses and all the quiet times we had together, the cold car rides and the heater blaring to keep ourselves warm.
Jordan was preceded in death by Grandparents, Isaac & Caroline Glendale, Eugene Jack Sr., Medric, and Dora (Queenie) Wadhams Sr., brother Dallas Knighton
Jordan is survived by his mother Jolene (Steven, Stepfather), Marshall Wadhams, sisters Rebecca Wadhams & Saige Williams, brothers Alva Damien Sr. (Doc), Steven Williams, Jr., Michael Williams, Channc Guzman, and Jay Davis, nieces Janessa, Jewels and Ariella, Nephews Joshua and Justice.
