JORDAN ALEXANDER BURBY

Time does not heal all wounds.....the loss of this young man and his wonderful Father still hurts my heart.

Hey Jordan, its June 24th 2020 and I guess I never saw this page, truth be told when you passed it was just too painful to face fully. We had known each other since we were 6 maybe younger, when I look back at my childhood youre there . We camped countless weekends with our families together, spent evenings at youth group, summers away at church camp, we watch Lord Of The Rings, spent birthdays celebrating and even went paint balling . Like I said its now June 2020 almost 10 years since we lost you so suddenly. 3 days ago would have been your 31st birthday . I guess I was just thinking about how crazy this world has become and how much better it would be if you were here to offer your thoughtful solutions to the worlds problems, and weve had some doozies lately. Amazon is spending over a billion dollars to bring lord of the rings as a series and I cant help but wonder if youd be excited or hate the idea all together . You loved Queen and a couple years ago there was a movie that won best picture all about Freddie and the Band , I always thought you would have loved that movie and all the hype around Queen . I still have your button on my shelf by the door that reminds me not to take one day for granted . I want to thank you for helping me live everyday to the fullest. Love you Jordan, miss you everyday.

Think of this young man and his Father Bill very often. Both were called home entirely too soon, but I know we all have extra special guardian angels.

Jordan was in a philosophy class with me at Reed College and I always enjoyed our chats, in and out of class. He was always bearded and usually in his pajama pants, always smiling with big dark eyes. We were both from Orange County so that gave us something extra to talk about. I was shocked and am very sorry to hear about the loss -- for everyone who knew him -- of such a positive, promising, passionate young man.

Carol and John

There aren't any words to express my sadness except to say that he was an exceptional person and gave so much to others. I wish I had known him better. I really enjoyed the time we spent in Disneyland with all of you, when he was about 9 years old. Please know that we care and love you and will stay in touch. Candace and Doug Adams

Carol and John

Carol,
There really aren't words to express the pain that I feel. Bill was taken away from us entirely too soon and now the same holds true with Jordan. The beauty of this, if there is such a thing, is that I know he is with Bill, Emily and most importantly God, so all is well. Unfortunately, that cannot fill the void that you now have in your life, which truly hurts my heart. Please know that you and John are in our thoughts and prayers. Much Love, Alva

Carol Jo, John, Carol & Joe:
My heart aches for your loss. Jordan was such a loving boy, and he continued to be gracious and loving thru his teen years and into his much-too-short adulthood. He is missed by all who knew him. Your whole family is in my prayers. Love, Estelle

Carol,
Words can't express the sadness I feel for you with the passing of Jordon. He had to have been the delight of your life after Bill's passing. I know that he has left you with many happy memories. May the LORD comfort you during this time.
