Publish in a newspaper

David Timothy Jordan, affectionately known to many as David, Dave, or DJ, entered into eternal peace on September 8, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on November 11, 1956, in Alameda, California, David brought joy and love into the lives of those around him.

He passed away in Lilburn, Georgia, leaving behind a legacy filled with compassion, resilience, and kindness. David's journey began as the beloved son of Jack Jordan and Caroline Stotler, both of whom predeceased him, as did his first wife, Jan Jordan. His life blossomed with love when he met and married Colleen Jordan, his devoted wife of 29 years, who survives him. Together, they created a combined family that includes his children: Jamey Jordan Burgin, Jeff Jordan, and Ally Jordan Okin (Brian). David was the proud grandfather of Jadyn Burgin, Lily Jordan, Christian Jordan, Ryleigh Okin, Ava Okin, and Millie Jordan, whose lives he enriched with unwavering support and affection. He is also survived by his sister, Sandy Ouellette.

David's life was a testament to the value of hard work and dedication. His professional career spanned decades with Chrysler Automotive, where he excelled as a technician, service advisor, and manager. David's commitment to his work was paralleled by his commitment to his family and his Catholic faith, which guided him throughout his life. An adventurer at heart, David reveled in the thrill of fishing, the excitement of mining, and being buried in the sand at the beach. These simple pleasures were sources of respite and joy for him, and he often shared these passions with his family and friends.

David will be remembered as a loving father and husband, a courageous friend, and a generous soul. His generosity extended beyond material gifts, as he freely gave his time, wisdom, and love. David's courage was evident not just in how he faced life's challenges but also in the grace with which he navigated his final days. As we mourn the loss of David Timothy Jordan, we also celebrate a life beautifully lived. His spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him, and his memory will be cherished in the stories and laughter shared in his honor. David's departure leaves a void that cannot be filled, but the echoes of his love will resonate forever. We say farewell to a man whose life was a beacon of unconditional love and whose presence was a comfort to all. Rest in peace, David. Your journey was profound, your impact immeasurable, and your memory eternal.

The Funeral Mass to celebrate the life of David Timothy Jordan will be held on Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 2:00 PM at Tom M. Wages Funeral Snellville Chapel, Snellville, Georgia.
