With broken hearts, we announce the passing of our beautiful daughter, Senior Airman Jordan Ivy Sinclair on October 25, 2025. Jordan most recently served as a Defender in the United States Air Force as a member of the 48th Security Forces Squadron at Lakenheath Air Force Base in Suffolk, England.

Jordan was born in Boise, Idaho on March 24, 2003. Born to a military family, she had the opportunity to live in many locations including England and New Mexico before her family settled in Caryville, Florida. It was here in Florida where Jordan graduated from Ponce De Leon High School in 2021 and teamed with the Lady Pirates to win the State Basketball Championship in her senior year. Jordan loved her family and had a deep kindness for all animals.

Everyone that knew Jordan was eternally impacted by her radiant smile, her contagious laughter, and her outgoing nature. Jordan’s personality harnessed a mix of quiet confidence, quick-witted sense of humor, and an instinctual way of building an atmosphere of belonging, making her a magnet that drew people together feeling included and loved. Simply put, Jordan’s presence had a way of making others feel at home no matter where they were.

Jordan is survived by her parents, Shanna Harrison and Jason Parker of Caryville, FL, and Jeramy and Jessica Sinclair of Charlotte, NC. She also leaves behind her grandparents: Faye Mimbs of Wrightsville, GA, Jim Harrison of Kite, GA, Doris Barnwell Sinclair of Lumberton, NC, Carol Trapp of DeFuniak Springs, Fl, and Barbara West of Sumter, SC, her siblings: Gavin (Irsauna) Ladeau, Ava Parker, Adrian Salazar, and Jaxson and Jianna Sinclair, and her niece and nephew: Kaylani and Cairo Ladeau, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

We invite you to honor her memory by donating to the Fisher House for Families of the Fallen (Dover AFB).    https://connect.fisherhouse.org/Dover/donate?_ga=2.256048779.1457324298.1762356342-1998914768.1762356342
