We loved Jordan very much and have many happy memories of him. He was a good friend to my son Richie. He was the first person to make friends with him when he started at the high school. Jordan had a great heart and will truly be missed. My prayers are with your whole family

To the Gibbs family- I still remember Jordan as a little boy running around Cary First. It has been hard for me to grasp that he is no longer here with us, but we all know he has gone to be with the Lord and is in a better place. All of you are in my prayers.

I was Jordan's Teacher the last part of 2005-2006, and the entire school year of 2006-2007. I am "Mr, B" (Bergraat). Jordan was a truly wonderful young man and a very bright student.. Jordan cared about others and I could always go to him to find out about troubles with other students. He was honest and helpful He was; courteous, polite, smart and way ahead of the pack. Jordan had a true desire for learning and a knack for asking the most interesting, deep, and thoughtful questions. Jordan got along with everyone and was a pleasure to teach. I spoke with him on the phone often because of the unique school he was attending and where i was teaching. He had amazing insight into this small school's dynamics. I used to tell him I would hear about him when he was wealthy and famous. It is with great sadness that I write this short memoir, I am truly touched and want to express my most sincere condolences, to Anthony, Benita, Morgan and Brandon. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him, a true free spirit who would have made a difference in this world. I know Jordan will look down at us from heaven with his usual smile and create his own star.

Tony and family, We are deeply saddened for the loss of Jordan. It has been my pleasure helping to coach him in the HFL. He was such an upstanding young man and he showed his love for the Lord. He has such a testimony that I feel his legacy will live on here on Earth while he is now home with the Lord. Be strong in this time of Grief, but know that you will be with him again. You are in our prayers! Geoff, Sharon, Joshua, Patrick and Isabel Ruff
