David Jordan Jr.

In loving memory of Edson David Jordan Jr, born September 25, 1953, to Ed & Martha Jean Jordan at St Joseph’s Hospital in Ft Worth Texas. David was a proud Army veteran who served his country with honor and dedication as a Military Police Officer. He was stationed @ Ft Sam Houston 5th Army Headquarters in San Antonio, Texas during the Vietnam War. It was during his tour at Ft Sam Houston, that he encountered a charming, curly haired girl named, Rita.

Throughout his life, “Pop” was surrounded by his 5 creative & diverse children who blessed the family with 14 grandchildren & one great grandchild, the apple of his eye, Gracelynn.

He is survived by his devoted curly haired wife of 47 years, Rita Jordan, who stood by his side through thick & thin, especially in the 4 final difficult years of his illness. David’s legacy lives on through his children: his son, Aaron Jordan and wife, Shanelle Jordan, a Marine veteran who followed in his father’s footsteps; his 4 beloved daughters, Alison Wilson and husband, Broderick Wilson, Aubrey Rodriguez, Ashlee Castillo and husband Marcos Castillo, and Abby Rose Peevey and husband, Shane Peevey, who were a constant source of “roller coaster rides”, pride but above all love & joy.

David was a beloved brother to his two younger siblings, Mike Jordan and wife, Luz Jordan, and Keith Jordan and wife Vicky Jordan, with whom he shared a strong lifelong bond.

In addition to his immediate family, David leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love through his fourteen cherished grandchildren; Shantel, Marquise, Nicholas, Brayden, Markus, Va’Shon, Jae-Lynn, Kayleigh, “Emily”, Adrean, “Baby Mente”, Gabriella, Xavier and Evelynn. Each grandchild has bought Poppy & Nana immeasurable joy and happiness creating cherished memories that will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

David’s faith was an integral part of his life, as he was a man of God, committing himself, at the age of 22, along with Rita on their wedding day! Finding strength and guidance in the word of God, David lived what he believed. Those who knew him, even if only for a short while, will remember him for his infectious sense of humor, playful nature, clever sarcasm, always bringing laughter and joy to those around him.

As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the cherished memories and the profound impact he had on the lives of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Edson David Jordan Jr will be deeply missed but forever remembered in our hearts.

Rest in eternal peace, Pop, in the arms of Jesus, Mary & Joseph. “God can’t fill you with Himself if you are full of yourself”
