Gian-Luc Jordan Obituary

Gian-Luc Tavar Jordan was born on January 29, 1999 to Henry Jordan Jr. & Petra Verhoeven-Jordan in Colorado Springs, CO. Gian-Luc was an Honor Roll Student at Mountain Ridge Middle School, an accomplished State swimmer on the Colorado Springs Swim Team, an outstanding soccer player on the Pride top soccer team in his age group, a friend, a brother, a son and a grandson. He was a gifted student and athlete who was very well liked by all his friends, classmates and teammates. Words used to describe Gian-Luc are: charming, funny, caring, ambitious and smart. Due to a tragic accident on August 13, Gian-Luc was severely injured and on life support until August 18, when he lost his battle and his organs were donated. Words from his parents -- "The road of our life as a family has made an unexplainable twist. Suddenly torn from our circle of love, we lost our precious son and brother in an awful accident. Our time spent together was surely too short and we are looking forward to wrap-our-arms around him again when we see him in Eternity!" Gian-Luc is survived by his sister Adrienne, 17, brother Domyniko, 9, and sister Francesca, 6. Additionally he is survived by his grandparents: Jerry Ann Gradford and Henry Jordan Sr., Gisela Verhoeven, and several uncles, aunts and cousins in the USA and Germany. A Celebration of Gian-Luc's Life will be held on Thursday, August 25, 6 p.m. at the Main Auditorium on New Life Campus, 11025 Voyager Parkway.

Dear Lucca,
You had the BEST smile ever! I will never forget the time I scared you in the halls at MRMS. Or when we were kids playing soccer against eachother and we bet who's team would win. (Yours did I knew they would since they had you on it but I wanted to bet you to make you scared.) You will always have a place in my heart.
P.s. I'm VERY jelous of your hair. R.I.P. Lucca

My heart is broken and my thoughts are with you, Jordans. Henry, you have been a brother to me when I needed you the most. Petra's acceptance of me, despite who I was, will never be forgotten. You and yours will always be in my thoughts, as will your son. I am at your service, if there is anything that I can do at all.

We are heartbroken over your loss; yet, Luca was truly a gift to so many of those who knew him. After spending a weekend at All stars with Luca, Landon immediately grew to love him and still talks about Luca. We are privileged to have shared in the gift of Luca's life.
