Jerry Wayne Jordan, Sr., was known and loved as a devoted friend, husband, brother, father, Pawpaw, uncle, and all-around remarkable man. To know Jerry was to truly love him - his friendliness, his generosity, and his steady presence touched the lives of everyone he encountered. He had a heart for the people close to him and was always ready to lend a helping hand, no matter the circumstance. Whether it was offering support, sharing wisdom, or simply showing up when someone needed him most, Jerry gave of himself freely and without hesitation. His kindness knew no limits, and his selfless spirit will remain and enduring example for all who had the privilege of knowing him.
