Thank you  / Chelle
Thank you to Jordan's kind 2nd grade teacher. She sent a beautiful card and all the latest updates and photos. Thank you very much for thinking of our family. We appreciate the photos more than words can ever say. As we remember him from graduation to memorial day the photos and his precious smile and your heartfelt note was very beautiful! Thanks a million Mrs. Leuning. Close

Today / Kayla Greer (Good Friend )
Hey Jordy-
Today was a tough day for all of us. It was hard to watch the seniors walk across the stage without you being there, the Class of 09 just isn’t complete without you. I tried to hold the tears back but somehow I just couldn’t.
Im sorry I didn’t stay long today, but I did leave you some gerber daisys. Hopefully the wind didn’t blow them away.
I went to see Allen too, but somehow I managed to trip getting out of the car, and im guessing you had something to do with that.. you’re always trying to make me look bad! ;)
I know we don’t talk as much as I’d like to, but lately all I can think about is you and Allen.
I remember waking up in the morning and checking my phone to see the million missed phone calls from you and allen.. and then having to listen to all the voicemails, lol..
sometimes I still wake up in the morning and check my phone, hoping to see your name pop up.. but knowing it wont. There is so much I have to tell you, but I know someday I’ll see you again.
But when im hurting deep inside and I cant think straight…
I try to walk the sunny side of the streets, don’t let no shadows tangle up my feet,
There aint no troubles that I cant rise above-with a handful of faith and a heart full of love
If you look down deep inside you’ll find the faith to carry on
oh.. Carry on, carry on- what don’t kill us makes us strong, carry on
Love you Jordan robert

Graduation Day!!!!  / Nik (Sister)

Hey Jordan,

 

Been thinking alot of u lately and especially with Graduation Day approaching and wondering what if would be like to still have you around and to be actually going to your Graduation. And I wonder where life would be taking you and what you would be doing. I really think we would still be close and you would be coming to my house and staying all the time. I really wish you could see your nephew Evan. He is quite the little boy and always on the go. He is such a gift and a blessing. I wish you could have met all your new Nieces and Nephews they are all so special. Well its been a hard 4 years without you, but I know you are in a great place now. Hopefully you are spending time with Grandpa. Well I think of you daily and I know you are looking over all of us. Please keep us all safe,happy and healthy. Love you JR with all my heart... Love your Big Sister Nikki

missing you  / Kayla Greer (good friend )

Hey jordy, cant believe its been so long! I've been trying to keep busy, it seems to be easier when I dont think about it. Everyday I think about you and al and it just kills me inside. It seems like everything I do reminds me of the two of you.. from drinking mt. dew to eating cake.. or even walking outside during the winter, i know you would be so happy if you were here.  I havent riden a snowmobile since the last time you, mike, my dad, and I were out at lake brandt. I just cant get myself to do it.

I always wonder what you two are doing up there, sometimes I wonder if your just sittin there laughing at me, cause i wouldnt blame ya! I embarass myself sometimes! I hope your doing good, but im sure you boys havent had any trouble finding something to do, there was never a dull moment with you two around! I better go finish my homework, I'll talk to you in a bit, just like I do every night! Be good up there, and keep watching over your family, I know its tough and i pray for them every night. Love you buddy!

Missing you  / Chelle

I have been to many funerals since you have passed and it never gets any easier.  I am convinced that you are having a party and celebration in Heaven and can't seem to understand orconvince us to do the same.  Nonetheless, we think about this year bringing you to graduatuion and a whole new life to embark upon...and then we remember you never got the chance. 

Never will we know the truth and never will we see

Just what it is God intended and what it is you would be.

We do know how much we love you with each passing day

And how many tears we have shed knowing you are away

We do know you are with our Father and holding out your hand

If only we take the time to grab it and go with the Master's plan.

We do wish for many more days to feel your presence near

Please know that you are in our hearts forever held in dear.

We love and miss you brother!

Struggles / Chelle
Sometimes it feel like yesterday when we were watching you mow and crack us up with a joke.  Other times it seems like forever since we have heard your voice or felt your hugs.  Please know you are forever in our thoughts and many people in our family are struggling and need your watchful eyes.  Love and miss you brother.

Still painful  / Chelle

My handsome baby brother.  We sang hym 354 Here I Am Lord in church today.  I sang boldly trying to convince myself I wouldn't cry.  We picked this song as befitting of your entrance into Heaven on your funeral day.  I am not sure however who I was kidding because it was still painful and I still saw that day in my head.  I don't think any of us could ever think of the good memories about you without thinking about the bad day that took your life.  I was also not surprised about the number four in the hymn.  It seems everything pertaining to you revolves around the number four.  I miss you JR and as the rain comes down tonight may it be a reminder of your joy in Heaven and not of our pain and sorrow over your death.

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart

Matthew 24:1 

And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a Trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to another."

The number four signified the universality (throughout time) of all who are raised.

 

You a truly a Heaven sent angel

Missin you  / Derek Holdren (Good Friend )
Hey man, just though id let ya know i miss havin you around. it seems like time has gone by so fast its been dam near 3 1/2 years.. but it seems like just yesterday me and you were either workin on stuff at the shop or your house, riding, or just messing around. I tell ya what i sure miss havin you around not only because you were a good hand at the shop but because you always knew how to brighten my day up a little and you always had something crazy to do in mind. i remember when we made those fire extingisher water guns, and when we used to try to get that bike goin you used to have.. and that time where you let me use your brothers welder to try to fix my chain tensioner on my three wheeler when neither of us really knew how to weld. we had alot of great times and im sure we will have plenty more when i make it up to heaven with you. talk to ya soon. derek Close

Butterflies and second chances  / Chelle

I tell of hearts and souls and dances

Butterflies and second chances

Desperate ones and dreamers bound

Seeking life from barren ground

Who suffer pain of angry hate.

Might but they stop and here forgive

Would break the bonds to breathe and live

And find that God in goodness brings

A chance for change, the hope of wings

To rest in Him and self to die

And so become a butterfly

Author Karen Kingsbury.

May we remember on your special birthday how much you taught us about life, love and forgiveness.  May we never have a day of hate or forget the many blessing that God has given us.  May we love like there is no tomorrow and may peace bring us the wings we so desperately need.  Each and every time I see a butterfly I think you are whispering to us.  Love you now and forever beautiful brother.  May you send us laughter and hope!

Christmas 2007 & new Year's 2008  / Mom
Another Christmas has come and gone and we are missing you ever so much.  New Year's has arrived and we are anticipating the arrival of Nikki's & John's baby.  That means you will be an uncle again.

Everyday that passes still has you on my mind.  Nothing will ever erase my beautiful memories and the fun that we shared together.  Time passes but you will always be in my mind and my heart.  I pray for peace for our whole family that we can all help one another and become closer.  Dad rode your snow mobile around the house on New Year's day and we all had a good laugh about that.  It was quite noisy and woke Landon up from a nap but that was okay he had some fun doing it.  May God Bless our family in this New Year.  Close
