Jordan Blake Graves

As a child, Jordan held a very special relationship with his Grandma Darlene, was involved in Boy Scouts, the Young Marines and began his lifelong athletic career. He naturally excelled in all sports, especially baseball. He attended Mansfield ISD schools and at age 19, Jordan made Florida his home. He was especially inspired by music and passionate about playing slow-pitch softball. Jordan umpired for the World Sports League for eight years. His teammates knew him to be reliable, enthusiastic and persistent.

To know Jordan is to know he adored nothing more than his four children, Elizabeth, Bentley, Keegan and Mercedes. He had a huge heart, never having met a stranger. He was fiercely loving and protective of those close to him.

Jordan is survived by his children, Elizabeth, Bentley, Keegan and Mercedes; mother and dad, Janice and Kenneth Noggle; father Kelly; siblings, Chris Garcia, Meggan Noggle; grandfather, Tommie Noggle; aunts, Patricia Cox and Billie Jo Postlewait (Nathan); uncles, Arthur John Graves Jr. (Belinda), Steve Noggle (Jenny), and Bradley Lewis (Debbie); cousins, Jason Cox, Starla Graves, Jennifer Wilson, Lauren Noggle, Paul Thomas Postlewait and Jack Noggle; nieces, Kali, Haley and Kayla; nephew, Dwayne Christian Jr.; godmother, Stacey Downs and many close friends and teammates.
