John William Jordan

John was born to Harold Richard Jordan and Dolores Margaret Miller (Opalesky) with a very spunky spirit. He was always into something and ornery as could be.

Most of his adult life he worked in construction, and his last job was with Brocon Construction. He loved cooking and made a great Eggplant Parmesan dish. His favorite line was, “Are you kidding me?”

John is preceded in death by his father, Rich Jordan and his sister, Susan Diane Lortz. He is survived by his children, Janelle Jordan of Maryland, Jonathan Jordan (Lisa White) of Coshocton, OH; step-daughters Ashley Eibin of Frostburg, Maryland and Kristin Eibin of Columbus, OH; his grandchildren, Haley Jordan of Senecaville, OH & Ethan Jordan Of Coshocton, OH; Sisters, Deborah Tucci of Whitehall, OH, Teri Jordan of Granville, OH; brothers, Rick Jordan (Lynae) of Mount Calm, TX, Gary Jordan (Stella) of Durham, NC; as well as many cherished cousins, nieces & nephews.

Per John’s wishes, there will be no public services held.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. John 11:25-26

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For we say this to you by a word from the Lord: We who are still alive at the Lord’s coming will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
