Jordan Brock Burnett

After contracting Covid-19 in December 2020, he struggled with significant mental health issues, ultimately gave up hope and chose to end his life. All those who knew and loved Jordan are heartbroken.

Jordan was a native of Winder, GA, and attended Hope Christian Academy, Jefferson City Schools and was a 2010 Honor Graduate of Winder-HIgh School. During his high school years, he attended Gainesville College and Southern Polytech in Marietta, and worked both as a Crossfit trainer and a computer network engineer.

Jordan became a Christian at an early age, and attended the First Presbyterian Church at Winder where his father was the pastor for 31 years. When he moved to Alpharetta, he was a youth volunteer at Northpoint Church, and later faithfully attended Northside Church in Roswell. Jordan was always one to "put his faith into action." While in high school, he volunteered to build houses in Mexico for the needy. He was also involved in a number of fund raisers for charities in association with the gyms where we worked out. Jordan showed true compassion for others, and was always willing to help anyone who reached out to him. As Jordan chose to be an organ donor, even in death he was able to help improve the lives of those in need.

Jordan was predeceased by his Grandfather, Rev. Robert Burnett of Black Mountain, NC; his Grandparents, Sue Nell Jones Stapleton and Leroy Stapleton of Metter, GA; and Aunt, Jan Simmons of Cairo, GA.

He is survived by his parents, Dr. Fay S. Burnett and Rev. Brock Burnett of Elberton, GA; his fiancee, Ansley Tucker of Alpharetta; his brother Brandon (Morgan) Burnett of Winder; niece and nephew, Charlotte Mae and Ian Brock Burnett of Winder; and his Grandmother, Ruth Burnett of Black Mountain, NC. He is also survived by his Aunt, Nancee (Dickson) Skipper of Mint Hill, NC; his uncle, Rev. Dr. Richard (Marta) Burnett of Due West, SC; his uncle, Rev. Doug Simmons of Cairo, GA; and fourteen first cousins.

There will be a private burial. A public celebration of Jordan's life will be held at Northside Church in Roswell on Thursday evening, June 16 at 6:30 pm. The address of the Church is: 11125 Houze Road, Roswell, GA 30076. For those unable to attend, the service will be streamed live on the Church's Facebook page, "Northside Church Roswell" and will be able to be viewed at a later date on a link to be provided.
