Stephen Jordan

Stephen Edward Jordan, age 75, passed away the morning of August 29, 2022. He was born June 9, 1947 in Indianapolis, IN to his loving parents, Ralph and Ruth Jordan. Both he and his younger sister, Linda, attended North Central High School in Indianapolis.

North Central is where Steve met his wife of 52 years, Marsha. They met in the ninth grade and their first date was to a social club party. Steve graduated from North Central in 1965. Steve continued his education at Indiana University, from which he graduated in 1969 with a BS in Business. He and Marsha were married in December of that same year. Steve then went into the United States Army at the rank of Second Lieutenant, Armored Division in Fort Hood, TX. After serving two years in the Army, Steve landed a job with Kemper Insurance in 1971, where he worked for 31 years in the Claims Department and rose to the level of Vice President. Kemper took the family from Indianapolis, IN to Orlando, FL to Fremont, CA to Hingham, MA and ended up in Atlanta, GA. After a short retirement from Kemper, he worked for three smaller insurance companies in Atlanta and finally retired for good in 2011.

Steve is survived by his loving wife Marsha; his two children, Scott (Anne) Jordan and Jennifer (Jonathan) Schuerholz; his four grandchildren: Boland Schuerholz (8), Ward Schuerholz (6), Molly Jordan (3), and Avery Jordan (1); and his sister Linda (Joe) Robert.

Steve will be remembered as a devoted husband, caring father, proud father-in-law, doting grandfather, loving brother, supportive uncle and loyal friend. Steve had a great sense of humor and a quick wit. He was an avid sports fan, a voracious reader, a history buff, a trivia buff and had a deep sense of pride for his family, his country and the U.S. Military.

There will be a Celebration of Life in honor of Stephen Jordan on Sunday, October 2, 2022 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Cherokee Town and Country Club, 665 Hightower Trail, Atlanta, Georgia 30350.
