He is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife and best friend of 62 years Roberta Rosalie “Rose” Jordan; his three children: Jennifer Jordan, Sheila (Jordan) Welsch (Don), and Steven Jordan (Kim); his five grandchildren: Graeme (Cat), Christopher, Ramsey, Kailen, and Sidney; and his three sisters: JoAnne Lewis, Nancy Scisco, and Lois Tamel.
Don was born and raised in Wisconsin. He was an especially talented athlete and was signed out of high school as a pitcher with the Eau Claire Bears. He is a veteran of the Korean War, having served in the Army Artillery. Following graduation from university and his marriage to Rose, Don moved to Michigan to start his family. Don spent his entire career as an educator with L’Anse Creuse Public Schools, where he shared his passion for sports by coaching high school basketball and golf. After retiring as Assistant Principle at L’Anse Creuse High School North, Don moved with Rose to San Antonio in 1994. As a resident of The Dominion, Don enjoyed unlimited rounds of golf, meeting new friends, and traveling the world with his wife. Don loved cooking for his family and friends, a nice glass of wine, sharing a joke, and having a good laugh. Don was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend, and he will be greatly missed. A memorial service for family and friends will be held at a later date.
