He impacted the lives of countless children and young adults most notably by starting and managing a basketball team called “The Piranha’s”. He played several instruments and was a state champion powerlifter.

She was very creative and did wood burned signs, drawings and artwork. She played softball and soccer in grammar school. Jordan enjoyed four-wheeling, camping, fishing and the outdoors. Jordan worked several odd jobs with her uncle, Roland. She could be feisty and passionate but also very lovable.
