Obituary of Jordan Ford

Jordan Allen Ford entered this world in Midland, Texas, January 11, 1984. He went home to be with our Lord in the next world, during the wee hours of the morning on December 2, 2007. He was a joy to be around to all who knew him and his infectious mischievious smile could light up a room when he entered. He was the baby of the family, and as such took great delight in engaging his brothers, Ryan and Cody, in laughter and good natured aggravation. Jordan graduated from Airline High School with honors in 2002. He was very active in sports, beginning at Cope Middle School all the way through Airline High School. Jordon was voted freshman and Senior Class Favorite and was also a finalist in the "Mr. Debonair" Pageant two years running while attending Airline H.S. He was on the basketball team and the wrestling team, but the love of his heart was football. He played on the varsity team for 2 years as an offensive lineman and was a formidable force on the field, making lasting friendships along the way. The summer before graduation from Airline, Jordan attended Bossier Parish Community College and was offered an internship in the Telecommunications Dept. Jordan worked in all aspects of Broadcast Journalism including editing, camera operation and radio broadcasting. Jordan was currently enrolled at LSUS pursuing a degree in Broadcast Journalism. At one time he was employed by KTBS as well as KTAL. Jordan was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James E. Edwards of Tyler, Texas, and Mr. and Mrs. James A. Ford of Beaumont, Texas. He is survived by his parents, Danny and Theresa Ford, of Bossier, brother and sister-in-law, Ryan and Melissa Reynolds of Nashville, Tennessee, and his brother and fiancée, Cody Ford and Leah Ellisor of Shreveport. Jordan will also be missed by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Pallbearers will be Ryan and Cody, Jordan's brothers, Da Juan Sewell, T. C. Cooper, Tyler Campbell, David Gladney and Coach Chris White. Family visitation will be Wednesday, December 5, 2007 between 5:00 and 8:00 pm at Boone Funeral Home on Airline Drive in Bossier. Services will be Thursday, December 6, 2007 at 1:00 pm at Faith Chapel next to First Baptist Church of Bossier on East Texas Street. Anyone wishing to honor Jordan may make a donation in lieu of flowers to The Overcomer's Training Center for Men through contacting Shreveport Community Church on Buncumb Road. Jordan touched many lives during his brief stay here and saw something beautiful in everyone he met. His sudden absence from his family and friends will leave a giantloss that will only be surpassed by the love he left behind.
