I had Jourdan as a student in an English class I taught at Park University. Of course I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. He was always a positive influence in class, and although he spoke in a very calm and reserved manner, he was never afraid to voice his opinion. I regret that I will not see him on campus anymore but I will continue to remember the time he spent in my class and the interactions we shared. My thoughts go out to Jourdan's family.

Kristy and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I only knew your children from what you said at work. Sounds like he was a great son and athlete. Again, sorry for your loss. If you ever need anything just let me know, hugs and prayers.
