Bare with me it is so much I can say about Mark Jordan, I met him in the late 97-98, at Forest Park Baptist Church, we song in the choir together, he was a great guy he loved to sing, and he Loved his daughter, he later married, we kinda lost contact when he got a new job, and I joined another church, he Loved family to life, he got married he was so happy, in Love, I remember when he bought he first house, always worked hard provider, I wish I had seen more of him, but somehow we lost contact, he was a genuine friend, Love the Lord and Singing was a Gift for him, one of his Favorite was by the Winans, Tomorrow,I give my life today, he song it at forest park he was a great friend Military man, Brother, RIP.....I know you'll be singing in Heaven......,

Heartfelt condolences to you Beverly and the rest of the Jordan family. God bless you all.💕U
Uncle Mark was my favorite Uncle Mark (and my only one). I love him for his smile, his corny sense of humor and his passion for singing. Without fail, everytime I saw him he would always sing "Diamonds are forever" or Diamonds are a girls best friend". He kept that joke up and running for 28 years (thats how old I am now).
I always looked forward to seeing Uncle Mark at Christmas time because he always had the house pumping with music. He knew all the good songs and he always got us dancing.
I never had to look hard to find Uncle Mark around Auntie Lisa's house at Christmas. All I had to do was peek around the kitchen and see him DJ-ing at his booth that he set up in the corner. Sometimes he and Uncle Punkin (or Eddie as some of yall may know him) wore matching santa hats.
And can we just say, Uncle Mark knew how to dress. He never let yall catch him slipping.
I truly will miss his presence dearly and all the links to his youtube music videos that he would send to me once in a blue moon.
Usually I am overwhelmed with sadness when my family members pass but I really feel a sense of overwhelming peace. I know my Uncle is with the Lord and that I will see him laughing and singing again.
He has taken his place in the heavenly choir and he ain't in the back of the choir either.
Love to all of my family.
