This sweet young gentleman. He and my son hung out and he was always respectful and a ray of sunshine. Then he came to work at metalsa walked right up to me with a big ol smile. From that day on there wasn't a day of work that we didn't share greetings or stories about when i first met him. My heart goes out to the family of this blessed soul. I pray for your strength and mercy during this time.

To my baby Jordan

I have no words right now, this is all just a bad dream I haven't woken up from. From the moment I saw you, I knew you was special. Now there's a whole, an emptiness. You feel the void that's left. You brought joy and laughter to us. Even though you will no longer be with us, I'm happy and grateful for the yrs God allowed me to be with you. It will never be the same... I love you so much and will always carry you in my heart.

Mi adorado nieto desde el momento que llegasteis a nuestras vidas fuisteis alguien muy especial recuerdo cuando querías algo venías a abrazarme y besarme me llamabas abuela yo ya sabía que tú querías que yo cambiara algo que a ti no te gustaba solamente mirarte tenias que ceder te amare siempre mi niño dorado Dios te llamo muy temprano recuerdo la última llamada nos reímos tanto siempre tenias una sonrisa en tus cara te extrañare mis cuatro tesoros ya Dios me dejo con tres pero aunque tu no estés presente siempre estarás en mi corazón descansa en paz te amamos todos

Little cuz you will be greatly missed. You personality was one of a kind. You have left a void in all of us but one day we will be in glory together. Love you Jordan.

I am gonna miss you big cuz. Sleep well.

Sweet Boy, although I didn't know you, your father is very special to me. We are family and my heart aches for him and the entire family. May you rest in eternal peace with our Heavenly Father and watch over your loved ones from up above. Sleep in peace sweet boy. -Omaira & Family

Jordan was a special person from the moment he was born. He always had a smile that lit up any room. His love for trains and the drums were like no other. He was talented. I am going to treasure all the memories I have of you in my heart. Jordan, you were taken from us too soon and I wish I had the chance to see you. But we shall see each other again one day. I love you and I will always hold you in my heart. Sleep in Peace. ~Love always your cousin Damaris.

Hello Angel in Heaven. I knew you existed but never met you. Your dad spoke great things about you the couple times him and I spoke about our children. Me knowing your father I knew you was a caring young gentleman that has now left this earth too early. I feel like a lot of people both in your life and the people you were supposed to come across will miss out on your presence but at least the people that you knew will forever know your spirit. RIP Young Homie! Ya Pops got it from here.

May God Bless and Hold Him In The Palm Of His Hand Through Eternity. My condolences to you and your family may her rest in eternal peace.

My deepest condolences for you and your family.I am praying for you, Your son's legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. I'm so sorry for your loss. Norma I Morales Fortis

You were such a kind and loving person. We will forever miss you but I know God is holding you now. Your titi will always love you. ❣️💔💕

Jordan was a very humble young man. He went on spring break with my grandson, Austin and I a few years ago and we had a blast. He also played AAU basketball with Austin. He was always a good friend to Austin. I send prayers to his many friends and also his momma with whom he was the light of her world. RIH Jordan, grandma Shepherd.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
