Mr. Jordan Malik Staton Obituary in Wadesbaro at Smith's Funeral Home

Obituary For Mr. Jordan Malik Staton

MR. JORDAN MALIK STATON was born on June 29, 2004, in Richmond County, North Carolina, to Ms. Kim Staton. Hearing the Master’s call, he entered into eternal rest on Friday, September 29, 2023, at Atrium Health-Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, surrounded by family and friends.

Jordan lived in Wadesboro with his Mother and extended family, Khaliha Staton, Khasiah & Wyzae Martin. He spent a lot of time in the Burnsville Community with his Papa and Grandma, Bernard and Frances Staton, and his great grandmother, Mary Ann Staton.

Jordan graduated from Anson High School in 2022, and was attending Winston-Salem State University majoring in Psychology. At the time of his medical emergency, he was practicing with the Epiphany Modeling Troop and collapsed. The Medical Team declared his condition as HCM.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease in which the heart muscle becomes thickened (hypertrophied). The thickened heart muscle can make it harder for the heart to pump blood. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often goes undiagnosed because many people with the disease have few, if any, symptoms.

Jordan’s memories will be forever cherished by:

Mother: Kim (Khaliha) Staton

Grandparents: Bernard and Frances Staton and Selena Adams

Great grandparents: Mary Ann Staton, Carolyn Deese Allen, and Harry Liles

Aunts: Tamika Brown, Shunda Brown, Jennifer Bowman, and Timika Funderburke;

Uncles: Andre Ross (Amy), Marquie Walker, and Delvin Hicklen

Special Uncle: Tony Allen

Special Aunts: Sarah Dean (Alfonza), Carolyn Bennett (Leonard), and Emily Turner

Cousins: Jamison Allen, Malaysia McPhatter, Alaysha Ross, Alexis Ross, Damarion Ross, Dreshaun Ross, Drevon Ross, Carolyn Kelly, Leonard Bennett, Marcus Dean, Shannon Turner, Rodney Turner and Davene Barton, Raeona McDonald, and Rico McDonald.

Jordan will also be remembered by a host of other relatives and friends.

The Services to Honor Jordan's life will on Saturday, October 7, 2023, 1:00pm, in the Chapel of Smith Funeral Home, 604 Salisbury Street, Wadesboro, North Carolina. Interment will be at Westview Memorial Park, Highway 74-West, Wadesboro, North Carolina.

The Staton Family will greet family and friends on Saturday, October 7, 2023 from 12:30-1:00pm in the Chapel of Smith Funeral Home.

I taught Jordan during his 10th grade year at Anson High School. Jordan was a ray of sunshine. He believed in being positive, no matter the situation , and was an extremely respectful young man. He always went above and beyond to help out anyone in need. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you have my love and prayers.

Prayers and Condolences. I met Jordan through my niece, Tekya. Jordan, Tekya and Makhia were a enjoyable trio that made me laugh and kept me abreast of the current events. Jordan taught me how to say his saying, "Ratata". Jordan, you are the next Lilly to adorn God's vase and you are a Golden Memory. Ratata.
