He died Monday in the home he built himself, except for the chimney, on Midway Road in Anderson. Jordan was an honored fixture in the Anderson community whose funeral brought out several county council members, state Rep. Mike Gambrell of Honea Path and other business and political leaders. He was buried at Ridge Spring Cemetery after a service at SullivanKing Mortuary. Carol Craig said Jordan , her father, had never stayed overnight as a patient in a hospital. Jordan was praised for his commitment to his church, his family and the county government. He was an on-and-off member of First Baptist Church for 81 years, said the Rev. Jerry Hayes, a former First Baptist pastor. Jordan also had a streak of attending every county council meeting for 32 years, which led the council to name him an honorary council member more than 10 years ago. Hayes said Jordan still put his electrician skills to use even though he was getting around in a wheelchair at the time. A month or so ago Jordan tried to figure out how to get down to fix his refrigerator and a few weeks ago was working on electrical drawings for a friend. He was always proud of the title, along the with South Carolina Order of the Crescent awarded to him by Gov. Mark Sanford in 2004, family members said. Jordan was remembered as a lifelong voracious reader and observer who picked up his electrician trade by watching others work and later was dedicated to adult learning courses. In recent months he told the Independent Mail that his mind remained as strong as ever, and that he pored over copies of the newspaper and minutes of the council meetings after his hearing began to deteriorate.
