    My name is Ryan, and I’m Jordan’s big brother. Nearly a year ago, Jordan was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. He went through treatment, and while there were moments of hope, complications eventually forced doctors to stop chemotherapy. From that point on, our focus shifted from fighting the illness to making sure Jordan was comfortable, cared for, and surrounded by love. Jordan passed away on December 16, 2025. This fundraiser was originally created to support Jordan during his illness and to help give him moments of comfort, joy, and meaning. It has now been updated to help with final arrangements, remaining medical expenses, travel and time away from work, and other costs related to honoring Jordan’s life and supporting our family during this time. Jordan deserved more than hospital rooms and stress. He deserved music, laughter, love, and moments of peace. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make that possible — whether through donations, sharing this page, or simply holding space for him and for us. Every contribution has mattered more than we can express. Your generosity eased burdens we never expected to face and allowed us to focus on being present with Jordan when it mattered most. Thank you for honoring his life with us. — Ryan & Family
