Jordan Rawlings

Jordan was my middle son and an absolute ray of sunshine! He was 35 at the time of his death. He was a kind gentle person. He had autism and intellectual delays but had a photographic memory and was skilled at math and card games. He was loved by all who knew him. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed social activities with family and friends. Family was very important to him. One of his proudest moments was when he became “Uncle Jordan” to his nephew William. He was a loving son and brought so much joy to my life. He and his care giver Connie had many adventures and he had a wide group of friends that he did many activities with. He was on a trip to Rochester for a day of fun and shopping with Connie and some friends, when his life was cut short as the result of a seizure leading to cardiac arrest. Because of Jordan’s kindness and caring for others, we chose to honor his life with eye and tissue donations to give others a chance for a better life. Jordan you are so missed and will live on in our memories and hearts. You lived your best life every day!

Jordan led a full and happy life and touched many people along the way. He lived his best life despite the challenges of his disability.
