Obituary of John Callis Jordan

John C. Jordan, age 81 of Pikeville, died Monday, December 17, 2012. He was of the Mormon faith. John loved woodworking and tinkering with lawn mowers. Dad loved his children and especially his grandchildren, sadly he never met his only great granddaughter. He loved the Atlanta Braves, wrestling, tending to his garden and especially woodworking. Dad handmade wooden rocking horses for each of his grandchildren so they would all have memories of how much he loved each one of them. He taught everyone how to drive whether it was a car or a lawnmower and Peyton was usually in his lap for most mower rides. Dad enjoyed spending time with his family, especially during the holidays and on birthdays. His favorite holiday was Christmas and he was always so excited on Christmas morning. He was a good man who worked his entire life. Dad never really retired, he got bored easily so he created many new projects including a huge garden and numerous woodworking projects to keep himself busy. We miss you and we love you Dad. Now you can retire and just watch over all of us now. Rest In Peace. Survivors include his wife Agnes Jordan, Pikeville; daughters Linda Jordan, Atlanta Ga.; Teresa (Wayne Schutt) Jordan, Pikeville; Nancy Jordan Moore, Atlanta, GA.; son Mike (Peggy) Jordan, Laverne, TN; seven grandchildren Amanda Cullen, Ryan Turner, Weston Jordan, Alex Jordan, Ash Jordan, John Jordan, Peyton Schutt ; great-granddaughter Briley Cullen; great-nephew Royce Sexton; nephew Jimmy Smith, and numerous other nieces and nephews; sister-in-law Joyce (Tom) Holt.
