Thomas V. Jordan

Thomas Vincent Jordan, 90, of Davidson, NC, passed away on January 30th, 2018, after a brief illness.  Tom was born in New York City on August 8, 1927 to the late Thomas V. Jordan and Katie Thorn Jordan.Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his two sisters, Marian Muni and Rosella King, as well as his son, Tommy Jordan.

Tom is survived by this loving wife of 39 years, Sylvia Jordan; step-son, David Solomon and his wife Tammy; son, Carl A. Jordan; four beloved grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.  He is also survived by his canine family, the 4 treasured family dogs, to whom we was devoted.

Although perceived as the original NY tough guy, Tomhad a soft touch. He loved all animals, especially dogs, and considered himself to be a “dog whisperer.”  In addition to caring for the dogs, he particularly enjoyed watching and feeding a variety of birds in the back yard.  A natural Mr. Fix-it, Tom also spent countless hours tinkering in his workshop.

Those who knew Tom were often entertained by his offbeat sense of humor and charm.  He had a way of enchanting those around them, always leaving them with a smile.  He will be missed by both his human and animal loved ones.

Services for Tom will be held on Saturday, February 3rd at the Raymer-Kepner funeral home in Huntersville, NC.  Visitation will be at 1:00 pm and a memorial service will begin at 2:00 pm.  Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the ASPCA.
