DAVID'S OBITUARY
David Leroy Jordan, age 83, passed on September 23, 2021 and is resting with God. He was born on January 26, 1938 in Mansfield, Ohio to the late Bernard L. and Anne V. (Saksa) Jordan. David retired from Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. with over 30 years of service.
In his earlier years he coached boys JV and Varsity basketball at St. Peter’s Catholic Church. He was an avid bowler and that is when he met his beloved wife, Marcia. David and Marcia moved from Lexington, Ohio to Medina, Ohio in 1977. David was a wonderful provider, not only for his family as a young man, but as a husband and father. He was a longtime devout and active member of First Christian Church in Medina, including serving as Deacon, Elder, Chairman of the Board, and several lay ministries and committees. He enjoyed golf, was an avid Cleveland sports fan, and enjoyed attending all his grandchildren’s sporting events. David took yearly trips to Niagara Falls and loved vacationing with his wife, family, and friends in Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Marcia J. (Brague) Jordan; children Debra S. Jordan of Columbus, OH, Michael D. Jordan of Old Saybrook, CT, and Robin (Kimberlee) Wittmer of Lexington, OH; grandchildren Taylor J. Wittmer, Rachel (D.J.) Pritchard, Michael D. Jordan, Jr., and Collin E. Jordan; great-grandson Madden J. Jordan; siblings Dr. Rick (Julie) Jordan of Virginia, Diane Koch of Ohio,Mary Lou (Albert) Hubert of Ohio and Tim (Judy) Jordan of Florida; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
David was preceded in death by his parents; brother William Jordan; and brother-in-law Jacob Koch.
