The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Jordan.

Sometimes news reaches you late. 6 months you’ve been gone and I only found out today. I didn’t know. I don’t think knowing 6 months ago would lessen the pain I feel right now. I feel so incredibly lucky to have known Jordan. 15 years of friendship we had together. It doesn’t feel like long enough. I didn’t know in August 2021, when we had a goodbye dinner because he was moving back to Australia, that it would be the last time I saw him, I hugged him, ever. I didn’t know the texts we shared on his birthday were the last ones, ever. I feel so cheated out of more time we could have had together. I am utterly devastated. I loved Jordan so much, he was my brother and he loved me like a sister. I am so thankful for the years of friendship we had, and the time we got to spend together, singing phantom of the opera at the top of our lungs while driving around, sonic nights, eating Malaysian food, and being stupid kids together. He was brilliant, I was always in awe of him and his appetite for learning.

Liz and Pete and Les, I don’t know if you will see this now, but I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the grief of losing a child. I know how special Jordan was and is. Please take comfort in the fact that Jordan’s legacy will live on because of the love he so freely gave to others. Your son gave me the gift of a wonderful, special, loving friendship and I will cherish that friendship for the rest of my life.

I love you Jordan, sleep now with no pain my friend. 🩷

My Dearest Baby Brother,
“Wishing you were somehow here again. Wishing you were somehow near. Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed. Somehow you would be here”
Lyrics from our favourite musical.
You have made the last two years of my life positively incredible. You’ve taught me to enjoy and appreciate life, you’ve taught me to love.
In your words, always drink the good wine.

I will never forget our memories and our time together. From bathtub wines and increasingly loud sing-a-longs. Elton John concerts and Jazz bands. From always trying to find the highest bar to enjoy our Champagne.

You were one incredible light in my life and you will be sorely missed.

The baby brother I never had. I’m so honoured you thought of me as a sister. Please remember that “Love Never Dies” and I will always remember you.

All my love,
Your Big Sister,
Nikki Bell

Jordan We remember you as a very spirited and passionate young boy who loved to entertain and who was so loved!
We are so sorry you suffered so much but we believe your effervescent qualities always shined through.
We send lots of love and strength to your Mum, Pete and your family as well as many friends that we shall all find comfort that you are at rest. You certainly lived life as full as possible!

My deepest condolences for the family and friends of Jordan. He'll be deeply missed by so many.

I met Jordan in Lubbock at Texas Tech University. We quickly became friends, bonding over our love of Apple and nerdy musings. Even through the years we stayed very close - continuously texting and keeping in contact. While Jordan was at SMU, he would often share how classes were going or the many publications he would be featured in. Never one to shy away from his accolades - I always deeply admired his wit & humor.

As we continued our lives, we still made time to talk and see each other when we could. He came to visit me in Los Angeles in 2019 and then we also met up in 2021 in San Francisco. Not only will these visits stick with me but the multiple facetimes and messages as well. Sadly never was able to fulfill my promise of seeing him in Melbourne.

Jordan was a wonderfully beautiful person and impacted so many lives; both personally and professionally. He had such ambition - working his way through school, law school, with a desire to go to med school as well. I’ll never forget the way he loved watching Apple keynotes, his infatuation with broadway shows, the allegiance to Taylor Swift (listening to her as I write this), and his never-ending love for James Bond. I love you and will miss you my friend, hope you’re at peace now. ❤️

Jordan, your time was cut far too short but we cherish the moments we were able to share with you. You had so many interests and passions, all explored with your deep intellect and positive attitude.

We are very glad and fortunate to have been able to spend the last couple years with Jordan, having him back in Aus and joining our family dinners and events.

Sending our love and thoughts to Liz and Les, and the rest of the family.

Love Marni and Tess (& Angus and Ben)

Dear Pete & Liz,
Just wanted to say how much we love you guys and feel for you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you every day. Jordan is at peace now and looking down on all of us telling us that's OK and that he loves you both very, very much. God bless you. The Fairbairn Family

Jordan in so so many levels your time here was way too short.

I wish I had more time with you but felt a deep connection very early on.

It was an honour and a privilege to know you fir even the shortest of time.

You were such a smart, intelligent, charismatic and bloody funny person.

We will miss you dearly and look forward to when our souls collide in another world.

My deepest sympathy to Liz and Peter. I felt very sad when I heard about Jordan's unexpected and untimely death.
RIP Jordan

Dear Liz and family

I just saw this posting on social media and I am so very sad to hear of the passing of your sweet Jordan. I have no idea what has happened but know certainly that his tim here was way too short, I enjoyed so much the time working with both you and Jordan Liz, and I hope, and will certainly pray, that the Lord wraps His loving arms around all of you to carry you through the weeks and months ahead, My deepest sympathies to all of you……praying for you and all those who knew and loved Jordan.

Much love,
Becky

With thoughts of deep sympathy to Liz, Les, Pete, Chris and families on the shock loss of dear Jordan.
At this sad and difficult time no words can convey what we feel for you.
As life goes by may the precious memories of the great times we all shared with him never fade from our hearts.
Special tribute to theatre loving Jordan -
“Goodnight sweet Prince. And flights of angels send thee to thy rest” W. Shakespeare

With deepest sympathy

It is difficult to find the right words to adequately reflect on such a devastating loss. We have been thinking of you all constantly and have been talking about Jordan, when he was young and then again when he came back to Australia. We remember when the cousins were little and played dress-ups and families on Friday nights together. It was so cute. Jordan was the dad. Marni always wanted to be the dog! We also remember when we shared a holiday in Noosa together and the kids were toddlers. Jordan was so talented and intellectually brilliant and enjoyed exploring his deep interests. He had so many challenges to face in his too short life, but he always seemed to be upbeat and positive for the future. We are so sad and send love to you at this overwhelming and heartbreaking time.
All our love,
Danny & Nikki

I only saw Jordan a few times in his short life but we shared an obsession with musical theatre in his adult years and we had booked to see a show later this year when I visit Melbourne. I was looking forward to keeping in touch, getting to know him better and seeing shows together whenever we were in the same town but sadly that will not happen now. Jordan was so full of Joie de Vivre when we went to The Phantom of the Opera (I think it was at least the 10th time he had seen it around the world) late last year that you would never guess his life was full of medical procedures and pain.

I will miss his wonderful intensity and ability to be in the moment as I am sure all his friends and family will; especially his Mum Liz (my cousin.). Liz I wish you courage at this difficult time and hope the wonderful memories provide you with some comfort. Lots of love from Robert.

Dear Jordan,

You were such a cute kid with your curly brown hair and various police costumes or tuxedos.

It was wonderful to re-connect with you as an adult. Despite the number of years that had passed you still called me by my nickname “Chops” and I felt at home with you right away.

Conversation and dinners with you were always a guaranteed laugh. You were so smart – my younger brother who was much smarter than me - if I ever had a question, I knew you would have the answer.

I will always hold our memories close to my heart and I will be thinking of you every time I hear a Taylor Swift song.

Love Chops xox

It is with sadness that we must write this to you, dear Jordan. How we wish we had the chance to say it to your face.

You recently re-entered our lives with such gusto! Full of passion, positivity & eccentricity! We know very well that life wasn’t always this way for you but when it was, you made the most of it.

Thank you for making our lives richer during the time you were with us. We are so deeply sorry your life was cut so short.

You are always in our hearts.

Nick, Fi, Ned, Lewie, Elliot, Frank, Indi & Rosie xxxxxxx

Dear Jordan,
It was so good to re-connect with you over the past few years. I'm so glad to have the time we got to spend with you.
I hope where you are now there is no pain and plenty of musicals for you to attend.
RIP brother.
Michael.

Dear Jordan,

It is so sad even writing this. You were a shining light for the time we were lucky enough to know you.

I know Johnny loved having you at family functions, you were both so similar and he will miss his Lego buddy.

Rest in peace

Michael, Alex, Johnny

Jordan we will miss you so much. You were so easy to talk to and had such smart, witty and interesting points.
You were so wildly funny too. You’ve made us all laugh out loud until our jaws hurt.
Your strength and positivity through many challenges and hurdles was inspiring. Few people would be as stoic as you were.
You will always be remembered for your humour, your intelligence, your contribution to social service, causes and clubs; and of course your style.
Jordan I will miss our conversations and shared love of TS, cocktails and movies. Vale.

Mark and I are so shocked and heartbroken with the sudden loss of Jordan. He was such an intelligent young man and had so much to offer the world. He was very stoic and faced the world with a smile and a lot of positivity despite suffering with a lot of pain. He brought a lot of happiness to my family’s life and we are lucky to have known him.

Peter,
Our thoughts and prayers with you and your family in these difficult times.

Ghanem

You touched my life in a beautiful way. Your smile, your friendship, your songs, you always sang at my show,will forever live on in my heart. I just heard the Phil Collins song I liked you to sing yesterday, out of the blue on the radio and said aloud Jordan!It is such a rare song that isn't heard on the airwaves anymore. Your light will forever shine my friend. This is a picture of Jordan and Dan at a celebration of life held at Barbara's Pavillion in which Jordan was a part of invited singers to sing a song for our departed friend Steven Geer.

Jordan, we are still at a loss for words, which is ironic because you had an amazing way with them. We are deeply sorry and sending so much love and strength to Liz & Pete and Les & Chris.

There were so many special memories shared with Jordan over the years including childhood skits, going to Ballarat, watching James Bond, going to Phantom of the Opera and visiting Jordan in Texas.

We are so grateful to have had Jordan back home over the past 2 years and he will forever be missed. RIP - I’m picturing Jordan on the other side of the rainbow pursuing his doctor dreams and healing all in pain.

All our love
Steph and Ash
💔❤️

Jordan,

Taken too soon, you'll be greatly missed. While your time in Australia was relatively short compared to your years in America, the moments we shared were very special. Your journey from America to Australia painted the story of your adventurous spirit. Your love for scotch and the iconic James Bond added your unique touch to our memories. We'll hold onto these moments and the love you had for family and friends.

Rest in peace,
Dion

Jordan, I remember you as a baby and you were so cute with your blond curly hair. I will never forget your love to entertain us all with your beautiful voice especially singing phantom of the opera.
I enjoyed being your nana and I have fond memories of our special times together especially when Papa Berti and I came a few times to visit you in the USA.
I was so thrilled you moved back to Australia and be reunited with the family again.
I loved going to musicals and dinners with you, and you will always have a special place in my heart. I loved hearing when you said to me, I love you Nana.
Jordan I will always love you too. xxx

Jordan, a young man with so much to live for.
During your life that had been tragically cut short you went through more than anyone should during a full journey yet you never complained and always saw a light at the end of the tunnel.
The last 2 years have been an adventure having you back in Melbourne and the family will never be the same.
To Les and Liz we know your lives and those of your families will never be the same but Jordan’s smile and quick should bring you all some “quantum of solace”.
Much strength to you all during these difficult times.

Jordan,

You'll always be with us forever. So many special memories growing up together, and it was so special having you back in Australia with the family over the last few years.

We will miss having you around with your positive attitude, humorous nature, and intelligent personality.

Rest easy ❤️
Love Cory.

Jordan will be missed by many in the U.S. Jordan's cocktail webcast during the pandemic gave me something to look forward to each week. Without Jordan's humor and bartender knowledge, the times spent isolated during the pandemic would of been just a blur. You will be missed my friend. Thank you for the opportunity to meet. Cheers to you always!

Jordan will be dearly missed by the whole Burger clan. There was never a dull moment with Jordan. Always entertained the room with laughter, joy and excitement . A very intelligent person that will be missed forever.
Charlieb

We are shocked and deeply saddend by Jordan's passing. We loved growing up spending time together at family dinners/occasions, especially Friday nights at Nana and Papa's house. Jordan was always so entertaining and confident. It was amazing to reunite when Jordan returned to Melbourne a couple years ago. We enjoyed sharing stories, drinking a glass of scotch, and Bianca loved discussing law with you. The family will not be the same without you. Love Joel and Bianca

Jordan was a joy to teach in the 8th grade at West Briar middle school in Houston, Texas. Throughout his undergraduate years and throughout his law school years he became like my third son. He referred to me as momma Stanford. He accomplished a lot in his short life. His sudden passing is still hard to believe and accept. My deepest sympathies to his wonderful family who will remain in my continued thoughts and prayers. I will miss him so much. I can take comfort that he is no longer in any pain. May his memory be a blessing.

Jordan was such a special guy. I really enjoyed our friendship over the years and staying at the Bell house in summer of 2016. I can still taste the amazing food and feel all the laughs at dinner.

It really is amazing to see all the things he was able to accomplish. I’m fortunate I was able to call him a friend, and I hope that I was able to help make his life a little better.

He’s cheering us all on from above now! See you again someday, bro.

To Liz and Peter, Les and Chris and families

There are no words that can express the sorrow we feel for you all.

We are so thankful that we have had special family time with Jordan over the last few years. Jordan was always positive and upbeat and planning to achieve new milestones despite his physical challenges.
He was so clever and so talented in so many ways. He was also so appreciative to all those around him, for even simple gestures family and friends would show.
Jordans messages would always end with thanks for checking in.

Jordan we will miss you and your vibrant personality, may you rest in peace.
Loving you always.
Auntie Sharon and Uncle David xxx

Jordan it was an absolute pleasure getting to know you over the past few years and creating cherished memories.

After hearing about Dana's childhood memories for so long, it was truly heartwarming to become a part of the journey and share in the joy. Your humor, easy going nature, passion for music, movies, fine alcohol, and delicious food made every moment enjoyable. Your presence during family gatherings will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace. Xx

Jordan,

I will always remember the fun times we had as children together - you brought us cousins into the world of Bond, phantom of the Oprah and Science. You were extremely bright, beyond your age, yet also loved to have a laugh.

We will always think of you and remember the good times we shared together.

Love your cuz,
Dana xxx

I enjoyed spending time with Jordan especially over the last few months. He was always so caring, witty, appreciative and loving towards all the family.
We will miss him at the family celebrations.
Wishing the whole family a long life.
Sending love and condolences ❤️
Toni

Sending our heartfelt sympathy to Liz Pete and all of Jordan’s family at this sad and difficult time xxx

Jordan, you were such an intelligent man with a great sense of humour! I always enjoyed our time together and loved sharing a laugh with you! I’ll miss your presence at all family events and saddened we never laughed and talked over a movie together.
Sending love and sincere condolences to Liz & Les and the whole family xo
RIP Jordan ♥️
