TupeloGabriel Ian Jordan, 18, passed away Sunday, September 14, 2014 at 2:35p.m. He was born September 3, 1996, in Columbus to James Allen Jordan and Christina Seat Jordan. He attended Tupelo Christian Preparatory School and Tupelo High School where he played in the band. As a middle school student he enjoyed playing basketball but soon discovered his love of music was greater. He became an accomplished musician playing a wide assortment of instruments that he used to touch many lives. Working for Native Son Farms, he found what he described as a time of great personal fulfillment and happiness. He was accepted into North Carolina Coastal Community College and planned to transfer to a major university in North Carolina to complete a B.A. in Percussion. We all will miss his handsome smile. His last and greatest accomplishment was giving life or improving the quality of life for over 100 people as an organ donor.
