HUGH JORDAN Obituary

HUGH E. JORDAN

Hugh E. Jordan, 84, of Piqua, passed away at 8:35 p.m. Saturday, July 20, 2024 at Hospice of Miami County. He was born December 2, 1939 in Goes Station, Ohio to the late Walter and Gladys (Payne) Jordan. He married Sally S. (Buirley) Jordan August 30, 1980 and she survives.

Other survivors include six children, Gordy (Suzanne) Westfall, Tracy (Rich) Hunt, Sarah (Frank) Patrizio, Penny (Chris) Gano, Tracy (Jim) McCann, and Ronice Jones; nine grandchildren, Tara, Becky, Dustin (Victoria), Kayla (Dustin), Kassie (Mason), Kory, Frank (Autumn), Layne (Logan), and Erin (Zack); five great grandchildren, Braxton, Lane, Natalie, Hugo, and Ben; also many other nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Hugh was preceded in death by his daughter, Terry Dawn; and five siblings, Virginia, Vera, Norma, Jim, and Butch.

Hugh was very patriotic and honorably served his country in the U.S. Navy as a 3rd Class Radio Operator on the U.S.S. Boston from February 4, 1957 to November 21, 1960 and enjoyed sharing stories from his service time with friends and family. He drove a truck for Emery Worldwide and retired from SEW Eurodrive after many years of hard work and dedication. Hugh was a people person and had never met a stranger, and enjoyed riding around town with the top down in the Mustang to get a Mocha Frappe from McDonalds, Dairy Queen, or to go see his second family at Chick-Fil-A. He was also a big fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cleveland Browns. Most of all, Hugh loved his family and cherished the time he spent with them.

"Only the Phantom Knows."
