Thomas Grady Jordan

May 6, 1955 - February 22, 2020

In Loving Memory of Thomas Grady Jordan May 6, 1955 ~ February 22, 2020 Thomas Grady Jordan, 64, of Hattiesburg, MS, joined Our Father in Heaven on Saturday, February 22, 2020. He passed away peacefully, after a very long and brave battle with chronic lung disease. “Tommy” was growing closer with God, spending much time in His Word, over his last several years with us. He enjoyed reading his Bible and devotionals daily, and listening to sermons and hymns (as well as singing them, right up until his final days). During his final years, especially, Tommy drew strength in his faith from his strong Christian upbringing, and through encouragement from at least two true angels on earth! Tommy grew up and went to school in Petal, MS. He then worked as a heavy equipment operator, primarily at Hattiesburg Hot Mix, for several years. Later, he earned his computer science degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, and became a software test engineer for Intergraph Corporation in Huntsville, Alabama. Tommy is survived by his wife of 47 years, “Susie” (Linton) Jordan; his two daughters, Tasha (Jordan) Martin and Chrystal Skye Jordan; his grandchildren, Creston Grady “Luke” Martin and Seraphim “Sera” Bleu Helena; his little sister, Debra (Jordan) Ross; and a large extended family of in-laws, an uncle, cousins, and nieces and nephews (including greats)... locally, and from the West Coast to the East. Tommy was preceded in death by his mother, Frances Willene (Grady) Jordan; his father, Doyle Ray Jordan; several dearly departed extended family members; and, very recently, by both his brother, Larry Van Jordan, and his big sister, Frances (Jordan) Williamson. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2: 8-9
