We are sad to announce the unexpected passing of Jordan Ray Naylor, who passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. While his family and friends are saddened by his death, they are thankful for his life. Jordan loved spending time with his family and especially with his oldest son Nash. Jordan loved playing sports and spent his last day coaching Nash on his minor league baseball team. Being a Father and spending time with his family is what Jordan loved the most. Just recently before his passing, Jordan spent an evening dancing with his youngest boy Paxx at a friend’s wedding until he fell asleep. His long time Sweetheart Shala was the love of his life and “partner in crime” in every adventure.

Jordan also loved to go hunting and fishing with grandpa Redmont and his uncle Steve.
