Brent Jordan

Anthony Brent Jordan, 49, passed away at his home in Alamo, Tennessee on Wednesday, September 28, 2016. Brent’s life began on January 1, 1967 to Jerry Jordan and Charlene Blaylock Jordan, the fourth of five children. Raised on the rich red dirt of Chesterville, Mississippi, Brent was never too far from either a baseball diamond or a church, as both were his passion. During high school, Brent received baseball All-State honors, and after graduating from Tupelo High School in 1985, played for Mississippi College. Brent’s love for baseball was surpassed only by his love for his family and his savior Jesus Christ, and Brent never missed an opportunity to tell people about both. An avid story teller, Brent loved to laugh and make others laugh. He was a father, a son, a husband, a brother and a friend. He will be mourned by those who loved him and missed by all who knew him. He was preceded in death by his daughter: Shanda Jordan and his son Noah Jordan.
