In loving memory of

Jordan Kramer Lees

Jordan Kramer Lees passed away from a traumatic brain injury on October 13, 2019. He was born April 4, 1989, in Phoenix, AZ, to John and Nancy Lees and became a brother to Matt. Jordan attended Sandra Day O'Connor High School and graduated from Cactus High School in 2007. He attended ASU for one year and then found his calling in the restaurant service industry. Jordan will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, contagious laugh, kind heart and gregarious personality. He loved being a bartender - the perfect job for someone who loved talking with and being around people. He loved the Lord, his family, his many friends, his dog Luca, music festivals and the band Brand New, swimming, snowboarding, soccer, riding his bike and cheering for the NY Giants. Jordan loved people and had a kind and generous heart. Galatians 6:10 says, "as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people." So although they mourn his tragic loss, his family is humbled that Jordan was able to do so much good through the gift of organ donation. His legacy will be the many people he will give life to. We will celebrate his life and honor him as a true hero. Jordan was a beloved son to his parents, brother to Matt, brother‐in­‐law to Emily and proud Uncle Jojo to Harper (he called her Harpoon) and Nolan. He will also be remembered by his grandparents and extended family in NM, TX and OK, as well as by his many friends. A memorial service for Jordan will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 2, 2019, at Christ Church of the Valley - Peoria (CCV Peoria), 7007 W Happy Valley Rd., Bldg. 4000, Peoria. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Donor Network of AZ, Education Fund, 201 W Coolidge St., Phoenix, 85013 in the name of Jordan Kramer Lees. Donations may also be made online at www.dnaz.org

"Mary and I read about Jordan. We lost a grandson a few years ago from a freakish auto accident. It felt like losing a son. We can only say we are sorry for your loss and grieve with you. Knowing he grew up in a family like yours with love, support, honor, strength, and morality I am sure God will continue to treat him with the same heavenly love that he enjoyed here on earth. Wishing you strength and peace during this hard time. Again our heart felt condolences. Mary and Les shauf"
