David Michael Jordan's Obituary
David Michael Jordan, age 60, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2019 surrounded by his loved ones at Mt. Olympus Rehabilitation Center.
David, also known as Dave or Rude Dawg, was born on December 29, 1958 in California where he met the love of his life, Nadine Marko, and step daughter Candice Howell. Together, they traveled the country with Dave's truck driving career. After having David Lee Jordan in Las Vegas, Nevada, they settled in Utah where they welcomed their third child, Patricia(Patti) Francis Jordan years later.
Dave was always a hard worker that would do anything to take care of his family. He definitely lived life to the fullest. There wasn't much that Dave hadn't or couldn't do. Even with his declining health, he still insisted on camping and fishing with his family, and taking young Patti to Lagoon.
There was no telling that man "No". Nothing could hold him back. Dave was the kind of man that you wanted on your team and feared of ever being on the opposing side. He was never a quiet person. Dave was always the loudest, funniest and sometimes even the most obnoxious or embarrassing person in the room. There was never a dull moment with his inappropriate jokes or his silly "Clyde Walk".
All that aside, he was a kind, loyal and giving man to anybody lucky enough to be considered family or a friend.
Dave is survived by children Candice Howell 31, David Jordan 24 and Patti Jordan 13. Also, his life long love, Nadine Marko and brother-in-law, Doni Buck. He is preceded in death by both his mother and father.
Private celebration services will be held with close family. In lieu of flowers, you may make donations for the children to Candice Howell.
