It is so hard to believe that Dan is gone. He was truly one of a kind; sweet, loving, caring, and so fun to be around with his incredible laugh. His smile always brightened your day.
We had a great dinner group that Dan started, every month he'd always pick the place, date and time. It was always a good time.
Our sincere condolences to his family and Phyllis.
Danny and Claudia

The first time I met Dan was through his older brother Chuck. When we were introduced Dan was probably around 13- years old. He was riding a bicycle without a shirt on. I remember thinking this kid is one powerful kid Haha! He went on to prove that title becoming a champion Lincoln High wrestler. Later in life Danny helped me out doing all the electrical work restoring Charlie Colosimos old fruit building, where I started my first company. Good young kid, exceptional athlete, good man, and good friend. I have always had great respect for Dan Jorden, you will be missed brother. I am in the late twilight of my days. I look forward to seeing you once again!

Jordo will be missed.
We did a lot of riding with him in the late 90s and there was never a dull moment!
I remember a particular poker run where we made some additional stops & had to fly down the interstate to get to the last stop.
Everyone else who followed the route got rained on but not us because we made our own route!

Danny will be missed by so many. I hadn't seen Danny in many years but was always kept up to date by my sister and cousin on how he was doing. I want to give my deepest condolences to his family! You are all in my thoughts and prayers! RIP Danny!

There will never be another Dan. That smile, that laugh, that heart. I'm praying his family can find comfort in knowing he is at perfect rest.
