Jordan Daniel Radish
December 31, 1969 - December 31, 1969

"Jordan was a good friend. He will be sorely missed."

"Dear hurting family, I just fell upon this quite by accident. But when I was finished...I was moved to send some thought and prayer your way. I know that there will never be anything in the world to fill the void of a lost child. I have experienced this just 3 years ago. But when I looked into those eyes and that smile of the posted picture I read a warm, giving, loving soul who actually gave more to others than many do by the time of 80! Remember all the joy and special bonding moments and it will help to ease the broken heart just a bit. I am so sorry for your scar in life...I will keep you in my prayers so in time you too will heal and be strong once again. Don't loose the faith, but always question. May you be blessed with strength and healing. Respectfully, Dean E. Hess Virginia "

"To the Radish Family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Jordan was a very good friend of mine and I don't know what i'll do without him. I learned so much from Jordan on a daily basis, and he was always a constant source of laughter and enjoyment. He was one of the most brilliant and talented people I have ever met. Myself, our team, and the whole word will miss the opportunity to see the incredible things that Jordan would have done with his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you. From myself and the entire MUN team, we love you Jordan and will forever miss you. You will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace. "

"Somewhere a journey begins at the end of the world we know. Somewhere a silence is heard far away and the brightness of day fills the night, Where the trials of life are resolved into peace. When a soul finds its way to the light and a better life begins. S. Topping"

"Dr. & Mrs. Radish, We were so sorry to hear of Jordan's passing. We will always remember Jordan from when he tried to teach us how to do the "Charlie Brown" at the Christmas party. We enjoyed spending time with him when he came to the "Bring your son/daughter to work" day. We know he will be missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time."

"Dear Dr. Radish and Family, Please accept my deepest condolences. My thought and prayers are with you and your family. With Deepest Sympathy, Sonia"

"Megan and family, I am so sorry to hear about Jordan. Megan worked for me and was always a very hard working, dependable worker and I also had the pleasure of Jordan working for me briefly during prom season. His sense of humor always kept us laughing and he seemed like such a wonderful, bright young man. We never know why these things happen but I recently had a friend of mine who had lost her husband say something that may comfort you. She made the comment that her husband did not die but he just changed his address to Heaven instead of this earth. So just think of Jordan at his new, beautiful address in Heaven seeing things that we can only imagine. May the good Lord bless and keep your whole family and you will definitely be on my prayer list. Nelle White "

At times like this, we regret that neighbors do not "know" neighbors anymore - regardless, we will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. As the holidays approach, we hope you will find comfort in your Faith and the Love you share within your family. God's blessings upon each of you! --Bob & Cindy Glancy"

"I am so sorry for your loss. He was not only Allie's best friend but we also loved him like he was part of our family. He was such a generous and kind person. He was always there for Allie when she was sick. He would come over and just be with her. I feel for your family. I feel for his siblings. I too lost my brother at a young age. In fact, he was Jordan's age at the time also in his Senior year of high school. We will always remember Jordan. He will always be in our hearts. His spirit will always be alive in all of us. Merry Christmas Jordan. We will miss you this New Years Eve. You were here that past few years. It won't be the same. Rest in Peace."

"Dear Dr. Radish and family, we just learned of your loss. Please accept our deepest condolence. Jim and Debra "

"We met with a high-five at our first MUN meeting freshman year. That high-five led to one of the best friendships anyone could ever ask for. We had everything in common. We both had a huge interest in Japanese culture as well as all world cultures in general. I always looked up to Jordan. I thought of him like a brother almost. I learned so much from him, and I knew he was going to be something great. I even wrote a tribute poem to him last year in creative writing class in which I was assigned. While everyone else in the class did theirs on celebs, i chose to write about my true hero. It was called "My Best Friend Jobo". I called him Jobo because of how beautifully he played his oboe. I could go on, but I'll stop here. He was just an amazing person, period. We'll all miss you, Jobo. Rest in Peace, my friend. "

"Jordan would have been 18 tomorrow. Officially a legal adult... I'm sorry he wasn't able to reach that stage in his life. Dr Radish & family, I send you my love and prayers and support. I hope that you can truly feel embraced by God, your family, and your friends. All the best, <3 "
