About Jordan Jahner

Jordan Paul Jahner was an aspiring First Responder when he passed away on September 8, 2019.  He was born in Bismarck, ND on December 4, 1993, the son of Steven Jahner and Melinda (Ellefson) Jahner. 

Jordan grew up a military brat and was fortunate to travel more in his 25 years than most people do in a lifetime. He attended grades 1-3 in Crofton, MD, grades 4-5 in Heidelberg, Germany, middle school in Bismarck, ND and graduated high school in Stafford, VA. Jordan was attending Braxton College in Bonita Springs, FL at the time of his death.  

He completed the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course and was attending the Firefighter course when he passed away.  Braxton College presented him an Honorary Firefighter certification at his class’ graduation on December 14, 2019. Additionally, Braxton College presented two $500 scholarships in his name and memory.

 Throughout his short life, Jordan made many lifelong friends across the country.  He loved so many outdoor activities, to include motorcycle riding, ATV riding, scuba diving and hiking through the woods.  Numerous people have expressed appreciation for the selfless help that Jordan quietly provided them.

Jordan enjoyed working as a mechanic and General Manager.  He “turned wrenches” in Springfield, Ohio and Naples, FL. He was honored to serve as General Manager for AAMCO in Fort Pierce, FL.  Although he enjoyed fixing cars, he found his calling as a First Responder.

Jordan’s kind and most caring spirit lives on through eighteen scholarships for First Responder’s education, equipment and training!
