Jordan Nolen
Jordan "Jordy" Canal Nolen, 28, of Benton, Arkansas passed away March 9, 2019. He was born February 24, 1991 in Benton to Tommy and Debbie Nolen.
Jordan was a journeyman electrician currently employed at Hilltop Electric. Jordan was full of charisma. When he walked into a room, everyone immediately was drawn to him and loved him. Jordan was the protector, guardian, and caretaker of the family. He saw the world as it was and never had filters or blinders on. Jordan enjoyed sports of all kinds, but his favorites were football, baseball, and swimming at the lake. He lived life on the edge. Jordan also was a "Lord of the Rings" fan and loved to read.
Preceding Jordan in death are his paternal grandparents, Canal "C.A." and Susan Arizona Nolen; maternal grandfather, Wylie Burch; uncles: Loy Dale Nolen, Don Hanson, Wally Burch, and Ricky Burch.
