Lonzie Jordan

Lonzie Jordan, 76, of Mabelvale, Arkansas, passed away September 23, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was born September 2, 1950, in Little Rock, Arkansas, to the late George and Beluah (Freeman) Jordan.

Lonzie was a hardworking man who believed in doing a job right. He worked in the maintenance department for the Little Rock Housing Authority, where his many skills served him well. Whether it was electrical work, plumbing, construction, or just about anything that needed to be repaired, Lonzie had a way of figuring it out and getting it done. He truly was a man of many talents, and he passed that same strong work ethic down to his children.

When he wasn’t working, Lonzie enjoyed being outdoors. He was an avid hunter and took great pride in working in his yard. He also loved tinkering with motors and had the skill and patience to rebuild cars from the ground up. Lonzie enjoyed working with his hands, and there wasn’t much he couldn’t build, fix, or repair.

As talented and hardworking as Lonzie was, his greatest pride was his family. He loved them deeply and was a devoted husband, a loving daddy, and a treasured Paw Paw. The lessons he taught, the example he set, and the love he gave will continue to live on through those who knew him best.

Lonzie leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife of 31 years, Tanya Jordan; children, Justin Jordan, Kinlea Scruggs and her husband Jack, and Kyndall Bryant; grandchildren, Sutton Scruggs and Tyler Scruggs; sister, Sue Franks; brother-in-law, Joe Jarrett; special neighbors of more than 40 years who became more like family, Ricky and Tricia Aureli; and many other family members and friends who love Lonzie and will miss him always.
