I did not know Jordan in this life, but my fiancé was close with him during their college years working under his influence. I was honored to attend the memorial of such an amazing soul, who clearly had an immeasurable touch on so so many, and hope that whatever peace he has found, that it can be reached for and continually felt throughout the path of your grief. Jordan is undoubtedly going to be missed even by those who never had the privilege of enjoying his life and embrace. I’m so sorry for your loss. 

Dan,  

So very sorry for the loss of your son. My thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear of the loss of Jordan. I worked with him YEARS ago at 55th Street McDonald’s when we were all kids.  I have always enjoyed running into him around town. It was always nice to see him at some of the downtown events we were participating in. He had a unique style and such a kind way about him. A very cool guy who will be missed. 

Dear Dan and  Family, so SORRY for your loss.  It has to be so hard to lose one of your children.  Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Take Care My Friend and BE STRONG,

Pat Schulte

Dan and Family,

I'm so very sorry to hear about Jordan's passing. Some of my fondest memories of playing music involved Jordan and the Spectrum Pro Audio team. He was always so much fun to work with and, through all of those great experiences, I was lucky enough to consider him a friend. Hanging out after shows, jamming to music and making jokes/having a good laugh will forever be how I remember Jordan. 

Every time I'd visit Rochester, it was always a highlight to see him out randomly. He would smile and give a big hug - truly leaving a mark and making life feel better for me every time I saw him.

I know he's enjoying some tunes right now, and I know we'll meet again. Sending love to you all.

Sending all of my love to Jordan’s family and friends. Jordan was a beautiful soul, always such a helpful, approachable person whom I loved chatting with at events. The whole Spectrum team was always amazing and I can’t imagine your grief at losing one of your own at such a young age. My heart goes out to all of you. 

I hope the pain of your loss fades and you can focus on the fond memories you have of Jordan.

I met Jordan as a coworker, and to be completely honest, I didn't like him at first, because his behavior towards me was very arrogant.

However, my last interaction with him was a wide-ranging conversation about things we had in common, and I got to see the kind, open-minded person that everyone has been describing in their condolences.

Best wishes

To the Van Hook Family,

Both Julie and I are extremely saddened by the sudden passing of Jordan.

We do understand your grief and pain and know that this is not easy for any of you.

Time will help heal and you will never forget the good times spent as a family and also the challenging times.

We did not know him like many other people that were in his life, but what we did come to recognize is that he was a gentle soul, a kind person, and loved by all.

Our sincere condolences to your entire family.

RIP Jordan 

Dick & Julie Berry 

My condolences to you and the family. So sorry for your loss praying for you and the family.

When I think of Jordan my memory drifts back as when he was a little boy intently watching The Wizzard of Oz over and over and over again, pointing at the TV when an exciting part aired. By a blink of an eye he grew up and we would run into each other on Thursdays on first aS a time to catch up on what was going on in our lives. As recent as a few weeks ago we had a long visit at his house when Dan was away with Sprectrum events. Again, we  caught up on what was going on in our lives. We also had a personel conversation  that I will always remember. Jordon was always a upbeat person who seemed to enjoy conversing on a number of subjects.  He was a neat guy that now flys with the angels

Dan, Susan, Melissa and Alison, we are sorry you lost Jordan.  Our memories with your family go back decades to us being neighbors on 25th Street.  We were young and so was your family.  Many good memories of Jordan as a boy.  We are keeping all of you close in our hearts and sending love and prayers your way.

Teresa & Kevin Doran

Melissa and Family, 

I am so sorry to hear of this, My families condolences go out to you and yours. 

Gary, Candee, Gabriel, Theodore and Loukas Mills

Hello to the family of Jordan,

I didn't know Jordan well but remember his fondness for music.  His smile was contagious and his long, red hair was awesome!  

I'm so sad for all of his family.  He was much too young to die.  Times like these make me angry at the disease of alcoholism.

May the love and prayers of friends and family support you during this time.

With sincere love,

Sarah Sperling

Our deepest sympathies to Jordan's family at this difficult time.  Jordon was really one-of-a-kind. Our son, Paul, and he shared an apartment right after graduating high school and he was the most kind person.  Many wonderful memories will be cherished.

Duane and Mary Beth Hart

Jordan, what a great human you were to ALL people! It didn’t matter the situation that person was in, always was willing to give you a hug and lead an ear. 

Just a generous soul and will be missed.

Yvonne 

My sincere condolences with the passing of Jordan.  I enjoyed working with him at the Mayo Civic Center and found him to be respectful and kind to everyone that he encountered.

Thoughts and prayers.

David Silker

To the family please except my sincere condolences for your loss may the good times remembered help heal the heart in time. May God continue to bless the rest of the family. 

Our dear friend Jordan.
TRULY a friend to all. Even writing that feels like a huge understatement.
A staple of the Rochester live music scene for so long. 
You were always a positive influence on everyone around, a great neighbor, and will forever be immortal.

So blessed to have known you and called you friend. We won’t get a chance to play in each other’s hair now. I’ll miss you. Prayers to your family. May God comfort your hearts during this challenging time.

Always a great friend and truly awesome person with a heart of gold. Love you bro. You will be missed.

Jordan was a special person- my heart hurts and I’m not sure what else to say. I’m sorry guys, he will be so missed.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Jordan. It's hard to think that the last Jordan hug I got is the last one I'll get. 

I cant imagine what you're all feeling. Jordan's larger than life personality and willingness to help however he could make him that much harder to miss. Our entire community feels this loss. He's hugged so many people. 

Rest in Peace my wonderful friend. Love you. 

I can't imagine the grief you are feeling. I met Jordan through him hosting trivia on Tuesday nights at Beetles. He did a great job making that night fun and enjoyable for everyone. I am sorry for your loss. 

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jordan was a kind soul and always gave the best hugs. He made me smile and laugh. I loved when he lived with Sterling and I. I considered him as a son. I was Mom number 12 and cherish this. I loved him and miss him very much. All my hug and prayers to your family.

Melissa, Susan, and family -

We are so deeply sorry to hear about Jordan and will be keeping you in our hearts during this difficult time. There are no words that can help with the pain, but we hope his memory helps through the grief. May he rest in peace. 

Love,

The Learys

There's no words that can ease this pain. Jordan was such a bright light in this world and the amount of love he had and received is overwhelming. We love you all and he will be missed more than I can express. 

Jordan was really a light in this dark world.  Very sorry to hear of his passing.  I will cherish the memories   My heart goes out to all his family & friends.  My sincerest condolcences ??????

Dan, Alison, and family, 

This news is heart wrenching, Jordan was a beautiful giant soul. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you. 

May he rest in peace.

Sinead. 

Dan, Alison and Liz-

My deepest condolences are with you as you face this tremendous loss. Jordan will be missed and remembered by those of us who had the good fortune to know him. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Nood Reynolds

Life's journey often results in losing contact or relationships not being continued. However, I do have fond memories of family interactions and cousin play between my daughter Kimberly and Jordan during their childhoods.

My heartfelt condolences.

Ken Kroenke

You can see the kindness and humor behind his eyes. I will always remember Jordan. A friend-to-all, talented, open-minded, intelligent, thoughtful, incredibly caring and easygoing, yet strong-willed individual.

My heart goes out to his family and friends, to everyone whose life he impacted. He will surely be missed.

Oh man.. this hits me hard. 

Jordan Van Hook you will be missed brother.

Will miss you a ton, you were one of the few people I kept in touch with after I got diagnosed with MS and removed myself from the music scene.

Jordan was always the best at good convo, great knowledge, and amazing big man hugs. 

You truly were one of the best people I have had the pleasure of knowing from our time working together and back when I hosted concerts. This is heartbreaking, and wherever you are brother, please be at peace. 

Your hugs were things of legend. 

Rest my friend. ?

It hard to lose someone that has had such a giant impact on so many. Even more heart breaking to lose them at a young age. He will be remembered for the love he spread be just being in the room. There is no such thing as being perfect, but when it came to bringing joy when you needed it most, he was close to. His selfless ability to make others smile no matter what snuggles he was experiencing, was inspiring. I wouldn't be half the person had I not meet Jordan. He made me want to be more kind, caring, and selfless. If you need help, his hand would be there. If you needed love, his arms would be encompassing you. 

I cannot say goodbye, because he will always be with me. But it will be hard for me to make peace with the knowledge that I have had my last embrace in this life and that it had been so long ago. I can only hope he has found peace in the great beyond, and that I will be able to be with him again someday. 

There is so much more that I feel is important to be said, but I don't think the words exist to describe my pain, love, and condolences to all who knew him. Just know that I am with you in your pain, and so are so many others.

You can see the kindness and humor behind his eyes. I will always remember Jordan. A friend-to-all, talented, open-minded, intelligent, thoughtful, incredibly caring and easygoing, yet strong-willed individual.

My heart goes out to his family and friends, to everyone whose life he impacted. He will surely be missed.

Dear Dan & Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember on one occasion when we came over to your house and we played in the basement with Jordan and crew. I remember Jordan being so kind and loved that the adults let us watch Caddyshack! 

Thinking about you during this unbearable time of grief. I hope you're able to share many happy memories with family and friends in the weeks to come.

Sincerely,

Jaclyn (Ryan's daughter)

Dear Dan & family, we are so sorry for your loss. Dot & Van are rejoicing in heaven with their grandson - God has his hands full. 

Please know of our love, hugs and prayers.
