Travis Jordan, 87 of
Fruita, CO passed away
on November 6, 2022 at
HopeWest Care Center.
He was born in north east
Texas on October 25,1935.
He was preceded in death
by his loving wife, Eloise
Jordan, parents, Claude
and Dessie Jordan, 4 brothers and 4 sisters.
He is survived by 3 daughters; Sandra Embree
(Thomas), Jackie Jacquez (Dave), and Robin Whelan
(Russ), and his 10 grandchildren, 19 great-grand
children, and 1 great great-grand child.
Travis and Eloise began their lives together in San
Jose, CA. He started his excavating business in San Jose.
It was there, where he learned his trade. The summer
of 1970 is when they made the decision to move their
family, and their lives to Colorado. Over the years, he
built his business and gained the trust of many in the
Grand Valley.
He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
He left a legacy for his love of The Lord to his family
and friends. He was hard working, humble, man of few
words, who was loving and very giving (both of our
parents were very giving people). His gift of giving was
not only received by his family and friends, but also
to complete strangers. If he saw someone in need, he
would help with his time and/or money. He never sought
recognition, but quietly would give.
He loved to laugh and would announce almost every
time he came home from work to his wife and daughters
with a grand gesture of his arm that “I am home you
lucky people”. The daughters would giggle, and of
course, without anyone looking at her, they knew their
mom would be rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
Memorial Service will be held at Victory Life Church
on November 19, 2022 at 10 am. We will have an open
house starting at 3pm at Russ & Robin Whelan’s home
at 1207 18 Rd, Fruita, CO for family and friends to
celebrate his life. Come and join us.
