Jordan Williams Alaska–
My heart sank when I read this report. “Avalanche at Thompson Pass”
You see, Jordan, a co-worker and a very nice person. He was a big guy, a Teddy Bear of a man, married (very much in love with his wife), father of three little children.
He died doing something he loved — snow machining in Alaska. Man, machine and nature.
I truly believe that when our time here, in our mortal body, is up then there is nothing for us to do –but that does not ease the sadness one feels when someone who is so young, has so much more living to experience, and has a young family nurture – when their life has ended so soon.
Remember – life is meant to be lived and to enjoy– to love and be loved — always live fully and love freely — have no regrets at the end of each day.
Jordan will be deeply missed.
