Robert Jordan

Robert C. Jordan (Buddy/Bob), age 77, of Pipe Creek, Texas went home to be with the Lord on January 8, 2021. Bob was born on April 5, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York to Monie and Marie Jordan. The family relocated to Texas in 1951. \r\n\r\nBob joined the San Antonio Police Department in September of 1965 where he proudly served for 26 years, working on Patrol and various Task Forces including the DEA. He retired on January 8, 1991, but continued to offer his services and experience as a Criminal Investigator with the Bexar County District Attorney's Office and as a Reserve Officer until permanently retiring in 2001. \r\n\r\nAfter retirement, Bob settled into his quiet life at home in the Texas Hill Country hunting, fishing, and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He vacationed often in Las Vegas and made frequent trips to Rockport where he would visit childhood friend, Bill Shockley and his wife Jackie.\r\n\r\nA man with a routine, Bob spent his mornings getting coffee at the Barrel House, eating breakfast at Snowflake's Donuts, and driving to the Post Office with his four-legged friend Maddie riding shotgun. And every day at 2:10 p.m. you could find him enjoying a glass of Scotch with his longtime friend Ed Slater. \r\n\r\nBob was preceded in death by his parents, Monie and Marie Jordan, and his son, Keith Jordan. He is survived by his son, Robert Jordan and his wife Lisa; daughter, Ginger Cherry and her husband Bruce; stepson Michael Radoman; sister Neta Bowers; grandchildren, Cody, Kayla, Justin, Cayla, Courtney, Cassidy, Amanda, Lindsay, Hayden, and Logan; great-grandchildren, Ainsley, Kasen, Ryan, Ben, Harley, Bruce, and Coy; nephews, Todd Bowers and Michael Gibbon; nieces, Debbie Jimenez and Angel Mihalski: and numerous great-nieces and nephews. \r\n\r\nHis sharp wit, strong spirit, and tenacity will be greatly missed by his family and friends. \r\n\r\nA Celebration of Life will be held at Grimes Funeral Chapel in Bandera, Texas on January 23, 2021 at 10:00 a.m.\r\n\r\nA memorial contribution can made to the Down Syndrome Association of South Texas in Bob's honor at https://www.dsastx.org.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
