Jeffrey R Jordan

Trusting in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ, we remember with thanksgiving what God accomplished through the life of His servant, Jeff.

Jeffrey “Jeff” Robert Jordan, 64, of Boulder City, NV, was called home to heaven on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at his home, spending his final hours with his wife of 34 years by his side. Jeff lived a life marked by unwavering faith, deep love for his family, and quiet generosity.

Jeff was born in Ames, IA on June 2, 1962 to Donald Jordan and Janice (Smith) Jordan. He was baptized as a child of God on September 9, 1962 and confirmed in the Christian faith on May 16, 1976. He married Jennifer (Farmer) Jordan on September 21, 1991, and God blessed them with four children. Although his final home was Boulder City, he lived in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Georgia, Massachusetts, and California.

Jeff is survived by his wife; children, Amanda Billy of Santa Barbara, CA, Mitchell (Brittney) Billy of Dallas, GA, Drew (Megan) Jordan of Biloxi, MS, and Nicole (Russell) Baade of Newbury Park, CA; grandchildren, Bristol Billy, Arthur, Calvin Jeffrey, and Violet Baade, and Tessmer Robert Jordan; and sister, Debra Jordan of Lincoln, IL. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Jeff graduated as valedictorian from Lincoln High School in 1980 before earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Actuarial Science from Drake University in 1984. By the age of 25, he had passed all of the actuarial examinations, becoming the youngest person to become a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society at the time. He enjoyed a distinguished 40-year career as a property and casualty insurance actuary. After becoming a partner at Ernst & Young, Jeff started Jordan Actuarial Services in 2003, building a highly successful consulting practice. One of God’s greatest blessings to Jeff was the opportunity to work from home for the final 20 years of his career, allowing him to attend nearly every sporting event and milestone in the lives of his children before retiring in 2024.

Jeff loved to travel with his wife and children. His favorite adventures were following his beloved St. Louis Cardinals to new ballparks and hiking through America’s national parks. A meticulous planner, he delighted in reading travel guides cover to cover and creating detailed itineraries to make the most of every destination. Before ALS ended his travels, Jeff visited 23 of the 30 Major League stadiums, 51 of the nation’s 63 national parks, 48 of the 50 states, and numerous countries around the world.

Music was another of Jeff’s greatest passions, and sharing his quirky, eclectic taste with his family brought him particular joy. He built an iTunes library of more than 15,000 songs, continually searching for new artists and hidden gems to share with Drew and Nicole through his thoughtfully chosen “Song of the Day” YouTube videos. He enjoyed seeing artists live, ranging from The Cars to “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Jeff loved statistics, lists, and the simple satisfaction of keeping track of the things that interested him. He maintained extensive wine, movie, and album lists, and he happily devoted countless hours to managing his fantasy baseball and football teams.

Anyone who knew Jeff will remember him for his dry, quick wit and his strong Christian faith.

Visitation will be July 11, 2026, at 9:00 am at Christ Lutheran Church, 1401 5th St., Boulder City, NV, 89005. Funeral service will follow immediately at 10:00 am. Family and friends are invited to leave memories and condolences at www.starmortuary.com
