Byron "Pat" Jordan passed away on January 14, 2022 at the age of 83. A native of Baton Rouge, LA, he was born on December 6, 1938 and attended Baylor University, remaining a loyal Bear supporter throughout his life. He was also a graduate of the Jefferson Military Academy. He worked in the oil service industry at French Jordan and Shield Coat. He lived most of his life around New Orleans and Houston, TX, but retired to Greenback Plantation in Mississippi full time in 2012. He was a member of the Noze Brotherhood, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical & Petroleum Engineers, and the Water Pollution Control Advisory Board in the E.P.A. He had fond memories of getting to be the King of the Krewe of Alla and loved to travel, especially taking cruises all around the world. He was an accomplished outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting in Uvalde, TX, and fishing at his camps in Toledo Bend, Empire, and Delacroix, if his collection of over 100 fishing poles was any indication. He is preceded in death by his wife, Clare Dalio Jordan, who passed away in 2012; his father, French M. Jordan; his mother, Lola Case Jordan; his daughter, Lorie Horn (Bryan); his son, Paul Wayne Jordan; and his brother, Rudy Billy Jordan.
