“My love of a father, Clay Brooks Jordan, went to paradise to meet Jesus and be reunited with his beautiful wife!” Andy and I are devastated, but we find solace in knowing they are reunited and he is no longer in misery. We adore you, Dad! You will always be my HERO!”
He was portrayed as a villain on Survivor Thailand but Clay Jordan was one of the greatest men I’ve ever known. He will be missed by everybody who knew & loved him. He probably already has a golf game going on in Heaven! The Survivor family lost a great one today. #LoveYouClay pic.twitter.com/XyQOkoC1vr
