Lee’s positive efforts and examples are more than simple local legend. He made a distinctive impact in our lives, and across Alaska.

Mr. Jordan ― in these two examples — and multiple other ones I could share was always a dedicated and professional journalist!

The one thing I will remember when I think of my dad is the fact, he was always there for me and ready with fatherly advice.

Mr. Jordan was always just a phone call away. He gave me feedback and guidance as I wrote and helped me to process professional challenges.

I first met Mr. Jordan in about 2000, shortly after he retired. I admired him, I learned from him, and I had the honor of photographing him.

It was our honor to serve with Lee on the Chinooks Board, working to bring these talented players to our community every summer.

You were a steadfast source of support and encouragement, and for this, I will forever be grateful. Thank you.

I’ve known Lee Jordan for many years and was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Over the years he was my editor, mentor, colleague, and friend.
