Billy Don Jordan

Tupelo— Billy Don Jordan, 65, passed away on February 25, 2019 at Gilmore Memorial Hospital in Amory. Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi on August 25, 1953, he was the son of Billy Douglas Jordan and the late Mary Elizabeth Froman Jordan.

During his career, he worked as a radio announcer as well as in retail at the Army Surplus in Tupelo. Billy also worked with the Lee County Sheriff’s Department. He was of the Baptist Faith.
