Episode 10

Steve Phillip

Jordan was a son, a brother, a stepson, a stepbrother, a loving boyfriend, a grandson, an uncle, a cousin and a best friend. He was tall and handsome and turned many a head, male and female. His friends both loved and envied him. At his funeral they described Jordan as; well-mannered, a great listener, kind and considerate, intelligent, cool but humble, ridiculously handsome, a true gentleman, humorous, “being a friend with him was never a chore”, “he was the person I would usually turn to at difficult times like this”, “he was the best and most loyal friend I ever had”, “He was remarkable in every sense”. 

 

In this powerful and compelling listen Jordan’s father, Steve Phillip, talks to Pennie Stuart about his shock and pain at losing Jordan to suicide in December 2019 and how he is turning his grief into energy and to ploughing that energy into the Jordan Legacy which aims to find practical ways of making a real difference to people who are vulnerable to suicide.  https://thejordanlegacy.com/about-jordan/
