Gregory Kent Jordison, known affectionately as Greg, passed away on April 30, 2024, in Independence, Missouri. He was born on October 14, 1954, in the same town to his loving parents Verle and Barbara Jordison.
Greg led a fulfilling life as a diesel mechanic for the Associated Grocers, where his passion for working on cars shone through in every project he undertook. He graduated from Raytown High School and dedicated himself to mastering his craft with skill and precision.
Described as fun, smart, caring, and kind by those who knew him best, Greg's warm personality left a lasting impression on all who crossed his path. When he wasn't under the hood of a vehicle, his hobbies included crafting a prized remodel of a 1934 Plymouth and painting birdhouses—gifts from family and friends to add to his collection of miniature cars.
Greg is survived by his devoted wife Peggy Jordison, step-children Eli Noland and Hannah Bridgewater (Tony Restivo), step-grandchildren Joel Noland, Ryan Bridgewater, and Valentina Restivo, sister Sheila Woolf and her family, extended family members, and a multitude of dear friends who were touched by his generosity and had the privilege of experiencing his unwavering kindness.
In the quiet moments spent surrounded by loved ones sharing stories of times gone by, Greg will be forever cherished for the joy he brought into the lives of so many. His legacy as a dedicated mechanic and a beloved husband, father figure, grandfather figure, brother figure - friend lives on in the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing him.
May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace as we continue to carry forward the lessons he imparted through his actions and unwavering love for those around him.
