It is with profound sorrow that we share the passing of Jordan Willey, who bravely lost his battle with leukemia yesterday. A native of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, Jordan was just 24 years old — a life of immense promise and potential cut tragically short. His loss is deeply felt by family, friends, and the countless communities whose lives he touched with his warmth, intellect, and kindness.
A proud graduate of Wofford College, Jordan was admired for his intelligence, humility, and unwavering dedication to everything he pursued. Those who knew him remember a young man whose charisma, gentle nature, and genuine smile could brighten any room. Whether among friends, classmates, or colleagues, Jordan carried himself with quiet confidence, integrity, and a deep respect for those around him.
Jordan’s passion for service was evident in his professional endeavors, including his work on Senator Tim Scott’s campaign, where he approached every challenge with focus, purpose, and a desire to make a meaningful impact. His dedication to contributing to something larger than himself reflected a maturity and sense of mission that inspired those around him. He believed in kindness, in service, and in leaving the world better than he found it — principles that guided both his personal and professional life.
Though Jordan’s time with us was heartbreakingly brief, his legacy is one of inspiration and love. The compassion, drive, and light he shared with friends, family, and colleagues will continue to live on in the memories of those who were fortunate to know him. While we mourn the future he will not see, we can take solace in the positive mark he already left on the world.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jordan’s family, friends, and all who loved him during this unimaginable time. No parent should face the loss of a child, and no community should say goodbye to someone so bright and full of promise. May those who grieve find comfort in the support surrounding them, and may Jordan’s spirit continue to inspire courage, compassion, and purpose in others.
Jordan Willey will be remembered as a radiant light — a young man whose warmth, intelligence, and heart will forever remain in the lives of all who knew and loved him. His memory will endure as a guiding light for all whose lives he touched.
