Jordan Lee Brooks was born March 14, 1991, the son of Rodney Brooks and Angie Leesman-Brooks.

He is survived by his parents; one son, Abel; the mother of his child, Kayla Bailey; one brother: Caedan Brooks; paternal grandparents: Dan and Linda Brooks; three uncles: Darren Leesman, Keith Brooks, and Brad Brooks; and four cousins: Meagan, Ryan, Austin, and Rebecca.

 

Jordan was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents: Darrell Leesman and Linda Leesman.

Jordan attended Olympia High School and Heartland Community College. He was employed at Eaton Corporation in Lincoln. He was a self-taught musician who never found an instrument he couldn't learn to play, and also had a keen interest in cars. Jordan was a devoted father. He took care of his son every day.

Memorials may be made to the Atlanta National Bank for an education fund for his son, Abel.

In this tragedy, his family has taken comfort in the knowledge that his life will continue through the gift of organ donation to multiple recipients.

Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley Funeral Home of Atlanta.
