William Jordan Mahan

William Jordan Mahan, a beloved husband, son, brother, and friend, passed away on February 4, 2025, at the age of 33. Born on January 21, 1992, in Vardaman, Mississippi, Jordan's life was filled with passion, love, and countless cherished moments that will forever be remembered by those who knew him.

William was a natural adventurer whose early years were marked by his love for horse riding, a hobby that ignited his adventurous spirit. This passion later evolved into a fondness for riding his side-by-side, where he would often explore the beautiful landscapes surrounding his home. He enjoyed spending countless hours grabbling for catfish and deer hunting, relishing every opportunity to connect with nature and share those experiences with his family and friends.

A man of deep familial ties, Jordan dedicated much of his life to working alongside his father and brother in their family business, Mahan Water and Septic. For him, this was not just a job; it was a labor of love, a chance to bond with those he cherished while contributing to his community.

Jordan's spirit was also nourished by the simple pleasures of life, such as watching the classic television show Sanford and Son with his father, which brought laughter and joy to their home.

Jordan is survived by his loving wife, Kristen Mahan of Vardaman, MS, his father, Charles Mahan of Vardaman, MS, his mother, Lisa Black Mahan of Vardaman, MS, his brother, Justin (Amanda) Mahan of Vardaman, MS, his father-in-law, David Bunch of Mantachie, MS, his mother-in-law, Denesa Bunch of Mantachie, MS, and his beloved niece and nephew, Reagan and Ryder Mahan. He is also survived by his grandmothers, Dot Black and Evell Peters, and his brother-in-law, Wesley (Jessie) Bunch.

Jordan persevered in life although he had major heart problems. His mother was a nurse and took wonderful care of him while in Lebonhuer Hospital for the first 52 days of his life where she never left his side. Jordan would alway tell his mother she was the bomb.

In January of 2020 Jordan met the love of his life Kristen. referring to her as the most kind and young lady a young man could have. It was in Gods plan for the union of Kristen and Jordan. They were born on the same day , years and miles apart but God destined them to meet.
