Assist Jourdyn's Family in Their Time of Need

On May 28 my son Jourdyn Khalil Jones (23) was walking home from the store when him, his sister and two friends were accosted by two teens wearing black hoodies, brandishing guns demanding all their money and other personal property. Jourdyn being the champion he is intervened to protect himself and those with him; in doing so there was a scuffle which led to him being shot twice by one of the robbers. He was taken to the hospital for immediate surgery to stop the bleeding as the bullet entered his lower abdomen by his groin, severing his artery leaving a hole in his bladder, the bullet decimated his artery. After a 4 hr surgery to stop the bleeding Jourdyn was taken to ICU where he later coded four times and died .

My boy was a sweet young man loved hard, loved life to fullest; the main thing anyone would tell you that knew him was his beautiful smile, gentle spirit, his heartfelt bear hugs and his boisterous laugh, he was a happy person he affected the people in the community that knew him. They appreciated his bright light his presence the essence of who he was even when he was sad you’d never know it. He wore that smile always. Now no one is really prepared for tragedy so anything given to help send my sweet boy off the way he deserves is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much,
