On weds we all lost an amazing human, he was more than a friend to me. He was an inspiration to never do what people expect, to follow your own path and be true to yourself. We both grew up in a small town and both loved to ride bikes, get rad and send it on anything we could get our hands on. In ones life you only have a few opportunities to get to know someone like jordie and I’m going to cherish all the memories we made together. Growing up at his house with his two other brothers and Bdog was nothing short of a riot, we were constantly lighting each other’s hair on fire, jiffy marking each other’s face when someone passed out early. We travelled the planet together doing what we love, riding bikes and having sport drinks🤪. I remember one morning in Europe waking up and opening my eyes to jordie with his arm around me as the beds were tiny and he must of rolled over in the middle of the night😂. Oh George you were one of a kind. The first shot was taken no less than a hour before he crashed. He got a shot of me with my @gopro and I was like dude get yer ass up there I’ll get a shot of you cuz that’s a sick shot. We were both jacked on the pic as we’re always hustling for shots on the gram. He died that day doing what he loved. Not many people that have lived on this planet could say that and that gives me some peace 😊. He died in my hands and it gives me some peace that he was with a loved one during his last moments. Death is a stark reminder to never take anything in life for granted, love yourself, love your family and your friends. Life is precious. @jordielunn you were as good of a friend as I could ever wished for, I’ll miss you bud. #longlivejordie #longlivechainsaw

This still doesn’t feel real at all😢 Our Mexico trip went sideways and we lost such a legend and one of the sickest kindest dudes in MTB, someone I’ve idolized since the day I started riding!!! “ROAM” his back yard jumps was something that drove me down the path i’m on now! My condolences to his family, friends and the entire mtb community! RIP Jord!

GUTTED. We lost a human that you hope everyone could be like. If he doesn’t make it to heaven then heaven doesn’t fucking exist. I had the pleasure of spending his last few hours alive with him along with @dberrecloth @braydenbarretthay and @lone_wolf_productions and he was truly enjoying what he loved. Perfect day of riding in a perfect location. Just didn’t seem real and I still can’t grasp it. My condolences go out to his family because I know he loved his brothers and I know he was their glue. #longlivejordie 🖤
