Jordan Tanner Ellisor

Jordan Tanner Ellisor was born on January 9, 2004, to Derl and Stephanie Ellisor. He went to be with the Lord on his 19th birthday, January 9, 2023. As a child, Jordan was a quiet, old soul. We consider it a blessing to have been a part of watching him develop and begin to realize his potential. Jordan worked hard and had big plans and many ideas for expanding his entrepreneurial endeavors. We called him our "money man." He had a natural talent for making friends, and people loved his big smile and genuine southern charm. We will all remember the hard-working kid in the loud red Dodge or his special PawPaw truck. He had many friends that he loved, but most of all, he loved his family. He and his sister, McKailah, were inseparable and were truly best friends who shared a unique closeness. He has a place in many people's hearts that will be left unfilled. Jordan never met a stranger nor failed to stop and talk to anyone, regardless of their age. He touched lives all over Texas. It was common to be out of town and hear someone mention his name. We were always amazed that he would run into someone he knew regardless of where we were. He lived life to the fullest and took advantage of his 19 short years. He never sat still and was constantly planning his next adventure. Jordan graduated from New Waverly ISD in 2022 and always supported and loved his Dawgs with his passion for every sport. He could cheer on all his classmates and teammates with an energy no one could match. Jordan's many accomplishments included his participation in New Waverly 4-H, FFA, and Walker County Fair. He showed livestock from 3rd grade and was a very experienced showman who mentored other exhibitors in several counties. In addition, he was involved in numerous community service projects that impacted many lives. He served his community in many ways. As a first semester freshman at Baylor University, he was excelling in his classes. He was invited to join the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society for his academic achievements. He made several new friends from all over the country and was in the process of figuring out college life. He learned to work hard at a very young age to make his ideas a reality. He loved his Bulldog Lawn Service customers and was proud to own his first business. There is no doubt he would have made it big one day. Jordan is survived by his parents, Derl and Stephanie, sister, McKailah Ellisor, and special friend Brady Richards; his grandparents, Keith and Sheryle Ellisor, Clayton and Lean Baker, Steve and Lesia Beard, and great-grandfather, Alton Ellisor. He is also survived by his aunts and uncles, Derrell and Stacy Wright, Lee Beard, Jeanette Beard, Don and Arlena McLaughlin, and his cousins, Stephany, Sarah, and Sierra McCann, and Joseph and Sawyer Beard. In addition, he had numerous relatives and friends that were near and dear to his heart. Visitation will be held at Sam Houston Memorial on Friday, January 13, 2023 from 5:00 - 8:00pm. His services will be held at Northside Baptist Church on Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 10:00 am. Memorial condolences to the family may be made at www.shmfh.com.
