Winthrop, ME – Jordon Pierce, 28 peacefully passed October 18, 2024, in Portland, Maine due to complications related to his Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy.
Jordon was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota on November 3, 1995, was adopted as a toddler by his grandparents Ronald (Papa) and Sandra (Nana) Pierce of Winthrop, ME
He grew up in Emerado, ND, attended local schools, graduating in 2017 from Central High School in Grand Forks, ND.
Soon after graduation, Jordon moved to Winthrop, Maine with Nana and Papa, their home state.
To know him was to love him. That was Jordon to a T. He never met a stranger and was known to introduce his family to everyone he encountered, whether in a store, a restaurant, or at the local bowling alley.
Jordon’s favorite things: Watching Barney and Friends on his iPad, playing Wii, swimming, shopping, blowing bubbles, balloons, his outings with Nana’s sister, cheeseburgers, fries, and sprite.
Jordon is predeceased by Nana and Papa, his mom Regan Pierce, and his maternal and paternal great-grandparents.
He is survived by: “Unc” (Randy Pierce of Grand Forks, ND) who was Jordon’s voice of reason, disciplinarian, and the best hash brown cooker.
“Nana’s Sister” (Sue Baker of Monmouth) who was his comfort, fun aunt, and phone pal.
“Uncle Blaine” (Blaine Cardilli of Winthrop) who was his caregiver, chauffeur, and McDonald’s buddy.
“Papa’s Sister” (Susan Cloutier of Winthrop) who worked behind the scenes as Jordon’s advocate to make sure he lived his best life possible.
Jordon is also survived by his great-grandfather Harland Hatch of Breman, ME and many extended family members and loving friends.
We want to thank all our family and friends who frequently reached out to ask how Jordon was doing. We especially would like to thank all his caregivers at his home at CASA, Inc in Scarborough for their love and support these last few months. To Brighter Heights Maine, Winthrop House for giving Jordon his first taste of independence, and to Creative Works in Augusta where he was able to meet new friends and participate in community activities.
Jordon, you were the one who was So Silly…
We hope your arrival in heaven by ambulance was as joyful and vibrant as the red and green Christmas lights you requested.
Jordon will be interred next to his Mom in Augusta, ME at a later date, to be determined by the family.
Arrangements and guidance are in the care of Roberts Funeral Home and Cremation Care, 62 Bowdoin Street, Winthrop, Maine. Condolences, memories, and photos may be shared with the family on the obituary page of the Roberts Funeral Home website, www.khrfuneralhomes.com
