Jordan was born on May 21, 1989 in Miami, Florida to Fausto Almeida and Kristina Sterling. He was baptised and confirmed in the Christian faith at St.Paul Lutheran Church in Boca Raton, Florida. He graduated from Spanish River High School in 2008 where he played soccer and ran cross-country. He worked as a waiter and restaurant manager for more than a decade. He had a deep connection to nature, especially the ocean in his home state of Florida. He enjoyed spending time outdoors but more than anything he enjoyed spending time with the people he loved. He was a social butterfly with a quick wit and an infectious smile who will be missed dearly by many. He loved music, traveling, writing poetry, and riding motorcycles. Jordan is survived by his parents Fausto and Kristina, his sister Danielle, and brother John.
