His family released the following statement to 13WMAZ:
"Jordan Wilson. When someone speaks his name we want him to be remembered for who he was and not how he was tragically taken away from us.
(He was) so full of light and laughter! Jordan was an intelligent young man being at the top of his class with a lot of wisdom at such a young age. He was very respectful, always lending a helping hand without being asked.
He was filled with so much love and joy and didn’t mind spreading it on to others by telling them or showing them with his tight hugs and words.
Jordan had such a bright future ahead and was looking forward to starting his Sophomore year at Rutland High School where all of his teachers and friends admired him.
His spirit and energy would lift you up on your worst days. Jordan was an AMAZING SON, BROTHER, GRANDSON, NEPHEW, and FRIEND.
He leaves behind many memories that will forever live on through his mother, siblings, and best friend!"
