Jordan Phillip William Sherring (Karapeta) was born on July 14, 1987 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Jordan attended Columbia, St. Alphonsus and Sacred Heart High School in Yorkton and Rosthern Junior College in Rosthern. In Jordan's younger years he participated in various activities and sports, such as hockey, playing his guitar, soccer, children's Missoula Theatre and Cub Scouts. He was also an Altar Server and part of the Youth Group at St. Gerard's Church. Jordan participated in ACYC rallies where he made many new friendships. Jordan enjoyed carpentry, snowmobiling, dirt biking, fast cars, spiced rum and pretty girls. He loved visits to his Aunt Mary Jane and Uncle Brian's farm, especially during the fall harvest season. His artistic talent was his best kept secret, which was evident in his drawings. In the last few years Jordan's car and the thrill of snowboarding became his passion. After high school Jordan relocated to Red Deer, Alberta where he lived with his "Bud", Justin Kramer and eventually began working with Central Alberta Well Servicing. Jordan loved his work and the many challenges of it, he thoroughly enjoyed the people he worked with. Nathan Lawrence was a special co-worker, mentor and friend to Jordan. Jordan had aspirations of trying new things and advancing in his career. Jordan has been blessed with many close, solid friendships and you all know who you are. Jordan was a free spirit, he was the light of everyone's life and he really knew how to "LIVE". Jordan will always be remembered for his contagious smile, his wacky sense of humour, his outgoing positive attitude and his genuine hugs, which came straight from his heart. Jordan passed away suddenly on Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at twenty-one years of age. Thank you for being a part of Jordan's life.
