It is with great sorrow to give notice of the passing of Fred Augustine Jordan on Sept. 7, 2023. Fred passed of natural causes due to ongoing health issues despite continuing therapy for grumpy man syndrome. Heart stopped beating, eyes at rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best.
Fred was born in Morgantown, on Aug. 1, 1953, son of the late Frederick L. Jordan and Joanne Brogneaux Jordan. Beloved grandson of Augustine Jordan and Eleanor Jordan, who also preceded him in death. He is survived by his admired siblings, Jeanne Jordan Hanson, Ben Jordan, Laurie Thomas, Amy Jordan and Dan Jordan. He married Kathy Gallagher, despite divorce they remained close friends.
Fred and Kathy are parents to Hillary Jordan, their only child. Fred is grandfather to Hillary’s son, Connell Augustine McCauley, who was the center of his world. Fred was a proud uncle to his and Kathy’s siblings’ children, whom he adored.
Fred graduated from Albert Gallatin High School Class of 1971. He attended Salem University in Salem, W.Va. from 1971-75 for physical education and sports management.
He first worked for West Point Marion Lumber Co. and at the Point Marion Lock & Dam. Fred then owned and operated Jordan’s BP and Service Station in Morgantown with his father until he retired in 2014. Fred and his father took pride in being business owners and supporting small businesses.
Freddie was an avid golfer and sports enthusiast. Fred will now be a guardian in the outfield of angels watching from above.
Anyone reading this that knew Fred will be thinking of his wit, humor and friendship and would give their best day to play ball or a round of golf with him one more time. “A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever.”
