Quenton Jamal Jordan

Quenton Jamal Jordan (born August 9, 1994) was known to family and friends as a quiet, mild-mannered, and caring presence who loved sports and his children deeply. Raised in Chicago and a member of his church community, Quenton found joy in the city’s teams — the Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and especially the White Sox — and that love extended into his work when he took a position with the White Sox organization. His connection to sports gave him chances to meet players and share in the excitement of the teams he followed.

Family was central to Quenton’s life. He was a devoted father to his daughter, Jakyia Hawkins, and his son, Tahj Rico; those relationships were the heart of his days and a source of great pride. Quenton was described by those who knew him as someone who cared for others and carried himself with quiet strength. He remained connected to his extended family — siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews — and was remembered at times for his charm and the friendships he built across his community.

Quenton’s faith and community ties were also important. He attended Healing Temple Church of God in Christ and drew comfort from his spiritual life. Friends and family remember him not for how he died but for the everyday ways he showed tenderness and loyalty to those around him and for the small, steady pleasures of life: cheering on his teams, supporting his children, and being a dependable part of family gatherings.

Though public records and local memorial listings note his passing in late August 2021, the fullest portrait of Quenton comes from the people who loved him — the roles he filled as son, sibling, employee, and especially as father. He left behind a circle of family and friends who carry his memory forward: recalling his gentleness, his love of sports, and the quiet ways he made life better for those nearest him. His life mattered to many, and those who loved him continue to honor him in memory and in the care they give one another.
