Jordan Michael Berns

Jordan brought joy and happiness with him everywhere he went.  He always had a smile on his face that carried all the way to his beautiful green eyes.  There are countless stories and examples of his kindness and putting others before himself.  Jordan's positive energy is something anyone who knew him couldn't help but to be drawn.  As a member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Carthage, he was strong in his faith.  Passionate is an understatement for how he felt about football and his Miller High School teammates.  This passion came behind only his faith and love of his family.  He was a loving, protective, and selfless big brother, who volunteered to coach his brother’s football team, and showed them the ropes for being good men.  He ended each conversation with his family with a heartfelt “I love you.”  Jordan was attending Missouri Southern State University studying to be a sports physical therapist.  He was often found outdoors, hunting, fishing and just being a guy.

Jordan Michael Berns, of Ash Grove, Missouri, walked into the loving arms of Jesus on September 10, 2017, at the age of 19.  Loving son of Jennifer (Adam) Weaver and Michael (Crystal) Henderson; cherished brother of Brianna Haviland, Donivan Denny, Caressa Black, Jordan Henderson, Cassandra Curtright, Jesse Henderson, Jayce McReynolds, Savanna Henderson, Timothy "TJ" Henderson, Jonas Henderson, Gavin Henderson, and John McReynolds; treasured grandson of Gary (Kathy) Berns, Linda Berns, Ella Mae Weaver, and Linda Weber; beloved great-grandson of  Bill (the late Shirley) Kolath and Marjorie Weaver; dearest nephew of Stacey (Jay) Humphreys, James (Anne) Rodgers, Tracey Weaver, and Kelley Weaver.  He will be missed by the entire Berns, Weaver, Henderson, Burris, and Kluesner families.

Jordan was preceded in death by his grandfather, Phillip Henderson, and his great-grandparents, Jack (Bert and Betty) Kluesner, Bill and Elsie Berns.

The world lost an amazing young man when Jordan was taken to heaven.  We miss you Jordan!
