In Memoriam: Jordan R. (1981-2007)

It's been 24 days since the fateful "asdfasdf, part II" post on Jordan's blog and we can only assume the worst. While authorities are still searching for any sign of a new post, many have come to grips with the reality that Jordan has gone to a better place.

"He was a great friend," said Erik Tisthammer, one of his blog readers and former roommates. "TF3S has lost a vigilant ally in the War on Terror, as well as a good friend."

Another friend of his, Mike Mellema, exclaimed in a funny sounding accent through tears, "I cannots believes its! Ize missed him so mooch!" Mellema says his only way of coping right now is through video games.

Others joined in the mourning over the weekend, as President Bush gave a final eulogy. In it, he remarked:

"While no one knows for sure the fate of Jordan, we do know one thing: he hasn't posted on his blog for 24 days. Although we have hope - and, indeed, we hope for hope - I think we must accept the conclusion the free world has dreaded for years. We must move on, honoring his name, by fighting the forces of terror and injustice who seek to take that which Jordan himself has fought for for so many years: truth, justice, and the American Way."

So to my friend, Jordan, may you rest in peace.

Note: Due to this being the very first link on Google when searching Jordan's name, and since he works (and will be working) in an ivory tower, where people search each others' names on Google in order to get more information about them instead of talking to them, I have removed his last name from the entry.
