Jordan Lee Matthews, age 34 of Hixson and formerly of Colorado Springs CO, passed away on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, due to injuries sustained in a boating accident.
He was the former owner of Mountain Air Heating and Cooling in Colorado Springs, CO. A master of his craft in the HVAC industry. Jordan and his family moved to Tennessee after deciding to retire from the HVAC industry and pursue new adventures in the Smokey Mountains.
He loved spending time with his girls and family. His love of life was contagious. He always had a smile on his face and the biggest heart. He was front and center every Sunday to cheer on the Ravens. Jordan savored the simple things in life: good conversations, a neat whiskey, time in nature, metal concerts, his dogs, and weekly Magic games.
Above all Jordan loved and cherished his sweet baby girl, Braelynn. She was the light of his life and he transformed into his very best self when he became a dad and welcomed Braelynn Amanda Matthews (or BAM) into this world. He treasured every moment he had being her dad. His little 'kraken' when she giggled he soared.
The world lost a wonderful soul.
Jordan is survived by his father, Robert and Teresa Matthews of Frankfort, IN; his mother, Lisa Matthews of Colorado Springs, CO; his daughter, Braelynn Matthews of Hixson; his wife, Ashley Olinger of Hixson; his sister, Courtney Matthews of Colorado Springs, CO; and grandmother, Darlene Hoffacker of Colorado Springs, CO.
Celebrations for Jordan's life are currently being planned and will announced.
