Wayne E. Jordan

Wayne E. Jordan grew up in Thomasville, NC, graduated with honors in 1960 from Wake Forest University and from Wake Forest Law School with honors in 1963. He served active duty in the military and in the National Reserves. His law career for 38 years was with First Union National Bank (now Wells Fargo) based out of Raleigh NC. Wayne retired as VP of the Southern Pines branch and continued to manage a private foundation for many years in retirement.

Wayne was known to have a song ready to sing for any occasion, either secular or sacred. He sang in church choirs for more than 70 years. Wayne and Jeannie were founding members of Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh (supported by First Baptist Church of Raleigh). He served as the Minister of Music from 1983 until they moved to Southern Pines in 1988. In Southern Pines, he was very active in First Baptist Church of Southern Pines. Wayne was an avid golfer, an active Kiwanian, and loved to read. He was known to be a huge Chick-fil-A (extra crispy fries) and Krispy Kreme donuts fan.

Wayne is survived by his son, Scott Wilkinson, wife Tina, and their children Ben and Anna, by his daughter Noel Tucker, husband Ed, and their children Zack, Mary Jordan, and Dylan, and by his sister Carol Sue Kessler and her family. He is also survived by his surrogate granddaughter Nam Bloem, by surrogate son and daughter Mark and Darlene Vaughn and their children Michael and Stephanie, and by dear friend Donna Haggard. A loving father, strong man of faith, friend to everyone he met, Wayne truly made a difference in the world. He will be missed by all of us greatly.
