Memorial
Jordan Byrd beamed about the perfect 4.0 grade point averagehe just earned at Florida's Tallahassee Community College (TCC).
“Finished Spring 2020 semester with all A’s!!,” he wrote in a May 5 post on Facebook. “Praise God!!”
Byrd was working his way through college as a custodian at a Tallahassee elementary school he once attended, and looking forward to a bright future ahead. A couple weeks later, the young man officially made the President's List at TCC.
But after going to the hospital some days ago, he lost his battle with COVID-19. Records say he was only 19.
Condolences poured in on his Facebook page from his many family members, friends and teachers. Christopher Small, former principal of a local middle school, said his heart was broken by the news.
“Jordan Byrd was a young man of faith and dedicated himself to uplifting those around him,” he said. “Heaven has gained a new angel.” In high school, Byrd was a member of the National Honor Society, the Junior ROTC and the student government association. He was president of Tallahassee Kappa League and a member of the Black Male Achievers program at TCC. As posted in USA.com
