The athlete is survived by his parents Kevin and Stephanie Jordan, as well as his three younger sisters Abby, Kara and Jenna. Jordan also mentioned a German shepherd Brutus.
His sister Jenna shared on Instagram on Tuesday that he was ‘the best big brother’ and ‘the friendliest soul’.
She writes: ‘In one of Ben’s favorite songs, Kacey Musgraves says ‘oh what a world, and then there you are’ and it’s really a perfect summary of how I viewed my brother. There really was no one like him out there. I will remember your big bright smile and infectious belly laugh forever … My love for you is eternal. I will take the best care of you Brutus Almighty. ‘
Abby also honored him on Instagram and wrote: “Instead of being next to me, you are going to live inside me. In some lives we stand next to each other and laugh that we are apart in another life. You are my number one, number three. ‘
