Jordyn R. Barker

Jordyn R. Barker, age 11, of Shelby, died Saturday morning, September 28, 2019 at Akron Children’s Hospital following complications and infections from his second battle with Leukemia.

Jordyn was born February 2, 2008 in Mansfield and was currently a 6th grader at Shelby Middle School. Jordyn was a happy and charismatic kid who was full of energy and love. He loved to make people laugh and be goofy and thoroughly enjoyed music, especially dancing and playing the drums. Jordyn was a talented artist who enjoyed painting and never missed an opportunity to take pictures or videos. He was always happy when riding his 4-wheeler and never turned down an opportunity to drink a sweet tea or eat a piece of apple pie.

(Parsons) Barker, Sr.; his siblings: Jaron (Bre) Hogan of Cyclone, PA,  Jacob Hogan of Shelby, and Abigail Hogan of Chattanooga, TN; an aunt: Jennifer Barker of Shelby; an uncle: Benjamin Todd Barker of Shelby; 3 cousins: Taylor, Sebastian, and Madelyn Barker; 2 nieces and 2 nephews: Braxx, Madyxx, Max, and Marilyn; his dog: Coco; and numerous aunts, uncles, other relatives, and friends. He was preceded in death by his mom, Sheila Jo Hogan, and an uncle, William Dewey “Bill” Barker, Jr.

    I am sorry for your loss. My children always had kind things to say about jordyn. I had the pleasure of meeting him once on my way into school and he open and held the door for me. He was very polite and sweet. I told him thank you he said welcome that’s my job.

    I had the privilege of teaching Jordyn for a short time! He’s an amazing kid :). We throughly enjoyed making faces together and sticking out our tongues to eachother while making an awful sound! So incredibly sad and my heart goes out to all his family and especially you two (grandpa and grandma) when I met you, I knew where Jordyn got his orneriness from. 🙂
    Take care and May you have peace.
