I’ve mulled over whether to add my comments to this thread, due to it possibly being perceived as “in defence” of Jordan.
I’m just as disappointed in him as everyone else, so there’s that.
I am aware of several aspects of the extenuating events and traumatic realities that Ol Jordan has had happening, tho’, so first of all thanks to
@RedFox for the post.
In spite of his foolish ideas about Israel and Judaism, I’ve been wondering how Petersons been doing.
Update on Facebook by his daughter from 2 hours ago:
So here’s a snippet from Mikhalas post:
“To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of this is spiritual. My newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure for no reason in June,
dad got sick and came to stay with us in July, then needed a hospital […]”
Last year , May 19th, 2024, Jordan’s Mom died suddenly and totally unexpectedly. (Geez, how can this be happening to so, so many people?) That was sarcasm by the way.
His Dad, survived a short 5 months alone without her, and he died October 22, 2024.
Their deaths affected the community deeply, as they were both still very active and much loved community members, and then both were dead, gone within half a year.
As I’ve mentioned before, the Peterson family lived in the small Northern Alberta town that I grew up in. I’ve known them to see them, and attended numerous community gatherings, weddings, and funerals with the Peterson, since I was a young child.
Now, his mom’s funeral happened last year, August of 2024.
His Dad’s service/memorial service was not until July 19th, of THIS year, 2025.
I heard all about the service and Jordan’s visits to shared friends and family, while they all were “Up North” from relatives and friends.
He joined up with a few men he grew up with, and they did a “visiting tour” and surprise visited around the various farms and homes of people Jordan had grown up with.
While Jordan was there, they took care of the business of packing up all the left behind personal belongings of his Mother and Fathers lives, and listing the Family home.
This is supposedly where he came in contact with “mold and mildew” that his daughter is blaming the illness on.
In my understanding of Biological responses to a “death fright” of one’s self, or on behalf of loved ones, “pneumonia” is the healing phase of a “death fright” that has gone UNRESOLVED for much too long…
So, with that said, We’ve ALL commented on how screwed up Jordan’s emotional and spiritual foundations have become.
So, it’s not a stretch to say it doesn’t take a genius to figure he probably came face to face with a hell of a lot of memory ghosts, regrets, grief and who knows what else after going through his Fathers and Mothers books, belongings and treasures.
Perhaps he really and truly resolved his “loss of his beloved’s” and the cascade of a weakened mind and body couldn’t regain homeostasis very well at all.
The links to their obituaries, if anyone is interested.
They WERE very remarkable people.
Jordons dad was our school principal, and taught in my elementary school when I was in grades 1 and 2.
His obituary tells the truth, once you met him, you remembered him forever.
He gave me detention for going off school grounds, in grade 1, Only the 3rd week in.
I was catching frogs with my 1st grade friends, in a pond!
His obituary link:
So, there’s My 2 cents, or whatever.
