Jordan Kyle Guernsey
Our loving husband, father and son passed away on December 8th 2014 after a three year battle with cancer. He was born on October 17, 1984 in Charleston, South Carolina to Richard and Diana Guernsey. His father was in the Navy so they moved around a bit, when Jordan was 5 years old they made Utah their home.
He attended Pleasant Grove High School; where he was part of the ballroom dance team, student council and football team. Attended UVSC on a ballroom scholarship and University of Utah. At age 21 he founded Molding Box winning multiple awards including 40 under 40, Best of Utah, Inc 500 List, and nominee for Entrepreneur of the Year.
He was passionate in his involvement with Stop Hunger Now and the Caring House project, where he assisted in building houses in Haiti.
One of his favorite things was traveling the world and was a huge Real Salt Lake fan. Jordan was most proud of being a father and husband. He was an inspiration to everyone who came into his life.
Survived by his wife Paola; daughter Izabell (5); son Kyle (2); parents Richard and Diana; brothers Justin and Randall; sisters Deana, Erin and Alexis; as well as in-laws, nieces, nephews and many many friends.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to you. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. Turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance and to help soothe your heart. Psalms 34:18 assures us that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Rich, Diana and Paola; my heart is so heavy for all of you and your families. I never had the pleasure of actually meeting Jordan but feel I know him well through Rich. The proud words of Jordan's father about Jordan's unmatchable business skills and the ever faithful family man that he is, still rings so favorably in my ears. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and we look so forward to seeing you all united one day in heaven. May the Holy Spirit guide you all in the days ahead.

Richard, Diana, and family we love you. Although I didn't spend much time with Jordan, I know what kind of people raised him. I remember the conversations we had about your kids and of the great people they grew into. At this time may Heavenly Father's arms encircle your family and provide the comfort only He can.
