Ronald Jordan
Aug. 22, 1954-Nov. 22, 2021
Ronald Bryce Jordan,
the son of Bryce and
Theresa (Giesinger) Jor-
dan was born on August
22, 1954 in Rugby, North
Dakota. He died at the
age of 67 on Monday, No-
vember 22, 2021 at Trinity
Hospital in Minot, North
Dakota with his family by
his side.
Ron was born in Rugby
and raised on the family
farm. He attended school
in Rugby and graduated
from Rugby High School
in 1972. After completing
his education, he contin-
ued to do what he
loved – farming and
ranching. He attended a
wedding dance and there
his life had changed, as he
discovered love at first
sight on June 10, 1978.
Soon after, he was united
in marriage to the love of
his life, Rebecca Duchsch-
er on February 24, 1979 in
Rugby. They were blessed
with three children, Jen-
nifer, Jesse and Cassie and
raised their family on the
family farm. Ron’s life and
love was his family, farm
and ranch. He knew his
cattle by looking at them
and knew their tag
number without looking
at the tag. He taught his
children how to run and
operate every aspect of
the farm. The life he led,
was what he loved and
was his passion in life.
Work from sun up to sun
down – if something
needs to get done, get it
done and get it done right.
He retired from farming
and ranching in 2016 and
later went to work for
Home of Economy when
it came to Rugby. He en-
joyed working for them, it
kept him busy and he en-
joyed everyone he worked
with. He enjoyed garden-
ing, watching football,
and anything with his
children and especially
grandchildren.
