Jordan Samuel Kitchen, 18, of Mills River went to be home with his Lord and Savior Saturday, July 13, 2013.

He was born in Henderson County and graduated from West Henderson High School with the class of 2013. Jordan was an outstanding golfer and high school champion. He was employed by Shankís Driving Range in Greenville, SC and worked part time for his uncle.

Jordan loved everyone he ever met on the golf course, and was considered a great all-around person by his teachers, fellow students, teammates, and all who knew him. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman. Jordan was baptized in Rutherfordton at Bible Tabernacle and attended Upward Christian Fellowship.

He is survived by his loving mother, Teresa S. Kitchen of Mills River; his father, Kevin Kitchen; his paternal grandparents, Joseph and Thelma Kitchen; sister, Brooke Kitchen of Charlotte; nephew, Caiden Karges; and many cousins, aunts, uncles and extended family members.

A funeral service will be held at 3 PM Saturday, July 20, 2013 at Upward Christian Fellowship. The Reverends Joe Green and Anthony Craver will officiate. Burial will follow at Mill Pond Cemetery where Jordan will be laid to rest beside his maternal grandparents. The family will receive friends from 12 ñ 3 PM at the church.

Memorials may be made to the Jordan Kitchen Memorial Fund at Macon Bank in Brevard or Hendersonville.

    My sympathies go out to your family at this very sad time. I took pictures of the West Henderson golf team this spring, and although I did not know Jordan, I remembered him when I saw his picture on the news report. He seemed like a nice, friendly and fun-loving young man. I wanted to offer to send you photographs that I took of him if you would care to have them. You can contact me at ehaynes0013@gmail.com if you are interested. Again, my condolences.
