Elysiah A. Lee Jordan

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Elysiah Lee Jordan, who was called home to be with the angels on October 31, 2024.

A proud graduate of Lafayette High School Class of 2023, Elysiah was a dynamic member of the school community, serving as captain of the step team and showcasing his athletic talents as a football player, proudly wearing the number 18 in honor of his beloved uncles, Willie and Tommy.

A true animal lover and dedicated fan of the Washington Commanders, Elysiah was known for his infectious smile and unwavering ability to bring joy to those around him. He cherished his family above all, with a special adoration for his mother and sisters, and his warmth and kindness touched the lives of many.  He was a talented cook renowned for his exceptional pound cake, which was raved about by all who had the pleasure of tasting it. His vibrant spirit made him the life of every party, and his love for 90s R&B music revealed the old soul within him, always brightening the world with his presence.  Elysiah’s vibrant spirit will forever be missed by those who had the honor of knowing him.

Elysiah was preceded in death by his father, Elton Lee, and godmother, Sonya Askew. 

Elysiah is survived by his loving mother Paula Jordan; sisters, Niyasiah Lee, DaNiá Davis (Corey), and Maria Moore; brothers, Xavier Lee, Jawhan Walker, and Brandon Lee; grandparents, Lavonia and John Lee; great-grandmother Lois Jones; grandmother Sandra Dover; grandfathers, Paul Jordan and Peter Braxton; nephews, Royce Reed and Corey Knightnor Jr.; niece Ah-Myracle Walker; goddaughter Amekia Amoura Johnson; aunts, Cassandra Braxton, Monica Braxton, Kelsie Jordan, Monica Robinson, and Sharon Braxton (Joe); uncles, Colvis Braxton Jr, Brian Wright, Willie Sheird, Kevin Lee, and Tommy Dover; special cousin, Zander Braxton; godsister, Tealece Martin; best friend A’Nijah Jones; and a host of other loving relatives and friends.

Elysiah Lee Jordan may have left this earth, but his spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who loved him. Rest in peace, dear Elysiah. Your light will continue to shine brightly in our memories.
