Jordan DaVon Johnson-Tabb

With profound sadness and deep love, the family of Jordan DaVon Johnson-Tabb announces his passing on October 20, 2025, in Beltsville, Maryland, at the age of 32. Jordan was born on March 20, 1993, in St. Louis, Missouri, and from his very first breath, he lived life boldly, joyfully, and to his own rhythm. Jordan was the beloved son of Dana Johnson and the late Carlos Tabb; cherished brother of Trentan York and Reiley Parker; treasured grandson of Charlesetta McGee, Mark Hill, and Sherri (Leroy) Conley; adored great-grandson of Lucille McGrew, Susie Johnson, and the late Charles and Laverne Johnson, the late Francis Sr. and Willa Hill, and the late Nathaniel Frazier. Jordan was the devoted nephew of Delfon Hurst, Mark Davis, Adrian Johnson, Fred (Keshia) McGee III, Aaron McGee, Maya Conley, Christopher Conley, and James (Dorinda) Conley, and a host of great aunts and uncles, cousins, family members, and friends. As the first grandchild and great-grandchild on both sides of his family, Jordan was adored and admittedly spoiled. His family fondly remembers his clever ways of getting what he wanted, especially from his grandparents and including his mom’s endless supply of Air Jordan sneakers. As a child, he loved riding bikes with his uncles in the woods, and exploring the world with lionhearted curiosity. He was fearless in his love for animals—especially dogs—and seemed to have a special gift for calming even the toughest breeds. His family often called him a "dog whisperer." He also had a mischievous streak, like hiding fruit snack wrappers in the floor vents. His bright, inquisitive mind kept everyone on their toes. Jordan graduated from Webster Groves High School on May 20, 2011. Intelligent and witty, he loved sitting near the teacher (even when he was the class clown) and was famous for using big words. He was competitive and always ready for a challenge. Jordan's talents and passions were as vibrant as his personality. He was a gifted musician who loved writing and producing his own music—a true artist who poured his soul into every beat and lyric. Jordan spent time pursuing music production at Full Sail University. He also had a creative hand in the kitchen and pursued culinary school. Later, he went to barber school to perfect his skills in hair styling. But no matter what he explored, music remained his first love. A proud and loud Christian whose faith in Jesus was at the center of his life, Jordan was baptized at Shining Light Missionary Baptist Church in East St. Louis, Illinois, on February 1, 2009. He renewed his faith when he was baptized again at St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Laurel, Maryland, on August 30, 2015. He loved the Lord unapologetically and shared the gospel wherever he went. Those who knew Jordan knew he had a heart that overflowed with kindness, empathy, and compassion for others. His generosity was legendary; he gave freely, often to complete strangers, never hesitating to help someone in need. Jordan was known to "pay it forward" in ways that surprised those around him. Jordan was a defender of those he loved—especially his granny—and he had an uncanny ability to make everyone around him feel seen and valued. His magnetic personality, compassion, humor, and loyalty left a mark on every life he touched. He was a beautiful package of ups and downs, full of laughter and love—and his family and friends will forever cherish the joy he brought into their lives. Jordan's spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him most—his family, friends, and the many people he inspired along his journey. His legacy is one of love, light, faith, and fearless generosity. Jordan will always be the music to his momma’s soul.
