Not sure if Xierro's away message is a mistake with clicking on the wrong one, but again it reads that he is in critical condition. I really hope it is just a messup and they meant to click on the other one.

Horrible news guys.
Jordan passed away on August 6.
R.I.P. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
DeBALLI - Jordan D., 20, of Meyersdale, Somerset County, died on Aug. 6, 2005, at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. "Jordy" is the beloved son of Dr. Michele L. Mock and Daniel J. Freeman; devoted brother to Justin Gruss; cherished grandson of Gloria (Babish Mock Siska) and Lee Webb; loving nephew of Alan G. and Nadia Mock; grandson meeting in heaven his grandfather, the late Larry G. Mock; lifelong best friend, Brandon Weimer; and precious godchild of Theresa E. Peters. Jordan is also survived by great-grandparents, Mary and Joe Filorimo; aunts, Lori Wettling, Kristy Magdelinic and Jody Truscello, and their families; stepgrandparents, Sharon and Marshall Morgart; and great-grandfather, Harold G. Mock; in addition to a host of family and friends too voluminous to name. Jordan is preceded by great-grandparents, Michael J. and Margaret Babish, and great-grandmother, Betty Mock. Similarly, Jordan will be deeply missed by Dr. Peter Shaw; Dr. Rakesh K. Goyal; CHP's pediatric hematology/oncology and bone marrow transplant teams; and the nurses and staff of both 8 North and the hospital's intensive care unit, where Jordan was greatly loved and respected for his unwavering courage, strength, determination and integrity. Jordan attended North Star's elementary and middle schools; Westmont Hilltop High School and the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, until his illness ultimately ceased Jordan's academic studies. Jordan's fascination with, and love of, computers, motorcycles and soccer bestowed him with doting friends around the world. While his time on Earth was mercilessly brief, the space of his world was vast. Because Jordan's life embodied such a rare and fleeting flash of light, yet a life so fervently grounded by unfailing integrity and honor, Jordy earned many friends, even as he approached death, which was punctuated by the very same dignity and grace predicating his life in its entirety; for this reason, Jordan merits unequivocal respect and admiration from all he encountered. Today, our homes, hearts and lives initiate the struggle to supplant the shadow left in the wake of Jordan's ardent courage and incandescent fortitude with the luminosity of a life that will forever burn in our memories. Indeed, Jordan made his life "speak," no matter its abrupt abbreviation. His spirit, his light, his integrity and his voice entitles Jordan to an eternity of deep and abiding love. While we continue to love, we will forever mourn the living light and voice that signifies Jordan DeBalli, a life pitilessly silenced all too soon. Family and friends will be received at Henderson Funeral Home, East Hills, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2005, from 7 to 9 p.m., where a memorial service will be held on Friday, Aug. 12, at 10 a.m., officiated by the Rev. Tom Smith. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests financial donations be made to the National Marrow Donor Program, 3001 Broadway St., NE Suite 500, Minneapolis, Minn., 55413. (800) 654-1247 or donations of blood supplied to any American Red Cross site throughout the country, its national headquarters, in Washington, D.C. (202) 737-8300.
