Brian Jordan (44) passed away unexpectedly at home in the presence of his loving wife due to complications from myotonic muscular dystrophy on March 17, 2024. He was born in Boston, MA on November 7, 1979 (and remained a life-long Red Sox fan) to Bret and Ann Jordan (née Cochran) before they returned to Maryland 2 years later. He grew up manning the cannons in civil war reenactments with his family which sparked an interest in military history that he would carry with him throughout his life. He also enjoyed dancing with his family at the Culkin School of Irish Dance. He was so proud of his Irish heritage and even studied abroad in Limerick in 2000.

Brian graduated from Gaithersburg High School where he was a percussionist in the Marching Band and wore his varsity jacket with pride. During that time he made cherished friends who will never forget his spectacular Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears lip sync performances. Brian began his undergraduate studies at Frostburg State University before transferring to Utah Valley University to join his wife and graduate summa cum laude in History. He met his wife Lauri (Leafty) by a chance encounter when she was visiting relatives. They fell hard and fast in love and were married within 4 months. They began their marriage in Idaho and Utah before returning to Maryland in 2008. They would be married 20 years this December and their love was quietly epic. They overcame so much together and through it all Brian was an adoring husband known for planning elaborate themed dates. Immediately after closing on their dream home in Fort Washington, MD in 2011, Brian adopted an incorrigible lab-mix named Kerry who was ever-present by his side. After a decade of prayer and effort they were blessed with their daughter Felicity in 2020. Brian was a doting father and shared such a unique bond with her. She could do no wrong in his eyes and loved being read to while cuddled up in his lap. 

Brian excelled professionally and was proud to support his family as a grant-writer for various companies. After following his passion by obtaining a master’s degree in military history from George Mason University, he applied his skills by managing and authoring proposals including a 10-year contract that doubled the size of his company.

Brian was a man of deep faith and a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where he had served as both a Sunday School teacher and Executive Secretary. Parishioners still remember his impactful talks that may have lead to props officially being banned. Brian inherited the Cochran sense of humor and his subtle wit was always on point. He was also a remarkably selfless person who gave to everyone around him constantly and unconditionally.

Family was everything to Brian. He will be so terribly missed by those who survive him including his wife Lauri and daughter Felicity (3); parents Bret and Ann Jordan; his sister and her husband Sarah and Colin Jordan-Crowe and their children Gabriel and Mariela; grandparents Leetha and Frank Jordan; uncle James Cochran and aunt Roxanne Jordan. He will be welcomed in heaven by loved ones who predeceased him including his brother Patrick; grandparents George and Alice Cochran; uncles John and Michael Cochran, and aunt Mary Hovey. 

Brian often outright ignored the increasing physical limitations imposed by his myotonic dystrophy. He barely considered it while working to build this beautiful life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation at www.myotonic.org where they are actively working on a cure for this disease that took him from us too soon.

A visitation will be held on Monday, March 25, 2024 from 9:30 a.m. until the start of the funeral service at 10:30 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 5300 Auth Road, Camp Springs, MD 20746-4323.

Dennis had a lifelong love for the ocean and felt most at peace walking on the beach. He enjoyed sailing, rowing, and all boating activities. An accomplished musician, he played classical and flamenco guitar and fondly remembered sharing his talents with others in a folk band during his college years. His children have happy childhood memories of him strumming guitar and singing classic folk songs.
 
Through his photography, he captured the beauty of the natural world and the people he loved. In his later years, he volunteered for environmental causes and humanitarian efforts, such as supporting refugee camps. He strived to leave the world a better place for future generations.

A graduate of Georgetown University, Dennis served in the Coast Guard before embarking on a diverse career that included real estate, marketing, and sales. He was proud of his decades of work supporting his local volunteer fire department.  

Dennis prided himself on being fiercely independent and true to his principles and convictions. He had a boundless curiosity for current events, philosophy, sustainability, social issues, and technology. He never shied away from challenging subjects and was happy to engage in conversation on virtually any topic. Always ready for any scenario, he was affectionately known as an emergency preparedness and self-sufficiency enthusiast.  

Dennis celebrated the accomplishments of his children, whom he called his greatest joy in life. He treasured gatherings with his grandchildren and reunions with his extended family. Dennis was always up for a drive to see his family and ready to provide rides to help people out. He lived with humor, conviction, passion, and loyalty. 

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his ex-wife and mother of three of his children, Martha B. Hague, with whom he maintained a close friendship.

Judith Carol (Lohr) Ingram, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away on Saturday, March 2, 2024. She is now with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and reunited with her husband, Donald Thompson Ingram, who preceded her in death in 2000. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Forrest and Estella Lohr; brothers, Darwin, Leo, and Jack Lohr; and sister, Waneta Newbold. She is survived by her three daughters, Sherrie Kibler (Kevin) of Crofton, MD, Dawna Tucker (Scott) of King George, VA, and Julie Griffith (Dean D’Eugenio) of Edgewater, MD; her seven grandchildren, Katrina Riley (Kyle), Nicholas Kibler, Ryan Kibler, Austin Tucker, Maxwell Tucker (Johanna), Joshua Griffith, and Jamie Jarrard (Chandler); her sister Betty Lou Pysher (Fred) of Custer City, PA; and many other extended family members.

Judith was known as Judy to all who loved her. Born on January 14, 1942, Judy grew up in the small town of Kantner, PA. She later moved to Washington, DC, where she was recruited to become a secretary for USDA at the young age of 17. Judy met her soon-to-be- husband, Don Ingram, through a co-worker, Ruth Stultz. Ruth had a “baby brother” she wanted Judy to meet. Judy and Don met at a Cutco party, their love blossomed, and they married on April 28, 1962. They moved from Kent Village to Hyattsville, MD, and raised three beautiful girls together.

Judy retired from USDA in the fall of 1999 after 40 years of service. She and Don had big plans to travel, spend more time at their cabin in Pennsylvania, and maybe build on their Lake Martin property in Alabama. But sadly, Don was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer on Judy’s birthday in 2000. She became his loving caregiver until he passed away on May 1, 2000, only days after their 38th wedding anniversary. With the support of family and friends, Judy learned to adjust to life as a widow. She moved into a townhome in Chesapeake Beach, MD, with easier upkeep and began to travel. Judy also became very active with her church, health, family, and friendships, especially those friends from church. She had a love for butterflies and journaling and was known as the family picture-taker. Judy’s greatest passion, though, was spending time with her grandchildren, especially one-on-one time.

Judy moved into an assisted living facility in November 2021 and was quickly moved to the memory care side, where she remained until the good Lord took her home on March 2nd.

Judy’s favorite BIBLE verse was Psalms 118:24, “This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” She would recite this to her children every morning when they were growing up!

We will miss you, Mom, and will love you always. May the Lord grant you eternal rest.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Judy's life on Monday, March 18, 2024, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory, 2973 Solomons Island Rd., Edgewater, MD 21037. Interment will follow at Maryland Veterans Cemetery, Crownsville, MD.

A Celebration of Life will be at the home of Julie and Dean, date to be determined
