Memorial Held for Texas Coach

TYLER (AP/STAFF) — Friends and family have gathered to remember a former Texas high school football and track coach who disappeared while driving during Harvey. The Tyler Morning Telegraph reports that about 200 people attended the memorial Saturday for Ruben Jordan at Liberty Baptist Church in Tyler. Grady Turner remembered Jordan as unselfish with a “kind, loving spirit.” Jordan’s body was found Monday in Houston. The 58-year-old was last seen on August 26 helping people through floodwaters. Jordan, a retired coach at Clear Creek High School, also played football at John Tyler High School alongside “The Tyler Rose,” Earl Campbell. He graduated from JTHS in 1977, according to his Facebook page. From there, he attended Lamar University before going into coaching and teaching. Upon retirement, Jordan opened Friendswood Driving School.
