In Remembrance of Jordan Ferrell

Remembering Jordan Ferrell —A message from his father, Jerad Ferrell

Jordan wasn't just a player or a coach at Pictona—he became the heart and soul of this community.

From early 2024, we embarked on a mission together: to channel Jordan's boundless energy and love for pickleball into a professional calling. That journey led to an extraordinary achievement. Jordan became an RPPk + DUPR Certified Pickleball Instructor, earning advanced certification through Tyson McGuffin's elite program. At just 20 years old, he stood among the nation's top-tier instructors.

At Pictona, Jordan's presence was magnetic. He infused every drill and match with unmatched enthusiasm. He coached with encouragement and played with fierce intensity, yet always ensured every player felt welcomed and valued. He connected with members of all backgrounds, building genuine friendships and spreading joy wherever he went. His laughter and dedication breathed life into our courts—not just at Pictona, but throughout the pickleball world.

To our family, Jordan was a bright, caring son and devoted brother—our protector and our light. To the friends and players at Pictona, he was a leader, teammate, and friend whose spirit elevated everyone around him.

Thank you, Pictona, for embracing Jordan so completely. Your warmth and support have meant everything to us during this difficult time. We carry Jordan's light forward through our actions—on and off the court—hoping others will feel the same kindness and passion he gave so freely.
