Jordan P. Thibeault 1986 ~
2008 As a family, we would like to announce the loss of our son and
brother Jordan P. Thibeault to the cause of liberty in Iraq. While we
feel enormous grief and loss, we want to explain why our son's passing
should be heralded by each and every one of us. Mankind today is faced
with terrible calamities. Only a select few are willing to forgo
comforts of home, indeed the very promise of a bright future, to place
themselves between the forces of hate and oppression and the human
spirit yearning for peace and safety. Jordan did not go to Iraq to
protect America but to protect mankind. Young and eager to answer the
cause of Liberty, Jordan followed his inner core of beliefs, taught by
loving parents and family members, to ensure the peoples of Iraq were
assured a chance of achieving peace and prosperity. His passing should
give hope to all that there are still those among us who are willing to
give the ultimate sacrifice to keep mankind safe and free. We honor all
men and women in uniform and will continue to pray for each and every
one of them as well as their families. Jordan is survived by his
parents, John and Celeste Poulin Thibeault and sister, Denise. Proceeded
in death by all of his grandparents, Theodore N. and Denise Paquet
Thibeault and Lawrence G. and Virginia Bolduc Poulin.
