View Funeral Webcast Jordan Tavita Colombel, beloved father, son, brother, and friend, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on June 9th, 2020, at his home in Murray, Utah. Jordan was born February 28th, 1987 to Tom and Cecilia Colombel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jordan was raised in Albuquerque, moved to Ferdinand, Indiana and later in life settled in Murray, Utah. Besides his US roots, Jordan has a rich heritage and connection to the Polynesian culture and the island of Tahiti, where his father originated from. Jordan’s two children were his pride and joy and the center of his universe, and he thoroughly enjoyed playing board games, swimming, and being outdoors with his daughter and son. Jordan also enjoyed tinkering with electronics, creating and innovating, traveling, and had a zeal for exploration. Jordan had a smile as big as life itself, and one of the most loud, unique, and contagious laughs. Jordan never met a stranger, only a friend he didn't know yet, and was one of the most outgoing personalities the world has known. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert A. Lenberg and Hazel Lenberg, Jules Colembel and Ninirei Colombel. Jordan is survived by his children, Kiele and Keanu Colombel, his mother Cecilia Colombel, his father Tom (Brenda) Colombel, his brothers Tena (Haley) Colombel, Bryce Colombel, Jared (Cora) Colombel, Jules Colombel, his step-sisters Sianna Auva'a, Toreka (Jaliz) Scanlan, Maia Auva'a, and five nieces and one nephew.
