Our beloved Walton McJordan, Jr. “Mac”, age 87 passed away on July 13, 2024 at Haven Hospice in Chiefland, Florida.

 

He was the son of Margaret and Walton McJordan, Sr. of Orlando, Florida who both preceded him in death, as did his brother Richard McJordan of Orlando, Florida.

 

Mac is survived by his wife Barbara Ann McJordan, sons Walt III and Douglas McJordan, and grandsons Austin and Walt IV.

 

Mac started flying at the age of 17 by bringing hunters into duck blinds then made a living by transporting tropical fish from South America. He then joined the Army in 1959 and flew for Air America for 3 years in Cambodia and Laos. He then flew commercial airlines for Southern Northwest and Delta and retired after 30 years as Captain.

 

During his life Mac started and worked many businesses including KOA Campgrounds, Brown Pelican Restaurant, Cypress Station, Pelican Reality, and Cedar Key RV Resort. He also volunteered to serve on many committees including 30 years with the Levy County Development Authority. Mac was a passionate hunter and traveled the world collecting trophies. He was a wonderful husband, father and friend and is flying with angels now.

 

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, July 20, 2024 at the First Baptist Church of Cedar Key. Pastor Billy Dalton will officiate.
