Darla,
Thinking of you … love, support and hugs.
Doug and Darla,
Words cannot express our sorrow for your loss. Your son has become a member of our family in so many ways. He always spoke of home with love and longing, and told us how being with our family reminded him of home. I’m grateful that we were able to give him a little of a homey atmosphere so far away such as it was. Believe me when I say that we are grieving with you.
You have so much to be proud of. He was a fine young man and has gone out of his way to help these young men and women find their way.
Our family will miss him always.
To the Hake Jordan family,
Words can not express the shock I felt when I heard of your loss. I had the privilege to serve with SSG Hake Jordan in the Waco Recruiting Company. He was always and up beat and highly spiriited Non-Commsioned Officer. His loss will be deeply felt by those who served with him. My deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and fellow service members, You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I lift up special prayers for your family. “Sgt Hake” has been in my home several times. He was a great influence on my son, whom he recruited from Malakoff High school. He helped Daniel to realize a potential in himself that he had never realized before. He was there throughout Daniel’s senior year giving him encouragement and support. I have pictures from Daniel’s graduation standing with Sgt Hake. He will always be remembered and loved by my family.
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved son. Our hearts and prayers go out to you as you grieve. Thank you for letting your child serve our country. Sleep with the angels young man and rest with the Lord, for your job is done.
This young man was a recruiter to my nephew in Fairfield, Texas. He became a very important person in my nephew’s life, and was very proud of his service. I met him at my nephew’s high school graduation. He proudly wore his Cavalry Uniform on a hot Texas summer evening. My sincere condolences to his family.
I am sorry for your loss. I also want to tell you how proud i know you are of him and and how greatful this world is to have had him protecting us. not everyone can serve and protect as he did and we are truly indebted to him and all that he is…….
I was the First Sergeant of the BRT Troop in Germany that Nicholas was in when we deployed to Iraq together in 2003. Nicholas was an outstanding Soldier and I was proud to have served with him. I am deeply sorry for your loss and hope it brings comfort to your family to know how many friends he had in the Army. I will always hold his memory close.

To Nick’s family,
I’m very sorry for your loss. Nick was one of my soldiers when I was stationed in germany in ’02. Nick was my driver during our Iraq tour in ’03-’04. He was a great kid and one of the ones I could always depend on to get the job done.
I hope your family can find some sort of healing through these tough times. Remember Nick’s service to his country, which I know he was proud of and you must be too.
See you on the high ground Nick!
Rest in Peace brother.
To the family of SSG Nicholas Hake-Jordan, you will be my prayers and the prayers of his brothers from G-Trp BRT. Rest in Peace Hake. Till we dismount at Fiddlers Green”.
SSG Rudy Alvarado
I knew Nicholas while we were stationed together in Germany. He was one of my most reliable soldiers. He was a go to guy when I needed something done and done right. As one of his leaders we were not suppose to hang out together, but that was hard to do with a guy like him. He will be missed by all that knew him. Thank you Nic for your sevice and most of all your friendship.
RIP Bro…

I served with Hake-Jordan during our first deployment in 2002. He was a good soldier and a better friend. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. RIP Brother. Scouts Out!

To Hake-Jordan’s family, I offer my deepest condolence to you and your friends. He will be missed by many. I knew him to be a good man and a fine Soldier.
I appologize for commenting so late.
Rest In Peace Hake-Jordan.
He was a great man and it was my honor to serve with him in basic training, Germany, and Iraq! My condolences to the family members he left behind.
My deepest sorry to your family. I seved with Hake-Jordan in Baumholder Germany in Golf Troop BRT. Hake-Jordan was a good soldier but one heck of a guy. One that I’m proud not just to call a friend but a brother.

My deepest condolences to his family. I was stationed with him in Germany when he was fresh out of basic training. He wasn’t in my platoon, but I got to spend a lot of time with him on our off-time. Great person.
Darla,
Often over the many years since we’ve been in touch, I’ve thought of you and wondered how you were doing. I never in a million years expected to stumble upon this news.
I fondly remember our relationship from all those years ago.
My heart goes out to you reading about Nick. I know he meant the world to you. I remember us often trading stories from when the kids were little. I remember you telling me how Patrick Haiduk would come and hang with you guys, and how great that was for Nick.
My thoughts are with you….
