Jordan was 46 when he competed on the fifth installment of Survivor in the summer of 2002.
In a public Facebook post, his daughter Shanda announced her father’s passing.
“Clay Brooks Jordan, my sweetheart of a Dad, went to heaven to meet Jesus and be reunited with his beautiful bride!” she wrote. “Andy and I are so heartbroken, but we get comfort from knowing they are together and he is no longer in pain. We love you, Dad! You will forever be my HERO!”
A restaurant owner living in Monroe, Louisiana, he was cast on the show out of more than 50,000 applicants. Although Jordan was one of the older contestants, he lasted 39 days and finished the game in second place.
