Jordon DuPonte Obituary - Rescue, California

Jordon W. DuPonte passed away February 27, 2004 at the age of 66. Jordon leaves behind his beautiful wife Nancy, daughters Kathleen (Paul) Casbarro, Sherri Kemp and Lora (Kevin) Miller. Jordon has five grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Jordon also leaves behind four sisters, extended family in Northern California, Hawaii, and too many friends to list. Jordon was born in Honolulu Hawaii and later found his way to Sacramento. Jordon attended McClatchy High School where he fell in love with Nancy Kirchgater and married upon graduating. Jordon was in the construction field his whole life. Building homes with Christian Ingles Construction for many years before getting his own General Contractors license. Duponte Construction started in the 60’s building custom homes in the Bay area, Shasta County, Sacramento County, Placer County and Eldorado County. In the early 70’s Jordon built the family home in Placerville off “DuPonte Drive”. Jordon enjoyed working on his tractor (Nelli) and was always seen grading the road or helping the neighbors. He enjoyed animals, wood working, chocolate cake and was a firm believer that Duct tape could fix anything. Jordon enjoyed spending time with his family and every visit with the grandchildren they could be seen getting measured in the garage to see who grew the most. Jordon and Nancy loved their trips to Sea Ranch and the occasional trip to Hawaii to visit extended family. There are so many memories at the DuPonte household, all the holidays, all the games played in the pasture, puttering in the barn and the in-depth conversations. Jordon was the Patriarch that always got the family together and is truly missed by everyone. Jordon left us way too soon but his impact on everyone who knew him will last forever.
