Jorden Otis

Jorden Henry Otis, age 19, of Grantsburg, WI, was born November 25, 1996 in St. Croix Falls, WI to the parents of Kenneth Otis and Erin (Meyer) Otis. On Saturday, November 12, 2016, he was taken from us in a car accident. Jorden grew up in Grantsburg, WI, and graduated from Grantsburg Sr. High School in 2015. After graduating, he went to work for DR Tech as a welder. From there he worked at Vinco as a tower hand. In early 2016, he moved to Circle Pines, MN, where he started his life with his girlfriend, Anna Erickson. He worked for NTB (National Tire & Battery). Jorden loved fishing and hunting, which he learned from his Grandpa Bert, who he called Bumpa. Whenever he could, he would be outdoors. He also found a passion for derbying, and recently built his first compact truck and entered it. Jorden was just becoming a man. He was truly a family man. He was always the jokester of the family. Jorden had a contagious smile that made an impact on everyone he met. Jorden is survived by his father, Kenneth (Tyann) Otis; his mother, Erin (Meyer) Otis; siblings, Austin Otis (Corey) and Tony Otis, Christian Stewart, and Olivia Meyer; his girlfriend, Anna Erickson; paternal grandfather, Duane Otis; maternal grandparents, Gilbert and Edla Meyer; and nephew, Landon Laqua; great-grandmothers, Mary Jane Meyer and Edith Engelhart. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Nettie Otis; and great-grandfathers, Erven Meyer and Al Engelhart. Funeral Services were held on November 16, 2016 at the Zion Lutheran Church in Trade Lake. Arrangements were entrusted to Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home in Webster.
