The Call Me Kat celebrity was known to have only experienced Covid-19 once and had no other significant health complications other than these respiratory issues.
With his favorite videos, Jordan emerged as a beacon of hope for many on social media during the worst of the coronavirus outbreak.
The television personality amused viewers with clips of him interacting with the audience in his trademark Southern accent while holed up with his 84-year-old mother in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
In an April 2021 interview, Jordan discussed how getting sober has affected his life.
“I came to AA 22 years ago and I had to research things,” he told us at the time. “I had to write about my fears, my beliefs, to find a god of my understanding, and it’s getting rid of that fear, that burning lake of fear.”
“I don’t know when, but here I am, 65, completely comfortable with who I am, what I am and how that happened. I think just living life and discovering things and reading things.”
He added, “It was a trip away from things you learned as a kid. It’s in the search; that’s my belief and don’t think I’ll figure it out. It’s just an open heart.”
