Detective Jordan Laverty - public obituary
June 13, 1990 — July 29, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Detective Jordan S. Laverty on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at the age of 35. Born on June 13, 1990, in Austell, Georgia, Jordan leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication that will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Jordan married his beloved wife, Brittney Laverty, on April 13th, 2013, and was a loving father to their four children: Emory, Harper, Ivey, and Quinn. He is also survived by his mother, Victoria Laverty, his brothers Chris Hollingsworth (Jenni), Christopher Knollin (Jen), and Scottie Knollin, and his grandparents, Jack and Virginia Duff, in-laws Dana and Carlton Tucker, and Greg and Traci Howard. The warmth of his smile and the kindness of his heart will forever live on in their memories.
A proud Army veteran, Jordan served his country honorably before embarking on an 11-year career in law enforcement. As a detective with the Dunwoody Police Department, he consistently demonstrated his commitment to serving and protecting his community. His dedication to his work was matched only by his passion for life, which included being a steadfast fan of the Georgia Bulldogs and cherishing time spent with his family and friends.
Jordan's funeral service will take place at Woodstock City Church on Monday, August 4, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., providing an opportunity for family and friends to come together to honor his life and legacy. Before the service, a visitation will be held starting at 1:00 p.m. Jordan will be remembered not just as a remarkable law enforcement officer and veteran but also as a great father and friend who touched the lives of many.
In this difficult time, may we all find comfort in sharing our memories of him and supporting one another as we remember the joy he brought into our lives.
Rest in peace, dear Jordan. Your light will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew and loved you.
