Jordan Aaberg
September 28, 1990 ~ September 8, 2020
Jordan Tyler Aaberg, age 29, of Fargo, ND passed away unexpectedly on September 8, 2020. He was born September 28, 1990 to Janice Aaberg and Rodney Jensen, in Fergus Falls, MN.
Jordan grew up in rural Rothsay, MN attending Rothsay High School until his graduation in 2009.
Jordan attended North Dakota State University (NDSU) in Fargo majoring in Management Information Systems with minors in Business and Computer Science. He played for the Bison basketball team from 2009-2014. The highlight of Jordan’s basketball career was playing in the NCAA March Madness Tournament in Spokane. He treasured his Bison family friendships with teammates, coaches, and fans. After his time at NDSU, Jordan continued his passion for basketball by playing in city leagues and coaching the West Fargo Mustangs youth team.
Jordan was a part of the Information Technology (IT) community in Fargo. First working at Border States Electric and most recently Nexus Innovations, a job he thoroughly enjoyed. He loved the challenge of the profession and used his analytical mind to help others along the way.
Jordan married Courtney Brenden on September 2, 2017 at Hope Lutheran Church in Fargo. They were blessed with a daughter, Delia, born in 2019. Family life was important to Jordan and being a father and husband were the greatest joys of his life.
Jordan will be remembered as a gentle giant with a competitive spirit. Everyone he encountered loved his smile and sense of humor. He was a man of faith, family, and friendships. Many people looked to Jordan as a leader both literally and figuratively. He never spoke harshly of others and had a way of making everyone feel important. His legacy will live on through his family and friends. What an example for us all.

My deepest sympathy for Jordan’s family!
RIP Jordan
My deepest sympathies go out to Jordan’s family, friends, and former teammates and coaches. It was a pleasure getting to know Jordan and watching him grow as a person when he was on the NDSU basketball team and I was their equipment manager. He will be greatly missed.
My deepest sympathies to Mr. Jordan’s family. He was our 1st grade Junior Achievement teacher for multiple years and was adored by the 6/7 year olds that he taught. May your hearts find peace.
It was always fun watching Jordan play ball at NDSU, although I was much older than him, I would brag to everyone that he is from Rothsay. My deepest sympathies to Courtney, Delia and all his family and friends.
Our prayers are with you.
My heart aches for Jordan’s family~ he was an amazing BB player and was always fun to watch play ball. He seemed to be a stand up young man. His smile was priceless. May God help his wife, little daughter, and parents right now. Sending love & support💓

It was fun to watch a “local” Kid play ball at NDSU. I know he was much more than a basketball player, but that’s how I knew him. So young. So sad for his family.

Rod and Janice, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can’t explain the pain of loosing a child. My family will be praying for yours.

My heart is heavy after hearing of Jordan’s passing. His legacy will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Blessed be your memories.
I only ever met Jordan for the briefest of moments when Courtney and I worked at West Acres Mall. In the few moments that I met him, he seemed like such a wonderful man, and I could tell how much he cared for Courtney and loved her. I have no doubt that he was a loving husband and incredible father. My heart goes out to his family, and you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest and most sincere sympathies to Jordan’s family…..especially thinking of Courtney and Delia. May your love and memories of him help you all through this most difficult time. May God give you strength and comfort.
I met Jordan as a freshman at NDSU and a lot of time had passed in between conversations. Last fall I was home for an NDSU football game and I ran into Jordan. Long story short I ran into him before the game and the next thing I knew, we were chatting for 30 minutes and it was like a day hadn’t passed. The world needs more Jordan Aabergs and I consider myself lucky to call him a friend.
I’m sorry for your loss. He was a nice guy and a good person.he will be missed.
Courtney, Janice and family, our hearts are joined with yours as we mourn the passing of Jordan. He is an outstanding example to both the Rothsay community as well as his NDSU family. We are along side you as you celebrate his life.
We are so sorry for your loss.
My deepest sympathies to all of Jordan’s family and friends. I had the privilege of working with Jordan at Border States and was always impressed with his calm and positive demeanor. He always jumped in to help, and I don’t remember a time where he wasn’t smiling. The world needs more Jordan’s. He truly was one-of-a-kind.
Our hearts and prayers go out to Jordan’s family. May the good Lord wrap his arms around you all to comfort and guide you through this hard time in your life.
Jordan and I worked a bit together in IT at BSE – he was a bright guy. This kind of thing just sucks and words feel inadequate; but I have to express my genuine sadness to hear this news and I’m sending prayers for his wife, daughter and family.
We watched Jordan play BB for NDSU all his years of playing. Saw him with the former players at the Summit tournament in 2019. He always had a smile and hello. What an example. Sympathy and prayers to his family, parents and in-laws.
Rest In Peace, Jordan! Some great memories were made playing basketball during our high school years. You will be missed!
Janice and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Words cannot begin to tell you how sorry we are.
Kathy and Jerry Olson
Janice, Rod and Jordan’s family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I used to watch him play at NDSU. It was nice to see a small town kid make it big and play at NDSU and fulfill a dream of playing in March Madness. He was a great young man!
Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. Our prayers go out to all of your family.
Dave and Bernie

We are so thankful to Courtney and his family for allowing him to take part in coaching my 10 year old sons basketball team.

My God bless you and your family l, our prayers are with you and thank you again for allowing him to be a part of our lives.

Deepest sympathies to all of Jordan’s family. I knew Jordan when I worked at NDSU as a cashier in the dining center. He never came in without his big infectious smile.

Courtney, Delia, and Aaberg, Jensen, and Brenden families:
Our sincere, heartfelt sympathies to all of you during this difficult time of Jordan’s death. We did not personally know Jordan, but from all of the wonderful comments and things that we have heard about him, we feel that we did know him. May you always cherish your many beautiful memories of Jordan. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you, and will continue to be during the days, weeks, and months ahead. Big hugs. May God bless you all.
Jordan was one of the friendliest guys we’ve known and he always took the time to stop and say hello. We always enjoyed bumping into him at the street dance or various events around Rothsay and catching up a bit. He will be missed.
Courtney, Delia, Janice, Dexter, Rod and all who knew Jordan,
My condolences and deepest sympathies. Jordan was an amazing young man. His legacy will live on forever. His kindness, heart, compassion, work ethic, perseverance shined throughout his life. I was privileged to coach him and feel as though I learned more from him than he did from myself. His success on the court, however, will always be outshined by his kindness off it. My greatest coaching memories were from his senior season. When his star was rising as a player his personality and selflessness never changed. His dedication to his family, school, and friends was most important. That will be his legacy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
So very Sorry for your loss, life is crazy! We really have to take advantage of every moment! Spending peace, love and healing your way! 😇🙏
We are here for you Courtney. So thankful for the time I got with Jordan at NDSU. I value his friendship and that time. If you ever need anything we are here.
Thoughts and Prayers to all family and friends, you will be missed Jordan.
Our deepest sympathies to Courtney, Delia and families!

I was so shocked and sad to hear about Jordan. I didn’t know him very well, but what I knew was all great. The many testaments on here reflect a top-notch person who will be greatly missed by so many people. He made a positive difference in many lives. I pray that God will comfort you and bring you peace in these tough days ahead.
Courtney, Delia, Janice, Dexter, and the rest of the family…
So very sorry to hear about the loss of Jordan. he was an inspiration and role model to many people. his legacy will live on in our hearts. Everytime i seen him he always had a smile on his face, I could tell the love he had for his daughter was unbreakable along with his wife who he always treasured and still will, but watching and caring over her in heaven. I always enjoyed watching him play basketball when he was a student at rothsay. he will be greatly missed and I know he sure made his mom, dexter, and the rest of his family proud! im always thinking of you guys and am sending hugs your way.
Janice and Rodney,
When I heard of the death of Jordon a piece of my heart broke for the two of you. I can’t imagine the pain you are going through~no parent should have to bury a child. I have no doubt you are dealing with the “why’s”, “if only” “it just can’t be true” and the list goes on and on.I wish I had magical words that would take your pain away, but sadly I don’t. Please know that you are in my thoughts and I pray that God will give you the strength you need to get through the loss of Jordan until you meet again where you will never have to say good~bye again!
