Nine years ago, Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett formed a walk team, Marching 4 McFaull, to participate in the Breakthrough T1D Walk as a tribute to our friend and colleague, Jordan McFaull who passed away from Type 1 Diabetes in 2015. Jordan was a graduate of Tulane University and Loyola University College of Law, and joined MBLB after passing the bar in 2014. He was an industrious and resourceful attorney and a cheerful addition to our firm.
We recently ran across the post, “In Memoriam of Jordan McFaull,” on The Current, the blog for Loyola Maritime Law Journal (Jordan was Editor-in-Chief during law school). It includes his prolific and impressive list of publications.
With Marching 4 McFaull gearing up for the Breakthrough T1D Walk at LaFreniere Park in Metairie, Louisiana, on November 16, 2024, we wanted you to know more about Jordan, how much he accomplished in his short lifetime and how much he is still missed.
In Memoriam of Jordan G. McFaull
Jordan G. McFaull, J.D., was the first Captain to take the helm here at the Current. Jordan was a scholar. After moving further south from his home state of Kentucky, he graduated cum laude from Tulane with degrees in English and History and went on to receive a Juris Doctor from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. He was Editor-in-Chief of the Loyola Maritime Law Journal and completed legal internships with both the U.S. Coast Guard Eighth District, New Orleans and Judge Stephen B. Beasley, Many, Louisiana.
Jordan was tenacious. After passing the Louisiana Bar in 2014, he joined the law firm of Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett where he became a rising star in Admiralty Law.
Jordan had an infectious love of life. He enjoyed sports, hiking, outdoor activities, cooking, watching documentaries, traveling, and spending summers with his relatives in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He was an all-star athlete, excellent student, persuasive orator, outstanding writer, charismatic leader, compassionate friend, and loving son.
The world grew a bit darker without his light when Jordan passed away at the young age of 26. Here, Jordan still remains our guide star. We continue to chart a new course, and his legacy lives on as long as we stay true.
