Though the specific cause of Jordyn’s death has not been disclosed, Bushrod noted in an Instagram post that he and his wife Jessica Mendez “knew there were issues before birth.”

“Because of you Jordyn our family is stronger,” he wrote. “You were going to be special. We were not expecting or ready for this. Having you leave this earth after 1 week just hurts. My kids are my ❤️ and to never see you again will be tough BUT our GOD will get us through this.”

“We appreciate all the love and support that have been directed our way,” he added. “Rest in Paradise ‘Jo-Jo’ and I will miss you forever baby girl.”
