Harlem Community leader Cordell Cleare said her last goodbye to her beloved son Jordan Emmanuel Nieves on August 24, 2021 during his funeral held at the Covenant Christian Church in the Bronx.
Jordan Emmanuel Nieves who passed away at Mt. Sinai Hospital on August 6, 2021, was born on September 5th, 1992 to Cordell Cleare and David Nieves.
Jordan’s early childhood battle with lead poisoning resulted in landmark legislation being implemented in New York City that has protected thousands of children ever since its passage in 2004.
He is survived by his parents, brothers, nephew and host of family and friends.
