Family members said Jordan, from Gwynedd, Wales, had always wanted to live in Australia – and was “living his dream” at the time of his death. He had been out with his friends watching a surfing competition before going out for drinks on the day of the tragedy, Caernarfon Coroner’s Court was told. The group then walked back towards the hotel where one of his friends,Mitchell Phillpotts, was staying. Jordan and Mitchell then decided to climb to the top of the church, the inquest heard.

He then shouted to a friend to call an ambulance, but it was too late as Jordan was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination – which was carried out in Australia beforeJordan’s body was repatriated – showed that he sustained “multiple injuries” in the fall. In a statement read out during the inquest his mother, Jill Mawson, described her son as a person “full of energy” that was “loved by all”. Ms Mawson said: “We want to remember our Jordan not for how he died, but for how he lived. “He loved life and was an amazing son, grandson, brother, nephew,partner and friend. “He was loved and adored by all who were lucky to know him. “Jordan was so full of energy and enthusiasm and had a zest for adventure – he was happiest when climbing mountains, surfing andsnowboarding. “He loved getting to know people and had a genuine interest in people’s lives and loved listening to people’s stories. “His main goal was always to help anyone who needed help and support and he showered us all with his love. “His smile could light up a room and his kindness and ability to see the best in everyone is what we are most proud of. “He will always be our shining star and the love for our boy is forever strong.” Acting senior coroner Katie Sutherland recorded a conclusion of accidental death. After his death, Jordan’s family set up the Jordan Baker Foundation in a bid to make a “positive difference in people’s lives”. More than £31,000 has been raised in his memory. To donate, click here.
