Hord was deep-voiced and influential as a delegate representing Phi Gamma Delta, Jones said. “Anything that dealt with people, you could count on him to be (involved),” Jones said. “He loved being in the middle of things; it was just the type of guy he was,” Jones said. Jones said Hord enjoyed fishing and hunting in his spare time and that he was al ways willing to help others. “He was a giving per son,” Jones said. “He cared for others more than him self. He could always be counted on. Anything any one else didn’t want to do, he would do it. The man was selfless.” Jones said Herd’s friends and family are still unclear about the circumstances sur rounding his death, but that they have no uncertainty about the legacy Hord left them. Jones said Herd’s concern for others will al ways stick with them and that his death left them with an example of what a true friend should be. “He pushed us to be more like him,” Jones said. “We looked to him as an example of what we wanted to be more like in our own lives.” Jones said the Fijis are setting up a fund in fiord’s name. All money raised will go toward buying an Aggie ring for a Fiji who exhibits the same “happy- go-lucky” characteristics that Hord possessed. “If we aspire to be any thing, it would be to be as good a friend to anyone that Ian was to (us),” Jones said. Hord is survived by parents Ronald and Kar en Hord; his 19-year-old brother, Shay; and his 26- year-old brother, Jason.
