After learning of his death, Jorgensen’s mother Cindy Crow posted a statement on the Facebook page:
It is with the greatest sadness of our life to have to share that our sweet boy spread his wings and flew to God's protective arms where the sun always shines and there is no pain. God keep my baby protected until we meet again.
God bless all our soldiers who give so much and ask for nothing in return. Save them all from the pain of war and bring them home to their families
Good night my angel I'll see you soon,
Mommy
