Scott Gali Jorda Obituary
Scott Gali Jorda, lovingly known as Pops, passed away on November 3, 2025 at the age of 66. A devoted son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather and friend, Pops lived for his family and worked tirelessly and selflessly for them.
Scott was born on October 17, 1959 in Baltimore, MD to Digna Gomez Jorda and the late Antonio Maria Jorda. He graduated from Woodlawn High School in 1977. For more than 40 years, he carried on the passion for engineering and manufacturing – If he could dream it, it could be built.
As a pilot, he had a unique ability to see the world from a different perspective. But his love for flying never overshadowed his love for family, which was his greatest joy. He was a loving husband of 27 years to Valerie Jorda and proud father to Kristina Smith (JP Smith Jr.), Trisha Aponte (Noel), Leah Beam (Eric) and Stephen Jorda (Michelle). He cherished his 14 grandchildren Shane, Levi, Marissa, Kennady, Asher, Jamie, Savannah, Jackson, Brody, Tony, Antonio, Lydia, Angelo and Matteo.
Pops enjoyed spending the day at the go kart track, dancing to 80s music, spinning tunes as DJ Fascination, hosting a family pig roast, giant Christmas trees and capturing life’s moments through his passion for photography. Most of all, he lived life to the fullest.
Scott is also survived by brother Jose Jorda and sister Lynn Selby (Mike) and nieces Elisa Wells (Ethan) and Cassie Selby.
The family thanks all who have offered love and support during this time. He has left a lasting legacy of love, laughter, and a life well-lived.
