In an emotional tribute to her son, mum Linzi Allison described her little boy as having a "contagious" personality and said he brought laughter to the family.
Speaking to the ECHO, the 31-year-old said: "Jordan was a cheeky, fun-loving little boy and he had the best smile.
"Jordan loved giving hugs and he had one of these contagious personalities, so no matter what he was doing, even if he was naughty, you couldn't help but laugh.
"He was just such a funny character."
Linzi said her son loved the cartoon show Spongebob Squarepants which he affectionately called 'bob bob'. She said he also loved being outdoors.
"He was quite an outdoors child, he liked being in the garden and on the trampoline," she said.
"Jordan loved any animal, he had to pet every animal. He did rugby sprogs as well and loved playing football and things, he loved being free."
Speaking of the family's loss, Linzi said she struggles to "put into words" how it feels.
She added: "It's hard, it's really hard to adjust, it is the silence, it is very, very quiet.
"I can't really put into words how it is.
"Everyone is heartbroken and it doesn't feel real.
"Jordan was amazing, he really was, he was just so good."
Linzi said she wanted to thank staff and medics at Alder Hey Children's Hospital who helped Jordan and the family.
She said staff "did everything they physically could" for the family.
"We wanted to say thank you to Alder Hey, they were just incredible for Jordan," she said.
"As soon as we hit the hospital they were just amazing and then the bereavement services were exceptional.
"They did everything they physically could for us.
"We always felt very comforted by them."
