He was pronounced dead at the scene and a post-mortem examination later found the cause of death was a head injury.
In a statement, Jordan's mother, Kim, said: "He was a loveable rogue and was always polite and keen to help anyone who needed his help, be that physical help or just to listen to a friend.
"He would cheer them up with his usual larking about or joking around.
"He was a pleasure to have as a son and his loss is devastating. He was greatly loved by all that knew him."
Police have launched a murder inquiry and want to speak to a man and woman about the incident at the shop in Hyde Road.
Det Insp Theresa Carter said: "At this stage, we know that Jordan was assaulted outside the grocer's store, but we don't know exactly what led up to the assault.

The woman was slim and had long black straight hair.
