Safe Journey Jon... I remember him well as exactly how he was described in the obituary ciculated... gentle, friendly and active! He clearly loved life and his large immediate family, a beautiful legacy he leaves behind~Jon will be missed by many and remember by many more... he was a neat person and frankly left us too early, as numerous friends and classmates who have gone before him... God Bless!
With sympathy,

Jon, with his easy going way, perpetual smile and genuine interest in others. That one of a kind individual that is natural, caring. Fondly remembered!

My heart goes out to Jonathan's family, I so remember him well, even through junior high. Life is never the same after you lose someone, it's truly weird, I know that sounds so silly but it is.
My hubby died a few years ago, we were married for almost 39 years and it is werid that he's gone but you learn to move on and grow and you become stronger! My two guys and I have a new motto, change is good!!
Love and prayers to Jonathan's family

Jon was a great team mate on the cross country team and a friend away from the team as well. Good to see him at 40th reunion. I remember talking with Jon summer after graduation. . .there was some apprehension about the future, but some excitement as well. It seems he made a very rewarding life for himself, something we can all be happy about.
