Love You So much Little Brother.

The Weaver
My life is but a weaving between my God and me
I can not choose the colors, He worketh steadily
Oft times He worketh sorrow, and I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
The dark threads are as needful in the Weaver's skillful hands
As the threads of gold and silver in the patterns He has planned
Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reasons why.
He loves, He knows, He cares, nothing these truths can dim
And he gives the very best to those who leave the choice with Him.

Watching Jon at an early age grow up to become the man that he was. I was in awe of his intelligence.I never found out what his IQ was but I knew Jon was extremely smart.It came to him naturally.I was in awe.

Jon, I think about you every day. I miss you so much! I wanted to make so many more memories with you, but at least I can treasure all the wonderful ones that I have. You are the most amazing man I have ever met and I only wish I would have had the chance to spend more time with you. We may not have had the chance to grow up together, but every memory I have of us makes me smile. I am so proud to call you my big brother. I hope you know how much I love you and how special you are to me.

Love your little sis~ Kelly

We only met Jon once but he made a lasting impression on us.
April 29, 2012
Jon was my brother in-law and he will be missed not by only his family, but a whole community of various organizations in the valley and beyond.
Jon served his country as a marine, his community as a sheriff's deputy, he was consistently volunteering his free time to help others.
Jon was an independent man with strong views regarding most any subject on the table for discussion. I often did not agree with his views, but always respected his opinions and his stead fast belief that whatever was wrong could be righted.
Jon:
I may have never said...”Love you brother”, but I did and was proud to have known you.
You will be sorely missed by your brother in-law.

When we ride tomorrow "Sparks Last Run" - Sparks will be with Hoss and I on the bike carried in our hearts the whole way. He will be forever in our memories. We miss him more than words can say.

RIP my friend :( you will be missed!

Dear Ingrid and other grieving parties:
What an inestimable tragedy. Like many others, we were Jon's best friends who met him just twice. When I broke the news to my spouse, Jami her unfiltered reaction was, "No, no, we needed him!" True that!
Our deepest condolences.

It was a pleasure to have crossed paths with you, Jon. You were a friend to Charlie, my fiancé, and I and also a loving partner for my best friend, Ingrid. My fiancé connected with you by way of our hobby. You and he love the freedom of the Ride. You and I connected in our laughter and love of playing games. I am sad for the many you touched in your short life that they will not benefit again from the wonderful charitable contributions and love that you effortlessly gave to them. You will be sorely missed. Like someone already mentioned, we will see you again. Our paths will cross again!

I knew Jon for about 8 years, he and I worked very hard together to make sure the schools were safe. He was a man with integrity and character, I was saddened by his death, but I am grateful I knew him and called him friend. I pray for you and the family, but know he is with the Lord, what better place to be!
April 05, 2012
Jon you were one of the first friends I had when I showed up here in the desert, we worked together at Bird Technologies in the same lab and ate at the same lunch table every day for 3 years. When I left there I did't know if I would see you again. Thank God you popped up in the biker community and I was blessed to have you as a friend again God Bless You and your Family. All My Love to You Brother.....Rich Morgan, Desert Riders Association

I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHEN I GOT THE NEWS OF THE ACCIDENT. I DIDN'T KNOW JON ON A PERSONAL LEVEL BUT THROUGH OUR WORK AT SCHOOL. JON WAS A NICE GUY AND WORKED HARD TO GET THE JOB DONE. I WILL MISS THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND OF COURSE HIS FAMOUS COWBOY HAT HE WORE ALWAYS. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES TO HIS FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS WHO HAD THE HONOR OF KNOWING THIS GREAT MAN AND ALL HE HAD TO GIVE TO THIS COUNTRY. HOW BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN BECAME WHEN JON ARRIVED. YOU WILL BE MISSED COWBOY.

Oh Jon, I enjoyed and valued our times together so very much ... the gatherings at your home and the Scorpio Parties at ours. You cared so much for others and your mind was always full of enthusiasm and curiosity for so many things in nature and beyond. I miss you already and you will be in my heart forever.

I miss you so much my heart aches. I have to believe GOD has plans for you and work for you to do.....I guess I'm just selfish....I want you here!
I love you Brother...

The hardest part is letting go of the expectations of the future. The future I held of knowing that I had such an amazing friend, a brother really who I could always go see and who I would enjoy into my wee old years. The expectation that it didn't really matter much what else I was doing with my life, he was going to be there. We would have exciting adventures together exploring our many fascinating interests because everything was amazing and fascinating to Sparks. That is what is so hard, letting that idea go. But letting go of an imagined future with Sparks in it, that's hard. That's hard. Hoss

I love you Jon. I miss you so much and I just cannot believe you are gone. This does not feel real. You seemed like you would live forever and you will in our hearts.
Love you always and I will see you again this I know.
Your little brother,

It is such a sad time for those people whose lives Jon touched. Affectionately known as "Sparks" in some circles, I was glad I had the brief chance to meet him. His ride here was way too short.
