Jonathan Rich Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 7, 2016.
Jonathan David Rich, age 42 of Garland, passed away on June 6, 2016 with his loving family at his side. He was born on December 16, 1973, the son of Roger Rich and Joanne Reece Rich. In 2004, Jon married the love of his life, Sarah Fox. Jon's sense of humor and passion to make people laugh will be greatly missed. His family and friends will remember his kind heart and thoughtful character. In his spare time, Jon loved to fish and was a true techie tinkering with all of the latest gadgets.

Jon's greatest joy was his family that he leaves behind: his wife Sarah and their children Wesley and Tristan; his brother Phillip Rich and wife Angie; his father Roger Rich and wife Carolyn; his mother Joanne Reece Rich; step siblings Laura Chaney and Steve Chaney. Jon was preceded in death by his sister, Angie.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, June 9, 2016 from 6-8PM at Grove Hill Funeral Home. A celebration of Jon's life will be held at 10AM on Friday, June 10 at Saturn Road Church of Christ 3030 Garland Road, Garland 75041. Interment will follow at Grove Hill Memorial Park.

I am so sorry for your loss . Although your hearts are filled with pain and sorrow , my prayer is that you gain comfort and hope from God's promise to reunite us with loved ones on the earth , never having to say goodbye again . For Jesus will make this earth the problem-free paradise that his Father intended it to be. I have gained comfort and strength from this promise, may your family do the same.

For the Rice family, I am so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort hear your heart-broken prayers and provide you with much needed comfort during the difficult days and weeks ahead (Isaiah 42:10).

I never thought that I would need another brother, and then our parents wed and in stepped Jon. Our lives and families are so similar. We both had two children spread apart, loved to fish and blow up fireworks, our silly sense of humor, the way we blow our noses and our love for your dad all connected us. Every time we came to town you made certain to come and see us. Although it's been 25 years now that we have been siblings, it is way too soon to lose you. I never knew I needed you until I didn't have you.

My funny little cousin. I'll always remember you making animal sounds in the car on the way to memaw's and pepaw's farm. God rest your soul. I hope to see you on the other side.

I worked with Jon at Applebees, where we grew to become friends. Sarah and I pretty much grew up together. I was blessed to be part of their first meeting and to watch their relationship blossom. Jon will be sorely missed but never forgotten. My heart is heavy. Never seems to be enough time.
