I had the pleasure of meeting both Jon and JC through mutual friends of ours. He was such an amazing person! He will truly be missed. My deepest sympathies to the entire Shotton family.

We can never make complete sense of a loss at this degree. May the love that surrounds you give you strength in the coming months and years.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, always.

Having spent (much) time in the field and back at home base (Chandler) with Jon, I have gotten to know him very well. He was always kind and ready to chat with you about anything. Long trips in field are hard. Jon knew that and taught me what he knew and how to get through them. I will never forget that. He will be missed greatly. My deepest condolences to Adrienne and the rest of his family.

Jonathan and I met on his first trip to Kwajalein, and quickly had a bond as co-worker and in friendship. He lived everyday to the fullest and I can hear him say to me everyday "It's all good". I miss my friend. My heart goes out to his family.

Jon,

You and I will meet again
When we're least expecting it
One day in some far off place
I will recognize your face
I won't say goodbye my friend
For you and I will meet again

(You will forever be missed little brother!!!)

I can't express in words the feelings that are bouncing from one end of my head to the other and back and forth from my heavy heart. Jonathan was one of the most caring and sensitive souls I have ever had the good fortune of knowing and I wish there was a way that I could turn back time and make this just a horrible nightmare, as opposed to the reality it unfortunately is. He made a HUGE impact on my life and will always be a large part of my fond memories. Rest in peace, my friend. I will love you forever and ever...
