Jon G. "Zeke" Gierke

I remember going to I think it was Brown County and running through the woods many many years ago. I also knew him as Jonathon. The last visit to Uncle Glen and Aunt Arline´s I recall was around 1965.

I'm sorry the world has lost you, the cousin I knew as Jonathan, back when I was very little. Because your family moved so far away, I lost touch with you, but I heard wild & wonderful stories from time to time. I feel certain that the world is better off with your spirit nestled at its root. David & Gina, may you find peace in your grief.

I really only knew Jon as kid, but have kept in touch about him through Gina. This is not the best of pictures of Jon, but it was easy for me to find. It's my family (his mom was my Aunt) and theirs. Jon is on the second on the right standing taller than brother Dave. Gina is the baby.

My brother, Jon was a rebel traveling through life with integrity, honesty and character. I'm grateful for these positive influences as well as the influences he had for love if animals and music. You can be at peace now, dear brother after a long, hard ride. With loving memories, Gina

All I can say is I sure do envy whatever souls run into him Because they are going to have one hell of a adventure with Zeke
