Our hearts are hurting after hearing if Jon’s passing. He was loved by all our family. We will miss him dearly but will remember all the great times we shared.

I worked with Jon in the Waverley golf shop for 6-1/2 years and he was like an older brother to me. He tried to teach me how to swing a club like him, and try as I might, I never was able to come close to his beautiful swing. Jon and I memorably fished the Deschutes, Trask, N. Fork Nehalem, Lewis, and the Cowlitz, from the banks and from his drift boat like brothers. We traveled to pro-am tournaments together, he taught me to cuss in Korean (I can never thank him enough for that useless...

I knew John as a pro at Tuallitan country club. I thought he was a hilarious guy with a great sense of humor. He was also a very generous person in a quiet way. My husband Ron Matin Was very impressed with his generosity and of course he liked him as a person. I’m very sorry for your loss your husband and your father and your grandfather was a really lovely person..

One memory of Jon still sticks out in my mind from a visit to NC from him and Shelby daddy had grilled spare ribs and I don’t believe I have ever seen a man eat so many in my life. It tickled my Daddy to see him enjoy those ribs. RIP Jon
