Not sure what to say?

Bill and Marion,
I have so many fond memories of Jon.
He will always be a great inspiration to those that knew him. Jon was a special person who gave us courage to continue, a smile when we were distant, and the joy of knowing his character. God bless Jon. My thoughts are with you Bill, Marion, and family.

Dear Bill and Marion: we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Reading the expressions tell us what a blessing he was to so many people. You must be very proud of Jon.
Jim & Dorothy Jones

I remember, fondly, the years growing up with Jon. Moving to Muskegon before my senior year in high school was difficult and Jon was a wonderfully supportive friend. My best to all of you; wishing you peace and wonderful memories of Jon.

Jon was a great friend. I remember us playing together after school. In later life, we would be in the career group Bible studies. Kris and I would come home on vacation and attend church. Jon would be one of the first to greet us. He will be missed.

To Bill and Marion: I thought God put Jon in my life so I could bless him, but I know now that the blessing is all mine. He truly displayed the fruits of the spirit in his life, and most of all, humility. He was a dear friend and I will miss him.

Jon was a special friend. I was glad to have him work with me at my law office. My mother, Alene Hunt, joins me in sending our condolences to his family and friends.

To Jon's family, Jon was the most faithful prayer warrior I have known. When he was not physically able to participate in church activities, we always knew he was behind the scenes praying. I am sure much of the success of our church events is owed to his faithful prayer covering. We will truely miss him.

I was very lucky to have Jon as a friend over the past several years. We spent many hours together going to concerts, eating out and just hanging out around the pool eating pizza.
He was a great inspiration for his positive outlook in spite of his physical challenges.
He often spoke of how he wanted to be remembered as a loyal, faithful servant doing God's work.
You will be missed Jon.

Bill and Marion, so sorry to read of your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
