It is with great sadness that I write to express my sincere appreciation and admiration for a wonderfully special person, as well as to express my deepest condolences to Kathy, Darlene and David.

Darlyne,
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Jon. We don't understand when these things happen but trust God and in Him you will find your solace. May he cradle you in his arms as you grieve. Although we can't be with you, you are in our thoughts and prayers today and in the days ahead. Much love, Randy and Terry Kiser

He was confident, not cocky, and had a serenity born of being comfortable in his own skin. Regrettably, I have not seen Jon in many years but know that he was in love with his family, friends and mountains. His parents took a couple of guys on a ski trip in high school and I knew then that he was not long...

I am so very sorry over the loss of Jon. I have many wonderful memories of him and his family while growing up that I will always treasure. You are all in our prayers.
Love,
Patrice, Robert, Natalie & Ashley Rodriguez

I just heard that you are gone Jon. I am so sad. The last time we saw you at the SMU gathering in Denver a few months ago it brought back so many happy memories from the past. I feel so grateful to have known you and I will never forget your happy smile and how you touched my life. Julie Mirr
