I am so sorry to know

Group of 10 Memorial Trees

I am so very sorry to hear this late. Jonathan was a wonderful human being. I met him at God Samaritan Hospital during his residency. He was a very kind and compassionate man. He will be missed. RIP.

I knew Jonathan later in life when he was relaxing at the Lake Coeur D Alene summer camp (Insidsen) where we hiked, contra danced and ate together for several years. Not only did I dance with him, I danced with his whole family and the other 100 contra-dancers over the years due to an occasional shortage or odd number of participants from time to time. Dancing made everyone at the camp a sort of family relation or close friend whether they liked it or not. I remember Jonathon sang a song on...

I am so sad to learn, today, of Jonathan's passing. I met him years ago at a dance camp, and he introduced me to Vocal Week, a singing camp in West Virginia. I did not receive a Christmas letter from him and had been worried so I just now searched for him on the Internet. I remember him as forever kind, extremely talented in singing and music, fun to be with, active and fit with very healthy eating habits. I am happy I was able to meet Andrew and Jordan both in Shiprock and in Spokane. I...

An Amherst '69 classmate, I greatly enjoyed knowing Jon, and always looked forward to singing with him at reunions. I had hoped to meet him at a barbershop get-together in the NW, since moving to Vancouver, BC). I'll miss him greatly. He was a kind, smart, talented man.

I knew Jon so little yet he took the time to train me this last Spring as I was learning the ropes at Concentra, as a physician and a colleague. There was a kindness and humbleness to his character and I am reassured that he knew our Lord and Savior and hope to know him better, in God's Time, when we both in our Eternal Home.

Marlene and I were deeply enriched by the three years we spent at Shiprock and still cherish the many lifelong friends we made there. Because of this, we are forever grateful that Jonathon was such a persistent recruiter and that he put Shiprock on the map for us. It was around the third year of working with Jonathon that it dawned on me that he had a truly exemplary attribute: he rarely if ever said a negative word about anyone. Though at a different level of importance, it was also...

We were so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of our Franciscan brother, who lived his Franciscan values daily in his life and work. He is and will be missed by many, not the least of whom would be his sons of whom he was undoubtedly so proud. A life well lived. Prayers go out for his loved ones as they and we grieve his loss. Too soon gone.
