I just wanted to tell Jon's entire family how much I admired and thought highly of him. Jon and I were only friends for a short time, but in that brief period I knew this young man was strong in body, mind and character. He was sweet, sensitive, loving and compassionate. His memory will be one that I know will never be forgotten.

Jon you truly are an amazing person. I remember you always being so kind and thoughtful to everyone you passed in the halls in high school. You really made me happy and I will never forget how sincere and nice you are. Nor will I forget your wonderful smile.

Your Friend, Abi

Jon was a wonderful person. I met him about two years ago through Nate Steele and he just seemed to have this teddy bear aspect to him. I have had many encounters with him since them and every time I have truly enjoyed his presence. He is now in a better place. Jon has a a great affect on many people's lives and will be missed greatly. We love you Jon!

I love you Jonathan. You have always been a true friend (2 Nephi 1:30). You helped me in time of death in my family, telling me to "remember the good times you had with him (grandpa). Remember him for the wonderful person that he is."--Pretty sound and sage advice from a 10 year old. This is how we remember you until we meet again! I love you and love your family.
