I taught with Jon's father, Al, in the science department at Oak Creek. Jon was a teenager when he would join our summer science fun class and work on the projects and activites Al and I had for the kids. What a wonderful young man he was!

Jeannie,
I am so very sorry to hear about Jon's passing. I can still see him sitting up in bed with his glasses on smiling at me during his NICU stays. It was a pleasure to work with him in earlier years, and it was truly a blessing to be reconnected again more recently. May God be with you as you go through this difficult time, and may you find strength and peace in our Lord Jesus in the days ahead.

Jeanie,
I am so sorry for your loss we all loved Trapper so much, he was a one of kind wonderful guy. I am glad he isn't in pain any more and am happy I got to spend some time with him in the hospital a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I sat searching my computer for a picture of Jon from Mike's 50th birthday party, and couldn't find it. I was so sad but then looked out my kitchen window at the beautiful fence he helped Mike put up a 8 years ago that is still standing strong...then I went in my powder room and saw the sink he helped me connect (remember that?) and finally walked outside to see the pretty glass bird bath he made me after my neck surgery just sparkling in the sun. I realized then he is all around us in spirit and will be in our hearts forever..as always call if you need anything! Love Mike and Julie

Jeannie, you are first in my prayers these days, as God saw fit to end Jon's suffering, and take him into His eternal kingdom. You have been so strong through these last few years, and my prayer is that you can continue to have the strength and courage to get through the difficult days in the future. God bless you!

Jeannie,
I met you and trapper once at Kim Derda's birthday party but felt like i knew you and Trapper for years because of all the kind words and stories that were spoken of the two of you from Mark, my nephew Dan and his wife Kelly. I was so thrilled to have finally met the two of you and wish i would have gotten to know you and Trapper better. I was very sad to hear of Trapper's passing and was told he was a real fighter! Take good care of yourself during this difficult time and stay strong.
