Jon was the life of everything. There was never a dull moment with his presence. I know that I will never meet anyone like Jon. I was so close with him and all of my memories include him dancing wherever we were, even when at the grocery store it didnt matter he just loved doing whatever he felt like doing to cheer people up. He made me laugh so much with his inappropriate jokes. He had sass like no other! He loved my dog kiwi. He would call her little poochie pooch and we would go hiking and just observe nature. He loved just feeling the energy of the world around him. It is mot going to be easy going theough this, but I know he would want nothing else but for us to all smile, dance, and just be free. I will take his infectious energy with me throughout my life. He was family. All of my love goes to you all in this time. Be good to each other in this time and surround yourselves with all of the happy memories.

Dear Whit and Carol, My deepest sympathies to you all. I have such warm memories of Jonathan and the time we spent working together at North Elementary. He was always kind to me, and always seemed happy to see me. We had such a nice conversation the last time I saw him at the Hall of Fame dinner. I pray he is at peace, and that you and your beautiful family find peace as well, in the days and months to come.

This broke my heart. Jonathan was a great friend and he was always so excited about pretty much anything and everything, his enthusiasm actually drove me nuts sometimes but it was also what made him, him! He messaged me when he recently became an uncle about how excited he was. I give my condolences and I am so sorry for your loss and his entire family will be in my prayers

Jon, I'll never forget the hours long phone conversations where you would read me your poetry for hours. I hope you have found the peace you deserve. I'll cherish all the memories. Until we meet again, I'll miss you my friend.
