Jon Baggs Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jon graduated from Ursinus College with a BS in Biology and from Sherman College of Chiropractic. He owned and practiced at Heritage Chiropractic in Haddonfield since 1982. Additionally, Jon practiced in PA, SC and HI.
Jon's love for surfing began as a child in Ocean City, NJ which took him across the country to explore surf breaks. He continued to surf through his late 60's. Jon was a true renaissance man, with interests spanning from art & science to mythology and spirituality. However, you would most often find him playing classical music on the piano, designing and building furniture in his workshop, growing vegetables in his garden, enjoying nature or reading more books than a literary agent.
Jon's family will receive family and friends on Saturday, April 22, 2023 day, 12:00 pm_ to 2:00 PM at Kain-Murphy Funeral Services, 15 West End Ave., Haddonfield, NJ 08033. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in honor of Jon to Samaritan. Samaritan memorial gifts may be made online (https://samaritannj.org/giving/donate-now/), or mailed to Samaritan's Gift Processing Center – P.O. Box 71425 – Philadelphia, PA 19176-1425, or give to the American Cancer Society, PO Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 21741 (www.Cancer.org)

I still miss his smile and great conversation we had when I was "on the table". About life and everything else under the sun. Kind and intelligent. A great friend dearly missed

Jon Baggs was one of the kindest, smartest people I have ever known. As a little girl growing up surfing in Ocean City he was an inspiration to me, my big brother, my mother, and sister. Heaven just got a gem. Love ya always JCBaggs.

Kay and William, I am so sorry for your loss. Jon was a wonderful person. He was not only a great chiropractor, but a friend. I knew him for 39 years and feel so lucky to have known him. He was like a big brother. He would listen to me when I complained, offer advice when I needed it. I am going to miss him more than I can say. Peace be with you both.

Jon was my high school classmate and fellow surfer. We went to Puerto Rico in 1967 to surf. That trip and many other local surfing venues were amazing. Ocean City Polar Bear Classic a couple of times. What fun. He was my chiropractor up until CoVid. We discussed life in general many times while I was "on the table". A dear and cherished friend that I will miss.

I was a classmate of Jon's at HMHS. I wish I could have known him through his adult life. The world needs more men like him, thoughtful, artistic, philosophical, practical, mystical. I know you will miss him terribly, I am so sorry he is gone.

I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Baggs. He was a great doctor and helped me through a lot of pain. May he rest in peace.
