He built the house we all grew up in. His career focus later turned to plumbing. He got a couple of contractor jobs, just when he really needed them, that helped to pay off debts so that he could retire. He enjoyed drawing, reading, health and fitness, going boating on the lake, riding his bike, and playing with his kids and grandkids. Long-time Mesa resident, Jon resided in Arizona for the rest of his life.
He is survived by his brother David, 93, His daughters Jonetta, Maren, Anita, Cynthia, and Amy, thirteen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Preceded in death by his wife Louse, his daughter Julia Anne, his sister Natalie and his parents.
