Jon was one of the kindest, driven, and passionate person I have met. He was a huge part of our CrossFit community and we will miss him sincerely. Keep working on those overhead squats brother and I know you are loved and missed.

Jon, you left too soon. Our last conversation was about how much you liked working out with Matt during competitors hour at our gym, and how you wanted to push yourself to be better. You were always kind and friendly, and you told me you were happy when you saw I posted a pic of you and your dog on instagram a while back. We will miss you at our gym and will always remember your kind spirit.

I´ll never forget the first time I accomplished rope climbs at our old gym space.. Jon took the time to come over and say nice job after I was done. His kindness and encouragement will be greatly missed. My condolences.

Jon was such a sweetheart. It was always a pleasure to see him at the gym and workout with him. He always had a high five or fist bump for every person. He attended all the gym events and showed support to everyone. I will miss him very much.
