Always thinking about my love. My heart is broken and aches all the time. I miss you. I miss us. We had so much left to do. So much life left to live. I struggle daily with the fact that I can never see you, hold you and tell you I love you. I miss you so much babe. Love you forever. SIP my Angel

My Dear Brother Jon


I always wanted a big sister, but God knew I needed you. A big brother, a protector, someone that would see me through. During some of our last conversations, you said you were so proud of me...
Little do you know those are the values you instilled in me.

Rides in the red Toyota Celica with no heat; trips to New York, and blankets all over me.
You popping up at my school, when I got a D, Im glad Lisa was there to keep you from beating me.
Staying up late at night, because I couldnt get my homework right.......these are some of the memories Ill have to cherish for the rest of my life.

A son, a brother, a husband, a father, and a world wide friend..........you touched so many lives in your short lifespan.
Our family has been through so many ups and downs
No matter the reason or circumstances, you held it down.
As our family goes through this trial and tribulation; enduring the pain, for the first time in my life I dont have your phone to ring.

Celebrating your 50th. Clowning at our youngest brothers wedding. Having drinks and celebrating are moments we will never get.

As I penned this open letter I laughed and I cried.
When you said you wanted to get all of us together, this is not what I had in mind.
I havent felt THIS type of pain since 1993,
49 years just wasnt enough time for me

While I shared laughs with Chico Bean
You enjoyed your final bike ride, relaxed, clear mind, transitioned, and received your wings
Its so hard not to question Gods Plan; John 14:27, we leave him in your hands.

Jonathan Jon Jon Nixon
Love You

To Lisa and family ,
Know that many feel and share in the loss of your beloved Johnathon. Upon meeting you two, at a mutual friends home, I knew you were warm people. May the love of your friends and family, who share in your loss, help comfort you as you grieve. It is beyond understanding how things can happen so quickly. The love you shared you husband will last a life time. God bless you. My condolences.

"Ditto to all of the kind thoughts & prayers in this guest book. Jon and Lisa were each other's , soul mates if you will. They are engraved on each other's souls eternally. Jon loved his family. I loved Jon . He wasn't only my Son-in-law, he was also my Son. Anything the family needed, no pun intended but he was Jonny on the spot.. I will celebrate your life and the great times we shared together.

Praying for our family... especially Jon Jon's wife, & children, Carnell, & Clara (his parents), & Chris ( his brother), & everyone who loved and cared about him. I have memories of Jon Jon as a baby and as a little one... I was 12 years old back then, helping out his mom at my grandmother's house (Momma- Carnell's mom).....Over the years, I would occasionally see him at family gathering as he grew into adulthood, a man. When he smiled you couldn't help but smile back and his easy going personality would have you immediately liking him. I remember Jon Jon "educating" me on what it was like to live in Alaska (Lolol)...a place he was stationed at during his military service years. I know there are many cherished memories of the family who were close to him, as well those family members who saw him from time to time... Jon Jon affected not just family, but everyone that way.... Rest In Peace ....Rest In Peace Jon Jon.

The Bible says "Be a light on a hill." John was that light, he was always smart, witty and had a sense of humor. He would also help anyone, anytime. He was good Son, good Father, good Husband, good Brother and good Friend. He was very real, genuine and courageous. I will miss you and I love you; however, I know I will see you again and in welcoming you God said, Well done my Son."

In Love,
Aunt Steph

God says, "That we are to be the light, the city on the hill." You were that light for everyone. You were always willing to help no matter what. I always loved and admired your wit, how funny you could be, your smartness; yet, calmness even in chaos. I respected your courage and strength. And although, we might not see each other for months on end or speak it's as though we never missed a beat. I know you are at peace because you are with God now. I will miss you dearly and I take great pride to say, "You are a good Son, good Father, good Husband and good Friend. Well done."
With Love, I will Truly Miss You Nephew.
I am focused on praying for ALL and giving them strength during this undescribable time.

Peace and Blessings,
Aunt Steph

Sorry that you have gone. I will miss our good times, our laughs the projects we so frequently had but most of all our conversations, you were more than a cousin you were like a son but what gives me peace is the fact that you knew how I felt because I definitely gave you your flowers while you were here this is hard for me to write but knowing the loving father husband and friend you were to many does my heart good you definitely will be missed but take your rest now in the care of the Lord until we meet again...I love you!!
