Not sure what to say?

Jon Thomas was my head wrestling coach at Troy high 2012-2016. He was the best coach I´ve had and that goes for any sport. He really cared about making us the best version of ourselves and not just on the mat but in all aspects of life. I have nothing but good memories of Jon, he´s given me plenty of advice for life in general that I still live by to this day, he was a great role model, mentor, coach, and also a friend to me. I was going to stop wrestling my senior year and I remember having...

A coaches dream! He soaked it up like a sponge. Everything I would show and the philosophy behind it he could recite back to me in action and word. It was my humble honor to be able to train with this kid in a sport that we both loved to our core. He had a gift, and I only hope I helped elevate that gift even in the smallest way.

My deepest condolences to you and your family

My deepest condolences to you and your family during this time. Please know that the Delia family is keeping you and yours in our prayers and thoughts."

I join everyone here is sending support to all who knew and loved Jon, especially his folks and siblings. It was a privilege to watch him grow through school with that infectious, sweet smile. I am saddened by his passing. I hope those left grieving find some peace in his peace.

May you find strength in Jonathan's memories in this difficult time of loss. Our prayers goes out to you and the entire Thomas family.

God Bless,
