I didn´t realize Jon passed away almost 3 years ago. I am in a little shock in seeing his passing when I googled his name to see how he was doing. I met Jon in HighSchool at a wonderful church youth group and would run into him after HighSchool every once in a while. I loved reconnecting on Facebook with Jon and seeing his wonderful son and Jon hanging out at his beautiful home. Jon was very kind and had a strong faith in God. I am saddened to see Jon´s passing but have faith he is in a better place.

Jon, you were such a light in so many lives. I know you loved and were so proud of Jack who was growing so tall just like you, you beautiful soul. We sort of grew up together and my biggest regret is I wasn't able to take you up on your invitation to the Husker Superbowl several years ago. Love and light my gorgeous friend and I will see you on the other side. Love and light to your family. - Laura Abel

Sorry to hear about Jon he was one of the best <br />Thanks for the beers and the laughs RIP

My heart is saddened for all Jon’s Family and friends. He was a bright light to many.
I met Jon for the first time about 38 years ago at the Upstairs of Howard Street Tavern listening to Joe King Curasco and The Crowns play. From that day forward we were connected through the love and passion of music while living in Omaha. We had kept in touch all these years with conversations that revolved mostly around music and how it moves us and carried us through various chapters of our lives. (and family lake lovin’ stories)

Until we meet again Jon, RIP
