Jon,
At first glance it would appear that your life was cut painfully short. This would be a mornful thought if it were taken at just that, the abrupt and shortened end of a loved one's life. Jon, I feel your life was more than that; it was full of feeling and love. I have read over many if not all of the tributes addressed to you here. I see your life as time spent in the care of others and the expressions of gratitude given to you, tell that story...a story of a lifetime spent living; a lifetime spent touching other lives. I am greateful for the time I knew you. I was not as close to or as knowledgable of you and your life as many but the part of it I was privy to partake in was meaningful and memorable for me. You made an impression on me from the first time I met you that I suppose I will not soon forget. I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. You are a good man. I wish you peace. I wish you sweetness for always.
Sincerely
Dave

It has taken me a long time to be able to express some of my feelings. Jon, I miss your visits & hugs. I miss your playfulness with our boys & your back flips on the trampoline . My kids will miss you spoiling them and constantly telling Shelby and Bailey how beautiful they are. Thank you for your funloving attitude and care for others. I'll miss you while we are apart but I have comfort knowing we will see eachother again.

The time I had to get to know Jon was cut short by this tragedy. But I will treasure the few months and moments I had to get to know this loving, endearing, kind man and see the love he had for his family. We love you Jon, and miss you dearly and hope you are at peace. Thank you for your love, support and acceptance. You will never be forgotten.

I am so grateful that I was able to have had Jon as a friend. My thoughts are with his whole family. He left behind so many good memories with so many people. All of the wonderful qualities that Jon had will stay with us and keep us all smiling forever. He was such a wonderful person. He is missed and will never be forgotten.

It is hard to sum up all I have to say about Jon into a couple of paragraphs, but I will do the best I can.
Jon has meant a lot in my life. It was Jon, Danny and Josh that talked me into moving to Arizona and now I don't plan on living anywhere else. Jon was the first person to start calling me Dre and now everyone does. He was one of the first guys outside of my family to make me feel pretty. He could always make anyone laugh. He would always do anything for anyone.
Most of us already know this, but Jon's death is proof that the good die young. Jon wanted to make a difference in the world and he did in more ways than he knew. The world won't be the same without him.
To Candice, the Summers family, and everyone mourning the loss of such a great man we can only take comfort in knowing that we were lucky enough to get to be a part of Jon's life.

JJ,
It has taken me a couple of weeks to gather my emotions. It is an honor to have you as a younger brother. Though we didn't always see eye to eye I always knew that you loved me and I know that you knew I loved you. I hear your voice during the day yet I know that you are not there. I miss you more than you can imagine yet grateful for the time we had together. Whether it was going to Galoon or coaching your little league foorball team it was a privelige to call you brother. As those that mourn your passing I long for the day to see you once more. Have fun with Mom and Dad and have an eclair for me. I love you Bro.

Candice,
Today is the 99th anniversary of your Grandpa birth. He's been gone now 11 1/2 years. I've been waiting for this day to write my entry in Jon's guest book.
The following poem was written by an English solider in World War 1 before he died -
Do not stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there...
I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints upon the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the soft uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the stars that shine at night,
Do not stand by my grave and cry...
I am not there,
I did not die.
I hope this beautiful thought comforts you the way it does me.
I love you and I love Jon. I consider him my son and my heart is broken with the earthly loss of this dear young man.
Jon's spirit will never leave us. He will never be forgotten by any who knew him.
Love, Dad

Dear Summers,
Are family is sorry to hear of Jon's passing. We had so much fun growing up with Jon, Josh and Danny. I can remember a funny story about Jon on our trip home from Yubba Lake. We had some of the best youth outings because of the summer boys. They always knew how to make you laugh. The last time we saw you guys was at Brad's wedding. I hope the rest of you are doing well.
Sincerely,
Jackie Shober

My Beloved Brother. Throughout the good times and the many many hard times you were there for me. I am who I am because of Jon's love, generosity, spirit, and knowledge. I will always be singing Bro Hymn and envisioning his wonderful smile. Jon is my best friend, my brother, my bubs! Why do we Summers siblings continue on after experienceing loss after loss? I don't know and wish I did. I do know that I could not carry on without all the things Jon showed me, taught me, influenced me, and gave me. Jonny, I love you! Till we meet again.

Jon's spirit and good heart touched everyone around him. His Father called him home and knowing that and having the faith that this isn't the end...doesn't spare his family the heart ache of loss but will someday provide them the peace they need to go on without him here on earth until they meet again. My heartfelt condolences, prayers and love to the Summers and Bringhurst Families.

Jon was an exceptional person who truly cared for and loved everyone he met. I will forever remember fond memories of our childhood and the good times we shared. He made me laugh, cry, sing the Doors at the top of my lungs, giggle and now weep. I miss him more than I think he ever thought I would and there is so much I would do differently with our time together. Jon I love you! I long for our reunion and try and keep an eye on all of us until we met again, dear brother.

Jon was my best friend for 27 years and I am glad that i was able to have that time with him. I will miss him more than anyone will ever know. I am truly saddened and heart broken. I will forever be a better person because of my older brother Jonny and all that he did for me when I was at the lowest point in my life. He was one of the greatest people on the face of this planet.

Jon will always be the love of my life and soulmate. He had so many great qualities it's too hard to name them all. I will miss him so much every second of the day. I will miss how I just fit into the 'nook' under his arms and how safe that made me feel. Jon truly put himself last, he took care of me each day and made sure that I felt ok before taking care of himself. I am going to try and be more like Jon each day because he touched everyone's life in such a positive way that I will always admire about him. I wear his wedding band around my neck and his spirit in my heart. I am just happy that Jon is out of pain and with his parents again. I can't wait to see my loving husband again. Thank you all for your loving support!

Loss leaves a heartache no one can heal but love leaves a memory that no one can steal...Candice, you have touched my life more than you would ever know. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers....and Jon this is for you, your smile and laughter will be greatly missed, with lots of love.....God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His garden must be beautiful he always takes the best. He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes. He whispered to you "Come home my son" and gave you wings to fly. You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide. You will live on through your family, you are always by our side. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

I remember Jon as a little boy and how his mother adored him. Steve worked for my husband Stephen Blaser and we would go out with him and claudia all the time. I loved them both and were so sad for their children to be left without such great people in their daily lives. I cry as I write this knowing as a mother and now grandmother how hard death is on all of those remaining. I lost my son 5 years ago and the pain is still raw. I know with all my heart that it is not painful to those who are gone. Their lives are filled with joy and perspective that we are unable in our finite eyes to see. We love you all and remember you to be conformted in your loss. Sincerely Earlene Blaser

I'm sorry for your great lost. I will alway remember the day I came back to work after Melissa's sister passed away and my best friend was still in the hospital. Jon could tell that I was having a hard time. He didn't have to say anything to me. He just put his arm over my shoulder. Which is just what I needed at that point in time. He had this way of reading people and knowing just what they needed. I will miss him and the way he could always make me laugh. I know this is an incredibley hard time for your family. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you. With all my love Jim

Jon was always such a great friend to me. I was so shocked and saddened by the news of his passing. Even though I haven't seen Jon since high school, I still remember his wonderful personality and all the fun times we had. I know the Summers family has already experienced so much loss in the past. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Candice as you deal with life without Jon. May you find comfort and strength in each other.

The loss of Jon causes so much pain for so many. Moments remembered will get us through, one day at a time, as the memories become more and more cherished.
Remembering the smiles, concern and tears you shared with me during a time of great loss in my life. Projects with Jon and Dan made work more enjoyable ~ Working with Brad very rewarding. Thanks to each of you.

My heart was broken when I heard the news. So much tragedy in one loving close family. Our family will always remember the close ties with Claudia and Steve and our time playing softball as families together. I was very sad to not be able to attend the services as I was in New York when I learned of Jon's passing. I am sure Jon is having a wonderful time now with his parents and I am sure he realizes just how much he was loved. For those left behind to struggle with the day to day lose, please know my thought and prayers are with you. May God watch over and protect you.

We only had the opportunity to meet Jon a few times, but his wit and charm really left an impression. Infact, the first time I met Jon and Candice, I though to myself "I definitely could hang out with these two"...Tragically, we will not have any more of those opportunities. Our hearts go out to all of those who loved Jon. He was a great man.

Oh goodness, it has been a long time since we last met. I believe it was that time I fell down the stairs at work and took you down with me. You were so great and helpful when I was feeling embarassed while the medics loaded me onto the board. I will never forget your guidance, my first supervisor that I had with the company. You would always say hello with a smile on your face and I really missed that. Thanks for helping me get my foot in the door and being a great person. You will be missed and my heart goes out to your family during this difficult time.

I have such fond memories with the "Summers Boys", I am so very sorry for your loss.
You boys were the welcoming committee into the tightly knit "family" of friends I inherited when I married Steve, and I will never forget Jon's kindness to me. He was so warm & funny and always made me feel welcome in his & Candice's home.
Steve & I love & miss you dearly.

How blest we have been to have had such an amazing person in our lives. Many people go their whole life without ever having the opportunity to have know someone like Jon. How lucky we are to have had that joy! Jon’s beaming smile and his magnetic personality will greatly be missed by all who had the pleasure and privilege to know him. How fortunate we are to know that we are only hidden from his presence for a short while. I love you guys! And I love you Jon!
Heather Kopp

While it's been some time since I've seen or worked with Jon I still remember when he joked with me about the pain of childbearing. Even amongst his own physical pain he made people smile. I still hear comments comparing who has more people working at VZW, the "Summers" or the "Sisters". It was a pleasure to know you Jon, my best wishes to you and your family. While the right words to console the Summers and Bringhurst family can surely not be found, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

The debates about who had the better dynasty (Patriots or 49ers) and driving in the Maxima blasting 311 with summs singing every word of "Down" right in my ear with a big smile on his face. You will be sorely missed Jon. You are forever my brother...

Jonny Gun,
I wish that I could have had the chance to say goodbye and I know that I should have said hello a lot more the past few years. A lot of the best memories of my life occurred with you by my side and I am saddened to know that it will be a while before we create some more. You exemplified resillience, determination, and passion and will forever be missed and remembered by all of your friends. You and your brothers always looked after and defended my brother Nate like he was one of your own. He asks about all of you everytime that I see him. Thank you for making me a better person and for sharing so much of your life with me. I will think about you everyday and I anxiously await seeing you and your mom and dad again.
I love you bud,

It's with deep sorrow and sadness that I write this. Candice, Brad, Josh, Lisa and Danny, my heart goes out to you and your family. The loss of Jon is beyond words, so please allow me to speak briefly about my memories of Jon which trace back to youth in Mesa, Arizona where we were in cub scouts together and his mother Claudia was our den mother. I consider it a great blessing and honor to have crossed paths with Jon again as an adult. Unquestionably one of the most charismatic individuals I have ever known, Jon was truly a remarkable person and an all around great guy. Everyone liked, and liked to be around Jon; he possessed that unique personality trait that made those around him smile. While this is a hard time for all whose who knew and loved Jon, the remarkable part is Jon will still make you smile; you can't help do it when you think of Jon. My condolences go out to Candice and the Summers family - you will all be in my prayers.

Dear Summers Family:
We want to send our love, condolences, and support at Jon's passing. He was a wonderfully charismatic man with a kind soul. Jon is stuck in my memory as a loving cousin who was bright, happy, and funny. I know you will miss him very much, but the eternal reality is that the separation will be brief and the reunion wonderful. May you feel the peace and assurance of the Gospel at this tender time and in the coming weeks, months, and years. We love you.

Whether it was resolving conflict, giving posetive feedback, or just asking to borrow a pen, Jon performed all actions with a genuine kindness that is very difficult to come by in our day. I was personally touched by Jon in many ways and will keep his memory with me for all of my days. He was truely an inspiration of love, kindness, forgiveness and friendship. My prayers go out to the family as well as to all that knew him, that we not allow his memory to pass, but be better every day for having known him.

Totally unbelievable! I have been on vacation for 9 days and when I returned today, there was a copy of Jon's obituary on my desk. (Thanks to my secretary for making sure that I knew right away) I am speechless, almost empty feeling. I have been the Alstate Insurance Agent for the Summers family for over 3 years and I must say that Candice is one of my most positive clients. Even when things are not so grand, she and I have been able to look on the bright side of things. I truly wish Candice the best and hope that you may be comforted in this time of loss.

Thinking back through my childhood memories, Jon, Josh and Danny are very prominant characters. Whether it was skateboarding or just hanging out as the sun went down, Jon always had a wonderful spirit about him and could make you appreciate the world around us. It's been years since I've seen any of the Summers' family, but my thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.

Dear Brad and Family~
I cannot express enough how sorry I am to hear about the loss of Jon. I think back to when I met Jon in Arizona for the first time; he had such a magnetism about him that people were truly drawn to. (Not to mention his unbelievable resemblance to Ben Affleck that made all the Ladies Coo! Something tells me he may have enjoyed that a little.) I vividly remember the very first time I met Jon in Az, he was all smiles and was so friendly. Jon always welcomed me with opened arms and made me feel so comfortable. I can still hear him say “Hi Sweetie!” as he kisses my cheek. Jon and Candice opened their arms to me when I first moved to Utah; I will always be grateful for the friendship and love they had shown. We spent many fun holidays together, Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July! I remember when I first met my husband; Jon and Candice invited us over for Thanksgiving and I told him “You have to meet my extended family!” Where has the time gone? My heart hurts for you and your family, I will always remember Jon’s smile, his humor and all the fun we had together. Brad, you have been such a positive influence in my life it saddens me deeply to know you are going through such hurt. I wish you all the strength to get through this time and hope you, your brothers, Candice and Susie feel some uplift from the abundance of love that continues to present itself for Jon. It is that LOVE that will help you all get through this. Thank you Jon for all the good times and love, my memories of you will be cherished and your smile will be sincerely missed.

I loved Jon as a true brother. I will miss his most sincere heart, and the way he made everyone happy, even at the hardest of times. I feel most honored to be a part of this family, and a friend to him. I miss him greatly, and will always remember him as a wonderful man that made my "other" sister so happy. And lit up the room at all the family gatherings. It wont be the same, but he will always be with us.

There are so many instances in my childhood that I will never forget with Jon. Like going camping and Jon not bringing a sleeping bag. Or trying to break 2x4's by jumping on them in their garage. He taught me that the name Jon doesn't always have an "h." I had many great and memorable times with Jon and with the rest of the Summers family. It has been years since we have been in contact, but I have never forgotten. I will be thinking about them during this time.
Kyla Graham

Jon was the kind of person that could say hello to you in a crowded room and make you feel as though you were the only one there. True sincerity is hard to come by, and he was a natural. Rest in peace my friend. To Candice and the Summers family, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can't express how I feel, so please know that in my heart I am thinking of you.
Brother, Thank you for being in my life!

To Brad & Lisa and the rest of the Summers Family ~
I was overwhelmed hearing of the loss of Jon. I enjoyed knowing him from the early days of renting videos at BBV, and working with him for a while at VZW. He will be forever remembered and missed!
You can't know any member of the Summers family without loving them. I think the world of you all, and my prayers and deep feelings of love and sympathy are extended to you always, but especially at this difficult time.
Know of the love and respect that so many have and feel toward you.

There is a qoute that aptly describes Jon: "What we do for ourselves stays with us, what we do for others, stays in the world forever." Jon, you are my brother. I would do anything for you. I know you are in a better place, but for selfish reasons, I really wish you were here. My heart hurts. I will always love you so very much. I will watch over Candice, I promise you. I will miss your grin, your laugh, your "King of Queens" quotes, seeing you at "your" dining room table chair at the parent's house. I will never forget the time you held my hand as the nurses wheeled me to my hospital room after I had a mastectomy and found out I did have cancer; you telling me how beautiful I was. I will never forget you. Thank you for loving Candice, and in return loving me and all of the Bringhurst's. You are one of a kind; a very special one.
Until we meet again, my beloved brother,
~Becky

Jon was a great friend and a wonderful brother in-law. He will be deeply missed by me. Both Candice and Jon helped Becky and I when we were married and Jon was always there to support and help us through anything. Jon had a heart of gold and will be missed for the rest of my life. Jon was taken before his time. He will always be remembered and loved. I know we will meet again but until then life will be bittersweet. I miss you.

I knew Jon from my little brother, Joey. Jon was a great guy! Put a smile on your face as soon as you saw him. He was a permandent fixture in the "Larsen" household for a while. We will all miss you!

When I first met Jon I could tell that there was something special about him. He amazed me with his quick wit. He was the kind of person you just naturally felt comfortable around. When I remember him, it will be with a smile.

To lay to rest a friend, a loved one, a special person is not easy, to say goodbye is always difficult. I will hold tight the knowledge that I met him and laughed with him. With sadness I say goodbye to one of a kind, one that broke the mold. May the memories be strong with those he left behind, and may his stories continue on for years to come. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

I was fortunate enough to get to know Jon, Josh, and Danny after the passing of their parents as they spent a lot of time with my family. I remember Jon being playful and fun to be around, and being a great brother. I will miss him, and send my deepest sympathy to Candice, Brad, Lisa, Josh, Danny, and the rest of his family.

It's been so long since I've seen Jon but, I will never forget his humor and the way he could immediately put a smile on your face. I can picture him smiling down from heaven. I have missed all of my old high school friends but, the way I will miss Jon now has a whole new meaning. Candace, I never met you but, I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband was a wonderful person. Please know that my thoughts are with you. Jon, until we see you again...

Jon was an amazing person. He had love for everyone, he was caring and sincere with everyone he interacted with. There are no words to describe how wonderful you were as a person, friend and a peer. May God give strength to the Summers’ family for their loss.
