Jonathan Voss Obituary
Born: April 25, 1969
Died: November 9, 2024
Jonathan Vern Voss was born April 25, 1969 in Morrison, Illinois. He passed away November 9, 2024, after a brief stay at Cornerstone Hospice, in The Villages, Florida.
During his early childhood, the Voss family was farming in Lanark, Illinois, where Jon loved to be outside with his dad and older brother Jeff, driving the John Deere tractors and helping with the cattle. Jon and his siblings participated in 4-H, and showed calves at the county fair. In those years, Jon and Jeff had a champion steer that was shown at the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.
The family moved to Garden Plain, Illinois, and Jon attended Fulton High School, where he excelled at all sports, but especially football, where he broke records as a running back. He was also an excellent trombone player. After graduation, he continued farming with his dad and brother for many years.
Eventually, Jon moved to South Dakota, where he owned a ranch, and had a large herd of Angus breeding cattle for many years.
Jon moved to Mission, Texas, to be closer to his parents, and was a dedicated caregiver to his dad. Jon spent his last years in Florida, to be close to family, and to care for his mom.
Jon is survived by his mom, Priscilla Voss, of Wildwood, Florida, his brother Jeff of Elizabeth, Illinois, and his sisters Jill Voss and Jackie (Jay) Lansing, both of The Villages, Florida. Jon was preceded in death by his dad, Vernon.

May you rest in Peace Jon! Gone too soon but what a life! So much done in such a short time. Definitely not a straight line nor without trials and tribulations. But He Was a Visionary and courageous and had guts and grit like few I have ever met. He loved ranching and beautiful cows, stunning sunsets, the speed of a fast four wheeler, and a good stiff drink. He could see beauty even through pain and feel what you were feeling before you said anything at all. He was intuitive and thoughtful, tolerant and patient, hardworking, smart, and stubborn. His laugh was contagious and reverberating. He was faithful and family oriented at heart, soft spoken but said a lot in very few words. thoughtful and kind but tough and fun loving. He loved LIfe and all things Beautiful--Birds and trees and books and all things beautiful...and the Joy of Life.
May you rest in peace my dear friend and I pray we will see each other again someday!
With gratitude for having known you
Candice

This is so sad. Jon and I were friends in high school. He was such a kind guy. I never knew where he had moved to and wished I could have talked with him again. Gone too soon RIP

I Coached Jonathan in little league baseball. During a game, after me yelling at the kids to make the right play. He said "you know coach this isn´t the World Series!" I guess sometimes little kids words are just what we need to hear! This still applies to us today .
