I Had the honor to work with Jon at Camp Sweyolakan for two summers. His interaction with the campers and the staff was always courteous, polite, and he had a blast. He also played the flute with Grace, elegance and beauty. He will be missed. Miss BJ 89,90 ,92.

We were so saddened to learn about Jonathan. We saw him often at the club and thought the world of him. He was such a character and we loved visiting with him. We lost touch a few years ago but often thought of him and wondered what he was up to. I cannot express my shock of learning of his passing. Much love and respect to his family....he will always be remembered with such joy.

I´m so sorry to hear of Jon´s passing. This is such difficult news to hear and process. I knew Jon as Mr. Jon at Camp Sweyolakan and his sense of humor, heart and musical genius entertained all but especially a small group of us who loved to sing. I´ve tried to find Jon for many years- asking around and looking on the internet. I saw him once walking many years ago... so I knew he was around. He will not be forgotten- in fact he never has been. Wished for many years to laugh with him and sing with him... reconnect him to staff who loved him deeply. Jenny, Kimmer, Becky, Neil, Pam...and so many more... we all adored him. He would arrange intricate harmonies in his head and teach our parts to us as we practiced. He was gifted beyond words and loved very much. Deepest condolences to his family during this time.

I have sadly been out of touch with Jon for so many years after moving to Texas, but have thought about him often and tried to locate him online SO many times with no luck. I tried again today and have stumbled upon this sad news. We were such good friends in college, and I have so many fond memories of the laughs and struggles of that age with my best friend Jon. I'm still digesting the fact that I missed my opportunity to see him again, but want his family to know my thoughts are with all of them. I send warm thoughts from Portland.

I am so sorry to hear about Jon. From church and youth group, to college, and seeing Jon at the club when Rick and I were getting married, he was always the kindest and most fun to be around. Rick and I speak about him often. I will miss his loving heart ang beautiful soul. So sorry you are going through this. Much love to you both.

Long rides on the school bus together, beautiful music at my wedding, and partners in crime at the Buckhorn in Airway Heights. So sad to hear the news. You will be missed.
