I have so many memories of this incredible young man and I have a hard time believing it has been so long.
On Fridays we would order fish fries, and my now wife, would pick them up and we would have them @ lunch time (second shift). My wife always called Jon "fish man" because of that.
He also taught me how to change my own brakes. Another time I was trying to replace a bad wheel bearing, before work (bad idea), and could not get it to brake free. I called Jon who said "You've got to hit it!" I replied "I did." HIT IT HARDER!!!!" was his response. I did, it broke free, and I made it work on time.
Rest easy old friend, you live on in my memory.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as the comfort found in God’s word the bible. In the face of such tragedy, many wonder why God allows such suffering. In the bible, Romans 5:12 says, "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away
Grateful for having the opportunity to have known you. You was blessed in so many ways, and appreciated. You will be missed Jonathan.
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts ache in sadness and secret tears flow what it meant to lose you no one can ever know...Jonathan, you will always be in our heart, we will cherish all our memories forever... Love you...
You are not forgotten loved one, Nor will you ever be, As long as life and memory last, We will remember thee.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Jon, I seriously don't know where to begin. When I heard it was you who was killed my heart sank and broke to a million pieces all over again. It's been years since we were lovers but you will always be my first. I wish I could talk to you again and smooth out the bad blood we left between us. I'll see you again in the next life. Don't worry that Nickelback song you used to torture me with will always make me think of us in those early days. ~Nikki
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Dear: Jonathan
When I first introduced to you I know you were the one... thanks to Justin the match maker... lol.. I remember when we had our first kiss, our first late night rides, our first miss babe text, where it took you forever to change your Facebook relationship status lol... and to the time I told you, alex and josh about my fear of the loch Ness monster... lol however you did get me in the water... lol and our first break up... I still have so much to say to you and ask you.. however at this time I have to wait until I can see you again.. I miss you soooo much but whether you know it or not you have made me a much stronger person then I was before.. And I'm glad to have had you and your family in my life... And im super happy to have had you as my boyfriend and as a friend... I must say this pain hurts like hell and I dont think I can get a cherry shake from kipps without thinking about you... I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BEYOND
John, Carol, Josh... I am truly sorry to hear about Jonathon. Hard to believe this is real. My heart goes out to each of you. I remember when the boys would come over all the time. I wish we would have kept in touch when you moved. I can't even imagine the heartache you are all going through.
Words can not express the heartache that you and your family are going through at this time. My Sincere Sympathy to you Carol, in the loss of your son. Know you are in my prayers, dear cousin.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Jonathon was a man with the kindest heart and soul. He was such a beautiful person. He touched so many lives and will truely be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family..... No words can express the sympathy we are feeling! Sending love to all of you.....
Things will never be the same, but everyday we will prosper and strive to be just as great of a person as you are. Teach your nephew everything about you, he loves you so much. Your his my my guy! ❤️ I could have never imagined another brother/brother in law as sweet and kind hearted as you. Until we meet again.
My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
John I don't know where to start. There's so much I can say and talk about. You are my brother without a doubt. It's not blood that makes us family or not, it's the Loyalty, Respect, and Love that we have for one another that makes us brothers. You were my go to for every situation, anything I was confused on, needed help with, didn't know how to do it, needed someone to talk to EVERYTHING. There wasn't a day that went by that we weren't seen together. You knew you could call on me just as I know I could call on you.
Just know I Love You bro and I will never forget about our memories and all that you have done, not only for me, but for my wife, my family, and my kids.
UNTIL WE RIDE AGAIN.
John, you were my right hand man for anything and everything! I love you and you'll be missed by our family dearly!!
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
