A kind person helping everyone that needed help. A great mentor to children. The neighborhood was fortunate to have him close by. He will be missed greatly by my family. R.I.P.

Jon was so good to Daniel and me when we owned the farm next to his. He was helpful with our bison when we needed it and especially helpful to me after Daniel passed. I will always remember his kindness, and his generosity with his time and knowledge.
