Kerri, Sam, Monica, Kolby and Brody,... Jon was such an interesting guy. I saw him at Church and worked with him on Christmas plays. He was very talented and always made his characters bigger than life. I am so thankful that I knew him. He will be sorely missed by everyone at Church. He will always be in the hearts of those that knew him and, especially, those that were part of his family. I know how much he loved you, Kerri, and Sam, Monica, Kolby and Brody. My grandson, Jax, was initially upset (the loss he felt). Then, that changed to how he knew you all must be feeling. You all are in our hearts and in our prayers. We love you, Nellie Hoskins and family

My thoughts and prayers are with Kerri, Jon's children, Patty and Jennifer. I had the privilege of living across the street from Jon and spent most of my childhood days playing in the neighborhood with him. My grandmother and mom both thought the world of him and my mom even thought of him as a second son. I will always cherish the memories of Jon and the stories about Jon from others. Jon will be very missed!

I had the privilege of knowing Jon for a little over a year through my work. Some of the best traits that stand out in my mind were Jon's laughter and smile. Every time I spoke to Jon he would always have such a positive attitude, would shake your hand, and greet you with a smile. My prayers go out to the family and friends.

Sincerely,

Jacob Hughes

I've known Jon since we were in grade school. I had the pleasure of seeing Pearl Jam and Metallica with Jon. I was also lucky to attend a Chiefs game with him. At that game he wore a full headdress, had his face painted and of course was totally clad in Chief's gear. He wasn't very pleased with me because all I had was a Chief's hat. I had to purchase a shirt at the game to get more inline with the program. He taught me what being a fan of a sports team really means.

I'll never forget the hide and seek game we played in the neighborhood on W Forest on summer nights. You could hear Jon yell and laugh from a mile away. He was always on the lookout for the prowler.

We spent many days and nights fishing at Lakeside park. On one occasion, during the fishing derby while fishing for Moby Dick Horton, the giant catfish, Jon thought he hooked him. Something had his line and he was yelling and screaming that he had Moby Dick. "I got him...I've got Moby Dick!" At about the same time, a guy on the other side of the lake set his hook and thought he had a big fish on as well. It didn't take long to realize that Jon and the guy across the lake had hooked into each other. We had a pretty good laugh about that one.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kerri, his kids and the rest of the family. I'll know that we will all miss Jon very much.
