Jon was a dear friend (as well as Julie) I now live in Las Vegas but while in Utah I was in the same ward. I became a member of the church in 2004 and was ordained an Elder in 2004. My first calling was into High Priest Group mostly because of my age I was 54 yrs old now 73. What a shock to be called among men that had been members of the church for so many years.My very first calling was into that as a secretary and spent a number of years in that calling. After just a few years I was ordained a High Priest and was ordained by Jon. After our weekly meetings Jon and Floyd Guymon spent many hours answering my questions and providing me with a strong commitment to our Lord. I. was able to become very close to Jon and Julie over the years and we have spoken often since I had moved to Nevada in 2013. I loved Jon dearly yes with his sarcasm and wit (which I admired) he was one of my dearest friends. I am sure he was welcomed by the Lord with open arms. I know he will be missed by all that had the opportunity to get to know him. Julie I love you dearly and have great sorrow in his passing but know he is with his Heavenly Father. Ray Punta
Jon was a man amongst men. His knowledge and his wit were only surpassed by his mischievous grin. He was a mentor in my life. Jon is the reason I am who I am today. We love you Jon and Julie. I’m trying to fill the hole in my heart with the many sweet memories from the last 10 years of my life. Rest in peace until we renew our friendship on the other side.
