My dear sweet family, Stacey, Hunter and Mason, your place in my heart is tender and hurting. I am praying for comfort in this extremely sorrow filled time of Jon's passing. I love you all so much. You and all your families' acceptance of Jon's death will be a long struggle to realize. Please know that I loved my Jon and will continue keeping you close in my heart and prayers. With greatest sympathy, Aunt Linda
Mr. & Mrs. Leon Shimer, I am so very sorry for family's loss,
Enter the Happy Hunting Ground, John, where it's always season and the weather is fine.
Take care, buddy.

Jon will always be special to Uncle Keith and his Favorite Aunt Kathy!
His happy place was always in the woods hunting.
He had a kind heart and was a friend to everyone.
Every Florida visit two times a year was planned around spring and fall gobbler hunting so Keith could ultimately get his bird. Many times we brought it home on the airplane, wrapped in news paper and tape. I can only image what people thought when it was going thru security. It always made it safe and sound maybe a little defrosted but still edible. Good times were had at the Camp, too many to point out a special one.
Prayers for Stacey, Hunter, Mason, Leon, Shianne and Leigh Anne and his extended family. May you all find peace that he is no longer in pain and know that he has found his hunting area in Heaven and is scoping it out. Hope they have Osceola Turkeys in Heaven. Will miss your laugh and semi-smile!
Love you Jon
Your Favorite Aunt Kathy
( I might add I was his only Aunt Kathy)
