    Jon was a good climbing partner, friend and great company. We shared adventures all over Arizona’s rocks. I will carry his smile with me on some adventures in his name. Jon was always up for new challenges and I will miss him even more. RIP amigo.

    Your were a great example as to how a friendly attitude can coexist with such a sharp mind. Why the early exit for such a great human? Rest In Peace Jon with one “n”.

    My dear cousin-
    Two years have gone by and for me it hasn’t gotten easier, yet. I miss you greatly. I miss just chatting with you. That’s the thing, we may all be spread far apart but there’s always a chance to chat. I know we still chat, just not in the same way. See the hardest is Christmas because all of us were always together since we were kids. I’d wish for one more Christmas with all of us together, one more picture, one more story, one more hug & I love you. I hope you are no longer in pain & climbing all the mountains you never got to. Love you much! -me

    Jon, my heart broke when I heard the news. You were a great friend. You accepted everyone. It just dawned on me that both you and Shelly are gone. We had an amazing time in Indian Creek. You were so much fun to be around you introduced my to Ali G and I never hear George Thorogood without thinking of our trip to Tahquitz. I miss you my friend… RESPECK!!! FOR REALS…
