I knew Jon since we went to school together. We used to be an item. I love him so much. He never deserved what happened. I know he has a lot of people who care about him just as much as I do. I love you Jon, always and forever.
THOUGTHS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU GUYS DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. I PERSONALLY DON’T KNOW HIM BUT I HAVE CHILDREN OF MY OWN AND IT’S HARD TO SEE SUCH A YOUNG PERSON LEAVE THIS EARTH IN SUCH A BAD WAY.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m sorry for your loss. Jon and I talked every other day. I miss him, too. I’m a good listener if you need an ear.. 🙂
With love and the utmost respect. My heart and prayers are with you all.
Jon, you’ll always be missed.
Always N Forever,
Chelsea
