Jon graduated from St. Catherine of Siena and Archbishop Rummel High School, class of 2001. JD loved rock climbing, thanks to Fr. Jimmy Jeanfreau who introduced him many years ago while an alter server. On many weeknights and weekends, Jon was at Climax doing his thing. For a short while, he lived in Fort Collins, Colorado working and climbing. His mom called him her "little free bird hippie". He had the most beautiful eyes and loving spirit. He loved fishing with his Uncle Tommy and brother-in-law, Daryl. JD worked at Corass Electric for over 15 years as an electrician helper. JD and Daryl worked beside each other every day. Jon will be missed by his buddy, Daryl, as well as other family and friends.
The family would like to thank the Trauma ICU team at University Medical Center for all their help, love, and support and to the EMT team who was right there during the accident. Thank you all.
They would also like to thank their neighborhood family for their love and support.
