Jon was born Nov. 25, 1966 in Akron, Ohio and passed away June 1, 2017. He graduated from Western Reserve Academy and Kent State University. He mastered the art of acceptance with grace and dignity while living with MS for 31 years. His intelligence, sense of humor and caring about other people were his essence and made him much loved by those who knew him. He was an avid sports fan and muscle car lover. During an MS remission, he owned and drove a 2003 Mustang. Music soothed his soul.
