Jon 1993-2016

As Jon offered to do for my grandma I will now do for him. RIP... "At least [he] isn't suffering anymore."

 

I've known Jon since 2011, back when I was a DD host beside him. I won't pretend we were the closest of friends, because we were not, but we spoke at quite a length a couple months ago on discord for the first time in ages. We reminisced about old times, caught up and shot the shit for hours. It pains me to say that was the last conversation I ever had with him, but I'm glad it both started and ended on a positive note.

Rest in peace Jon, and may your legacy live on.

 

I'm honestly at a loss for words, first time losing someone I consider a friend and hopefully the last time for a very long time, although we didn't know each other in real life we may as well have.

Rest in peace Jon, knowing you i'm sure that you stayed positive till the end.

 

Rest in peace Sportjon22 <3

 

crushed to hear the news, jon was a great friend and truly a strong soul. wishing the best for his family, friends, and loved ones.

may jon persist in memory as a kind and thoughtful person taken far, far too soon.

 

I really don't know what to say. It was just this morning I was told he was in the ICU at Sloan Kettering fighting again. I didn't think I would see him passing so soon. We spoke on numerous occasions with one another and he tried to help out with all kinds of things. Jon had a really pure heart and a truly caring mind. I'm deeply saddened by the fact I'll never get to speak with you again in this life, but know you're in a better place now and there's no need to fight anymore. Thank you for being a kind soul and helping all the people you interacted with. Rest in peace Jon.

 

Rest in peace Jon. Hope you're staying high up there in the clouds puffin' with god.

 

I knew Jon very well. He was an amazing person and always willing to help me with anything regardless of how busy he was. Jon was always a positive person and was always a great friend. Around a month ago he stopped coming on ts and that's when I started to worry. Jon's always been a super positive person and an awesome guy. He'll be deeply missed.

 

Very saddened and shocked to hear this. He's always been one to help others from the time I met him, albeit not very long ago. We not only lose a great member, but also a great person with a big heart. RIP

 

Rest in Peace Jon, still remember when you helped me out with my Oakdice ban report, how you've been there for the whole community.


Will be remembered.

 

Jon joined my teamspeak one time, we've done business before and have had complications. I hardly knew him, but I was fed information by friends about his medical status. When I first heard his voice you could hear the compassion in it - he was 100% fixated on working out the problems I was having with his server. I wish I had spoke to him more.

I'm very sorry for Sythe as we have lost a great member, but my heart goes out to his family. No one should have to go through this - especially someone like Jon. May he rest easy.

 

I had only just met Jon in March when buying a VPS for the first time. He was so kind and helpful when selling to me. He would take his time to answer everyone of my questions and never complain about providing support. He was very talented at what he did and spent hours helping me setup and assisting in every way possible. It's such a shame to see awful things like this happen to people who are so nice. The Sythe community will always remember you, as you were one of the few that would put the customer in front of the profit. I'll keep your family in my prayers and I'm sure you are in a better place now and the suffering you have been going through is over. You will be deeply missed by the community. Thanks for all that you have done for us.

 

I didn't talk to Jon much but when I did he was always extremely compassionate and ready to help no matter what he was going through. Jon was one of the nicest and most respectable sythe members I have ever talked to. Rest In Peace.

 

I'm incredibly saddened to hear this news. I never knew him personally, however he was somebody I noticed throughout the forum over the years and always thought he would be someone others would look up to.

My thoughts and best wishes are with the family in this difficult time.

 

Jon was the most helpful and selfless guy you'll ever meet. I'm pretty sure he was a tech support for nearly all websites on this forum. He was really positive and funny, even when he was going through things that would make the average person bitter and angry.

The community has lost a great member. Hopefully we can all learn from you and put others first more often, just as you did with us. Rest in peace man

 

Damn, my cousin created avatar for him few weeks ago, he was so happy about it. Rest in peace

 

Hearing this tragic news is really saddening. I didn't know Jon personally, but through how Bert spoke of him and through reading his Chai Lifeline campaign story, he seemed a wonderful, strong and inspirational lad. My only wish was if I could of been in the teamspeak more often to have known him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, you no longer have to suffer and you're in a better place now. ♥

 

Gut wrenching news to come home to. One of the best guys i've ever met, always fighting because he knew he wasn't done with his dreams and aspirations. Had planned to bring Jon to a concert in August before these past two months transpired. Even though we weren't close until the beginning of 2016, felt like a brother i've known for my entire life. Deeply sickening that this outcome. Fly high Jon.

 

It's crazy to see the scale at which Jon effected each of our lives individually dedicating his own time helping us with our problems and supporting us in every way he could. He was someone who always put others above himself. He would often put all else aside to hear your problem or thought and provide any insight he had on the situation. The way he carried himself even with the burden of the terrible disease is a mentality I hope to carry for the rest of my life. I think those who had the opportunity to meet Jon were extremely lucky and I think as a community we were lucky to have him fight so hard for so long. I can't believe he's gone I'll miss him dearly but at least he isn't suffering.

He was a mentor, a friend and an overall joy to everyone around him. RIP Jon.
