Jon was a student at ACS while I served as principal. I remember Jon as a young man who was his own man and didn’t succumb to pressure to the follow the herd mentality. Jon displayed maturity and character beyond his years. To me he was the ideal student as he was inquisitive, well-mannered and a genuine person. He was a student you could look at and say – “He’s going to make it … he’s got the right stuff.” As always, I was shocked to hear of the passing of one of my students.
With deepest sympathy to friends and family.

I was saddened to learn of your loss. It grieves one so much to have someone so young lost to your world. I can not say anything that will change that feeling now, but know that all of you will be consoled in the future by a much higher power and that Jon will be there helping with that consolation.
