Donna, Dusty, Casey, Joy and Jill,
You all are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope you find strength in each other, hope in knowing Jon is at peace and faith the hand of Jon will welcome you home again someday. Our hearts, like yours, are deeply saddened. So many great, funny family memories we will cherish. Man, Jon could hit a softball a mile. We all backed up about 100 yards when Jonnie came up to bat at Fryling Family reunions. Then whack, and over our heads it went. His smile, priceless. Love to you all at this most difficult time.
Some of my best childhood memories were of hanging out with Jonny and having adventures together. I so saddened at his loss and for Donna and the boys. Rest well, cousin.
Donna, Casey, Dusty, and Family-
I’m so sorry to hear of Jon’s passing! I have a lot of great memories out at the farmhouse when us kids were in middle school. Jon was always smiling and making us laugh. My prayers to you all!

I’m so sorry for your loss Donna. My prayers 🙏 are with you and your family.
Donna,
When i heard of Jon’s passing my heart was so heavy. I am sorry for your loss. I know you are a woman of faith, and that faith will sustain you in the days of grieving and healing ahead. Thank you for being an effective witness before your family and friends through the years. I rejoice that Pastor Keefer was able to lead Jon to faith in the same Jesus you know and love. My prayers will be lifted up for you and your family in the coming days!
So sad to hear about Jon. My mom and dad always enjoyed having Jon’s help balling straw. He was a very nice guy.
It was my privilege to know John for several years, both as a friend and a treasured customer in my metal detector shop. He was indeed a treasure hunter for fun, but a real treasure to anyone who knew him. My prayers go out in Thanksgiving to our most Holy God for the privilege to know him! And I pray for strength and peace to his loved ones. I am deeply sorry and saddened by your loss.
I’m so very sorry Donna and family, praying for you
Donna, Sincere condolences to you and your family. Faithful prayers will continue for God’s comfort and peace at this time. Allen and Kim Lammott
Donna and family, very sorry to hear of Jon’s passing, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Jon was one of the kindest guys I’ve known, with an extra side of humor! My heart goes out to you Donna and family.
Love you so much.
I am saddened to hear of Jon’s death. I was a friend of his dad and have known Jon Jr. for many years. Jon was a highly respected staff member of the St. Joe County road commission and an all-round good man. To his family, please accept my most sincere condolences. He was taken way too soon but will be respected and remembered by all who knew him.
Very sorry and sad to hear of Jon’s passing. I spent a lot of time with him growing up and going to school with him. He’d help us bailing hay in the summer, was a hard worker and he was fun to be around when we were “all hanging out with the usual crowd”. RIP Jon…….
