Like several others here, I too met Jon while we worked at ORCC.  I left the company several years ago but I started mountain biking a few years ago and reached out to Jon to have a riding buddy who could show me some new areas to ride.  He was a great coworker and an even better mountain bike guide.   He was such a positive person and he always had a smile on his face.  I'll miss trying to keep up with him on the trails!

Thanks for everything and rest in peace man,

Chris


Jon,

It was sweet memories hanging out with  you during our working days at ORCC.
Always humble and down to earth.  It was such easy talking to you and share a laugh. You are always willing to listen to conversation and provide valuable feedback.
Good luck wood statue you have given me is on display at my home. It is best way to honor and remember your smile and friendly nature.  It hurts knowing you are gone too soon.

Keep smiling Jon Yabes. RIP.

I first knew Jon at ORCC (and then when it was acquired by ACI and Fiserv) I think starting more than 15 years ago. As a member of the DBA team for most of that time I worked a lot with all the members of the Client Configuration team of which Jon was a member. Jon was an excellent coworker to all and a friend. I left to take another job in late 2016 but enjoyed working with Jon throughout . He was very kind and had a great sense of humor.

Losing you was not easy on us but it gives us some kind of happiness and satisfaction that we have been able to be a part of your wonderful life. It is not going to be same without you if we decide to go out for lunch or biking again. 
We will miss you forever!!!

Thank you for being the Kuya (older brother) I never had.  You will always be missed, but never forgotten.

Kim was such a wonderful soul and an awesome friend to many.  He was very simple, generous, hospitable, loyal and humble man. He had a very distinct laugh that was so infectious and when you tell him a joke or some throwback stories he would be so interested and very engaging always especially when we talk about our high school memories, our ‘barkadas’ when we were all young and carefree then... I will never forget your great friendship bro my dearest kumpare and I will certainly miss you. You and your family are so loved by many because you were very loving to us all. So Rest In Peace my dear friend.  In behalf of my family we extend our sincere condolences and prayers to the entire Yabes Family.  We love you guys! Always remember that I am here to lend a hand always. Much love, Arceli & The entire Magpayo Family!

Kim was a generous person even at a young age. In highschool, he helped a lot of us in critical times.  We loved that he was always a happy person; almost not an effort to make him laugh.  We are so blessed to have known him.  I know he is with the Lord now, but I admit I will truly miss him. 

On behalf of Lipbammers and Yobs, our sincerest condolences to the whole Tambo-Yabes family. 

We will cherish the beautiful friendship we have shared through the years. Less assured, we will always look after Lisa and the boys. You will always remain in our hearts. Rest now Pareng Kim.  You wil be greatly missed.                      Love,                                                                                                  The Sarmientos

Jon was a great teammate and human being, we shared team at Fiserv, and I only have great things to say!! My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. RIP my friend! 

I worked with Jon at ACI. Jon was not only a great person, but he was wonderful to work with. He knew his job well and I knew I could always count on Jon to get the job done right. He had a wealth of knowledge and was very generous in sharing that with his co-workers. He will be missed tremendously.  Sending my sincerest condolences to his family and friends, and wishes for a gentle healing from this terrible loss. Hugs, Debbie.
