Dear Uncle Jon,
It's been awhile. I've messed up so much and I wish you were here to tell me it was ok. You always made everyone feel better. I just wish that I could see you right now. I'm going to prove that I can change. I don't want to let you down. I love you uncle jon. 

I know a lot of people don’t like me. And that’s ok. Your feelings are valid. Just like mine are. When I met Jon at circle k, i was under the impression that he liked my friend that worked there so I asked him if he had any hot friends and he said, “yea take this number down.” It was his number and I didn’t know for 2 hours but when he told me it was him, I was excited. We hung out that Friday and were inseparable almost every day since. I remember like 2 weeks into our relationship his mom asked him if he was serious about me and his response was “is a heart attack serious?” I was so in love with him. Head over heals. Knew from the moment that we went on a date. That this was it I found my soul mate. I was so happy and we made the most awesome memories. From concerts to fireworks to the births of our children. Many more. We had ups and downs. Struggles and triumphs. Jon was such a good dad. He loved his kids so much. He was there when I wasn’t and now I get to be there for the kids when he isn’t. It’s big shoes to fill bc there’s no way I can come close to be the parent he was, but I’m going to try every day. I look At Jonny and Killian and see Jon’s face and smile. Just ask Killian to smile, he cheeses so big, just like Jon. I miss the crap out of Jon. And even though I didn’t get to go to the service or the viewing. I was there in spirit. No matter what has happened, I loved Jon so much. I still love him for the dad he was and the man he became. Jon always did what he wanted and you couldn’t tell him nothing. I can still hear him saying “damn I’m pretty!” And “All over but the crying” all the things his dad said when he was little. “Take daddy’s boots off for him.” He knew every show on tv in the 80s, could recite every lyric to every song both popular and Christian. He was such a good dude. I love you Jon. I miss your whole face. I’ll always remember the best memories in my life.

This was my uncle. Uncle Jon was a father figure to me. He was over at our house everyday. We’d watch Chicago PD and eat steak. I’ll never forget all the conversations I’ve had with him. He always told me God brought you to this world for a reason, I don’t know what that reason is but you live your life right and don’t do things I’ve done in my past. He would always call at 4pm everyday and told his sons and I that he’d love us. I miss him so much. I’ll never forget all the memories I shared with this amazing man. I can’t believe he’s gone. He was one of my favorite uncles. If my dad didn’t answer the phone I’d call my uncle Jon.
