I sit here typing this blog with heavy heart; I have one less great friend in this world. A life full of laughter, love, and music has been extinguished. My friend Jon joined all the great artists that went before him, passing away at 2:25 p.m. on Tuesday after an excrutiating battle with cancer.
His wife, sons and extended family are devastated; he was only 46 years old.
His many friends will also miss this unique man, who always tried to make everyone's life better by sharing his personal brand of humor and love of life. He expressed his love for life in many ways and left us an incredible standard of a life well-lived. He had no enemies and left no debts; he cared for those in need and worked hard to know he'd always done the best job he could.
He was a tough competitor who loved to play golf, so we spent many an afternoon in Mission Hills playing his favorite El Cariso course. He loved his brand new swimming pool and watching his kids play in it. He loved having people over to barbeque, even when it was 110 degrees and the power failed. It didn't stop him, he set up a generator and brought a truckful of ice, so the party continued unabated.
I hope each of you reading this have at least one friend in your life like Jon. If you do, then treasure them, because we are all only here for so long.
Friends like Jon are the family you get to choose.
