We are saddened by the loss of your son Jon. Please accept our condolences.
The Taylor family
My daughter Morgan worked with your son at Circle R Ranch. She speaks highly of Jon and judging from the beautiful sentiments on the Facebook page he was well liked, respected and a wonderful young man. Someday you may find peace in that but for now I am sure your grief and pain must be overwhelming. So very sorry for your loss and I extend my sympathies to all of Jons family. Jons spirit will be missed by many…..
regards,
Kim Nichols
I also remember training Jon at TD and thinking…”Man, this kid can talk to anyone and make them smile!” Jon has inspired so many including me to be better people, look for the positive in everything and go for our goals. I will never forget his smile, soft voice and warm spirit. To the Sullivan family and friends, my prayers are with you in this time of great saddness and grieving.
I will always remember your smile, charming personality, sense of humour and positivity. You always brightened my day and I will miss your big bear hug when we started a shift together. I’m going to miss you “Jonny Boy”. My deepest sympathies go to his family and friends.
Debbie and family: I am so sorry to hear about Jonathan. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time. Thinking of you all and sending big hugs your way.
R.I.P. Jon Sullivan I knew you for only a short time but in that time I could see you had a Big Heart. I know if you would have had the chance you would have been an amazing Basketball coach. In just one practice you managed to capture the hearts of 13 young girls who looked forward to have you coach them next year. You will be sadly missed but not forgotten. Show all those Little Angels what you didn’t get the chance to here. London CYO Under 12 girls basketball team. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.
To his family, friends and girlfriend:
I knew Jon from elementary school. He was kind to me and always gave me advice when I was sad. He gave the best advice, usually just saying to be yourself and not let other people’s opinions and negativity to get you down. Very wise advice that we all need to be reminded of sometimes. That is how I will remember him, as the caring friend who loved to make you laugh and lift you up when you were feeling down. I was a total nerd as a kid and Jon treated me just as well as the “cool kids” and I will never forget his kindness. I was lucky to have known him.
I’m very sorry about your loss, from the bottom of my heart. Jon will be missed and remembered by many for a long time to come.
So sorry to hear of your tragic loss. My heart goes out to all your family.
My prayers and thoughts are with you Debbie and your family at this difficult time.
Jon was a fine young man with a promising future. He was kind and gentle to everyone. He had a beautiful smile and a great sense of humour! I am deeply saddened by this tragic loss of life…
Rest in peace, Jon. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Mrs. T. (Jon’s Grade 6 Teacher)
Jon was my best friend, and first love. I will never forget him. A heart of gold, a million ambitions, and a great friend. I miss you more than anything, Jon. May angels lead you in.
<3

My thoughts and prayers to the Sullivan family. Jon was my son Patrick’s first friend when we moved to London. I have a beautiful picture of them side by side at grade 8 graduation. My son was blessed to have Jon in his life. You raised a wonderful young man who touched everyone. I hope you can find strength and solace in that during this very sad time for you. I will keep you in my prayers.
I am extremely sorry for the loss of this precious young man. My heart is so broken for you in this time of morning and loss. May your hearts find peace in this time of sorrow. I will continue to pray for you all. My heart goes out to you.
Gone too soon but not FORGOTTEN:For a second you were flying
Like you always wanted to
Now you’ll fly forever
In skies of azure blue
We’ll see your smile in every ray
Of sunshine after rain
And hear the echo of your laughter
Over all the pain
The world’s a little quieter now
The colours have lost their hue
The birds are singing softly
And our hearts are missing you
Each time we see a little cloud
Or a rainbow soaring high
We’ll think of you and gently
Wipe a tear from our eye
By: Victoria Bruce
Thanks for the memories.
My deepest sympathy to the whole family. My thoughts and prayers are with you on this very sad time.
This made me very sad and sick, as I know Jon from going into the TD branch at Ernest.I always wait for JOn to look after me as he was one of the very best CSR. He was always smiling. My heart breaks that such a nice person was taken away at such a young age. Jon rest in peace.
You will be missed by all.
Although I did not know Jon personally,I felt I did. Everyday Debbie came to work she was always talking about one of her boys. Proud of both of them.I am so sorry for your loss,my thoughts and prayers go out to you Debbie and your family during this time.
Jon was an amazing man. Always happy…always positive. I will never forget how genuine he was. He was and will forever be one of a kind. My condolences to the Sullivan family on this difficult time.
Jon you are such an amazing person and an inspiration to many people. You are so, so loved by so many people. The amount of lives you have touched is amazing. It is so nice to see how many great things people have to say about you, of course I already knew it!
We dated for four years, you were my best friend, and I cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful things you said to me, gave to me, and did for me. You were my first love and always will be, you will always have a piece of my heart.
Your physical being is gone now, but I know YOU are still with us and you will keep us safe. You’re all around us and I know you’re watching over us.
Thank you for being the amazing, special person you are.
It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.
Love from myself and the whole Quaglia family to yours.
A brother I never had, is like I what to call Jon. A very generous, loving and caring person that influenced or inspired others by the thousands, truely a remarkable human being. Will be very missed by many but forgotten by none.

Brad & Debbie:I did not really know Jonathan but I had the pleasure of having him wait on me at the bank. I have to tell you, as so many others probably have, that your son was a treasure.

Jon Sullivan, you were always a bright happy person walking down the halls of RMC, no matter who you past by you always had that awesome sense of humour, to make anybody have a smile on their face. From our family to your family we give you all our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
You will be missed by many, but not forgotten, see ya later buddy.

Debbie & Family, sorry for your lost our deepest sympathy and prayers to your famly,God Bless to entire famliy..
To the Sullivan family. My deepest condolences. Jon was a true person. One of the greatest men I have met. Its an honor to have known Jon, he was an amazing person and an amazing friend. Jon had nothing but friends and respect for others which reflects his bringing up. He obviously came from a genuine family. A family who raised a son to perfection. We can also see this through Jon’s brother, Mike, which I also have the pleasure to call my friend. I knew Jon since high school and we also went to King’s University together. He would not once avoid a conversation or a simple “hello”. He would always ask how my family was doing even though he did not know my parents very well. Jon got to know my father through his work at TD Bank and my father would always tell me to be like Jon and talk in with such sophistication, respect, happiness, and to just always have a bright smile like he did. It’s a sad loss for everyone, family and friends, and even strangers. Jon was an honorable human being to live on earth. He is greatly missed by everyone who ever had the pleasure to know him. To the Sullivan family, continue to be strong through this hard time and be proud of who you have raised. You have done a spectacular job. Let’s all remember the beautiful times we shared with Jon and mirror that lovely smile he possessed. Rest in Peace Jonathon Sullivan, my friend.
Dear Brad, Debbie and Mike
Our hearts are with you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
R.I.P. Jon Sullivan. You were one of the most down to earth people I’ve met in my life. I think about how much I miss him, and start to feel sorry for myself..but then I think about all the people who never got the chance to meet him, and I start to feel sorry for them. My favorite quality about you wasn’t that infectious smile, it was your truly adept ability to never judge anyone. I will forever remember the last words you told me after I told you about my dream of California. “If you are working on something you like or love, don’t let anybody stop you at your dream, YOUR DREAM ! Not theirs ; Remember that.” – Jon Sullivan. Bless your soul. God decided he needed you so from this world you left, but you took a piece of all of us; our hearts are what you kept.
Jon, you always gave me the best advice and you were always right. I hate that you are gone but I am so happy that you were a part of our lives because it is so so hard to meet anyone that has the same characteristics as you. Your family is so lucky and should be so proud to have had a son like you.
Rest in peace
Hana
May you and your family find strenght and courage on this difficult time. I know words wont be enough but you are so blessed to have a son like him and continue to cherries the happiness and joy he brought to your life. Take care and I will be praying for you. Mona Lang(Dearness)
I am so so sorry for your loss. May God bless his sole and rest in peace. He was a wonderful coworker.
Even though I did not know Jon as well as some I knew how great of a man he really was. Throughout all four years of highschool he always came to class with a smile on his face, and could put every one else in a good mood just by his presence. Jon is the perfect example of a true gentlemen and seeing how many lives he has touched is amazing.
I am deeply sorry for his family, friends and girlfriend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time .
It was with profound sadness that I learned of Jon’s passing. My heartfelt sympathy to Jon’s family in their tragic loss. I didn’t have the privilege of having Jon in my class but he was a valued part of the RMC community. We spoke a number of times at school and he took part with enthusiasm in a campaign to raise funds for a school in Africa. I will remember him as a truly decent young man who was a positive influence in the school and a role model for other students. A sad loss for all who knew him. “And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
Jon Sullivan was an amazing person. He touched the lives of many people especially mine. I still remember the first time I met Jon in grade nine and that big smile he had on his face. I remember the days I would walk into class when my day wasn’t going well, and the first thing Jon would do was say something nice. He always made me laugh and put a smile on my face. I will never forget the amazing times we had together and the jokes we had. He was a funny, smart, kind hearted and down to earth man. Words cannot describe the loss we are all feeling now. Rest in peace, you will always be remembered <3
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with the family and girlfriend of Jon.
With deepest sympathy,

Our whole family is deeply, deeply saddened about the death of Jon. He was a very special part of our lives for many years and we loved him dearly. He was always a ray of sunshine and had a wonderful view of life and was a delight to be around. He had an amazing sense of humor and was always grateful for everything. He was our daughters first love and we felt so blessed that he was part of her life as well as ours. We are tremendously grateful to have known him as well as your family. Please know are hearts go out to you. He will never be forgotten.
Jon, I was always amazed at how effortlessly you spoke to people and how engaged you genuinely were in their lives and their families. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how amazing you were when I came back to work; you knew I was having a tough time and you were always right there asking me if I needed any help. Thank you for always caring to ask about Harrison and my family. You are such a special person. I am really thankful that I had the opportunity to work with you.
We will miss you.
We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear of Jon’s sudden death. Jon always took the time to say hello and to acknowledge us while watching the RMC Basketball games, he was a true gentleman. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Sullivan family and all his friends. You will be missed!
On behalf of Trayven, Camille and myself, I respectfully express our most sincere and deepest condolences to the entire Sullivan Family. Please know that you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
We were saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your son Jon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
Ever this day,be at our side,
To light and guard,Rule and guide.
Jon has touched the lives of many people, his impact on every single person he came in contact with will forever be remembered. I believe so many others will strive to be more like Jon and hope to one day leave behind the inspiration and heart that Jon has done. Jon will be forever missed,loved, and remembered has one of the most caring,thoughtful, intelligent, helpful guys that has brushed the lives of many. My Condolence goes out to the Sullivans at this time. Jon is looking down on each and everyone of us, Family and Friends as our guardian Angel. May he Rest in Sweet Peace.
Brad and Debbie – our deepest sympathy on the tragic loss of your beloved Jon. We did not have the privilege of knowing Jon but it is obvious you raised a remarkable and caring young man.
Jon,
You were always a person with a smile on your face. I still remember when u were graduating from SAC and seeing the pictures with you Brandon and Jenny make me wonder why you were taken away from us a such an early age. Even when you use to.work at tip top you would always get me to buy good cloth from you bro.
My prayers are with your family and friends and one day we will see.each other again someday
I remember the first time I met him was at the whiteoaks community centre and I got the chance of playing with him on my team. Being younger than him I was always nervous but Jon from day one had my back. His support and advice continued as a team mate throughout high school on our basketball team. He always pushed me to my limit in practice to become better and without a doubt was the most responsible one out of all of us. Through our high school years Jon eventually became a friend and more importantly we became family and no matter what happens it will always stay that way. You are a role model, a great team mate and an amazing friend. You will be missed a lot.
Jon was a great guy and somone that you always enjoyed talking to. It feels just like yesterday that i could hear him over skype explaing what he saw at the young jeezey concert or trying to get mike to watch the amazing goal he scored in fifa. The thing i will remember most about jon is when i was at the sullivan residence and i was making my self food and i went back down stairs to play halo with mike and forgot about my things in the toaster and it burned the all of the pogo’s in the toaster but jon had all his creatine pills on the top and they all ended up melting and i had ruined them all. I could tell how angry he was at me but he knew i had no money to pay him back so he just told me “dont let it happen again” and smiled and walked away. This just show’s how caring and understand he was. Jon was mature beyond his years but also a very fun and down to earth guy. You will be missed by many but never forgotten because of the impact you had on our lives. R.I.P
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You’ve often spoke of your children with such pride and it is truly a sad day. My deepest sympathies for your loss.
Brad, I am unable to fully express in words my sadness and condelences to you and your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
Dear Sullivan Family ,
Jon was a very kind, heart warming person, always knew how to put a smile on anyones face no matter what mood they were in, His big bright smile would light up the room the minute he walked in, hes such a nice person, real man, biggest heart in the world. He’s been taken away from way to young, but now we know we have someone up there watching us. My prayers are with his family and girlfriend<3
R.I.P Jon <3
Always will be LOVED but NEVER FORGOTTEN<3
Jon I will always remember your genuine smile. You were an awesome co-worker and always found the good in people. You had a contagious smile and always had a personal connection with everyone. I will always remember your shoulder massages and your hugs you gave me. You always made me laugh. I will truly, truly miss you. My condolences to the Sullivan family may you find peace. Till we meet again buddy.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,memories leave a treasure no one can steal.
We are thankful for memories of times well spent with Jon. Sincere condolences to you,your family & friends.
During the time I worked with Jon at TD he always had a smile on his face and had a genuine wish to help people. He always took the time to make everyone feel special. His outlook on life will continue to inspire me to be a better person. To Jon’s family and friends I extend my deepest condolences during this time of great sadness. Jon’s kind and gentle spirit will not be forgotten.
Dear Debbie: I am so sorry about the tragic dealth of your son Jon…You always talked about your kids so much when I worked with you….you will be in my daily prayers….Blessings

I am deeply saddened by the loss of your son Jon. Please accept my sincere condolences and I am praying to god to give you all the comfort,strength and patience during this difficult time. I was very fortunate to work with such a remarkable, compassionate,loving and well mannered young man. He will never be forgotten as he will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace Jon.
Our deepest sympathies to the Sullivan family. The Farhat family has been privileged and blessed to have shared many special memories with Jon. He was a wonderful young man with a big heart. He will be missed but never forgotten. May you find comfort in knowing how much the gentleman you raised was appreciated in our lives. Jon, we will never forget you, thank you for being a special part of each of our lives.
Brad and family — I’m so sorry to hear of Jon’s passing. I can only imagine the depth of your sadness but I do hope that your many happy family memories will give you peace in the coming weeks.
Jon used to babysit our kids with Jordana when they were dating. Jordana is our niece. Our girls would surround him anytime we had a family function and he would welcome their company and endlessly play with them for hours – so very patient and giving. We loved his happy smile and the easy way he had about him. I can’t imagine how hard this is for you right now…but so many people are thinking of you. We hope you feel it and find some comfort in that during this time.
What a wonderful son you have raised.
K & M Edge
Jon, I’ll always remember you driving me home from work or badminton and randomly hanging out, always getting something to eat. I remember how you would never let me pay for my own food since you were such a gentleman! I remember how you would always have my back, give me advice, and put a smile on my face whenever we were together. You were an awesome friend/neighbour , and I’ll always think about you every time I pass by your house. I will forever cherish the memories we had together. Rest in the sweetest peace.
My condolences to the Sullivan family during this difficult time; I am sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
– Pilar Santiago
I think it’s safe to say that we were all very lucky to have Jon in our lives. I don’t know anyone else who would go out of their way to make someone happy. His smile was infectious and his hugs, genuine.
Jon, I was so lucky to have watched you grow and become such an amazing man. Even though you were only a year younger than me, and quickly surpassed me in height, you will always be my little darling.
“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”
When i met jonathan it was a still in school trying to finish up and i remember telling him how badly i want to start working and save for my car. When i did start working every week id would come into the bank and only go straight to him he was my favorite. He always had good advise and every week i was always looking forward to seeing him and telling him im one step closer to my big accomplishment “my first car” at that time he was lookin forward to getting his bike. Even though i wasnt close to him like most of you are he always treated me as a friend.. I never forget the day when i finally was ready to buy my car he counted out all the money i save… he was soo proud of me!!! I never gave up! The last time i seen Jon he told me Congratulations seein that i am expecting… Im so sad im not from london so he was the few people that i knew and talked to.. im also sad that i couldnt see him one last time =( IMU JOHN the bank wont be the same …<3<3 my heart goes out to your family
Jon, I hope you are watching over your family now, because I promise you they need you more than ever. You are a generous soul with a infectious smile. My mother knew you as the kind bank teller, and I met you as Mikeys older brother. Rest in Peace, you will never be forgotten.
Although I didn’t know Jon, I knew how important how important he was to the Sullivan family and community. Reading all of these posts only shows how much of a beneficial impact he had on everybody’s lives. Jon was like an angel on Earth and will never be forgotten. Stay strong, Sullivan family. Rest in beautiful peace Jon.
Jon i still can’t believe your gone. i was in tears when i heard this tragedy and still am while writing this, i can’t believe it. Jon u were one of the GREATEST people to have ever stepped foot into my life. We go all the way back to high school, thats where i met you. I remember running around the gym to find a cd player just for you when you wanted to listen to Young Jezzy because you had nothing to listen to. You would always come up to me and appreciate how i did my job and always complimented everything. It feels like yesterday when we were at the gym talking about everything, including this upcoming summer of me and you riding together; we talked more then actually working out. You were always so cheerful and happy and you portrayed that upon me. Last conversation i had with you, you promised to bring me coffee next time you stopped by at the gym, i love you man you have no idea. YOU will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, i miss you brother.
Dear Sullivan Family,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son & brother, Jon. I worked with Jon at Tip Top, and every memory I have of him includes his winning smile, his gentle demeanour and his laugh. Our shifts always went quickly because we would get caught up in good conversation about school & his aspirations for the future — and many great laughs too! What an intelligent and intuitive young man he was. Jon had wonderful dreams and beautiful goals, and I believe that though he only spent 22 short years with us on this earth, he did achieve many of them.
It goes without saying that Jon has impacted the lives of many people, and that his earthly presence will really be missed. Jon is a role model to all of positivity, chivalry, gentleness, and all around kindness. My prayer is that these qualities and your precious memories of Jon live on in all of you, and ease your pain during this time of sadness.
Jon: May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
You were one of the first people to talk to me when i was new at RMC, invited me to play cards with you. You were always such a funny guy with a great sense of humor and such a great view on life. always remembered never forgotten.
Dear Jon, thank you for listening and supporting me, showing me to continue to love others despite how they treat me, showing what a real massage is like, teaching me about 420 and exposing me to all things cool. Jon, when I learned of your passing, I was in shock, but I understand why you had to go. You did your work here, and you surely lived your life to the fullest. I can only hope that when everyone thinks of you, they are reminded of that. I miss you. Jon, you were much younger than me, but you’ve taught me so much. Thank you for leaving so much with all of us. We are forever grateful. Love always. RIP.
My sincerest sympathies to the Sullivan family.
So sorry to hear of the passing of your Son.
He will be forever young and always in your hearts.
Condolences from the McNaughton family
Our heartfelt sympathy to Jon’s family, friends and co-workers. We are customers of TD. My husband would wait inline to talk to Jon. Jon always made us laugh and made the day brighter after talking to him. In our thoughts and prayers.
May you rest in the sweetest peace.
I knew Jon for many years, in elementary school as well as high school. He always had a smile on his face, and something nice to say. Though we were never close, he NEVER passed up an opportunity to have a conversation with me and see how things were going. As I watched many RMC boys basketball games, I was never let down by the amount of effort and heart he put into the game.
He was a great person, who was loved by many. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
He may be gone, but he will NEVER be forgotten.
Dear Debbie & Family, My heart
goes out to you and your family at this very difficult
time. I just can’t imagine.
My deepest condolences and my
prayers are with you.
It was such a pleasure to go to school with Jon, both at RMC and King’s. I was always so impressed with how he treated everyone around him, with nothing but kindness. This is how I’ll always remember Jon, as a genuinely gracious and all-around good guy. I don’t think he knew how to be any other way. Thank you, Brad and Debbie, for raising Jon the way you did. My thoughts are with you both and the entire Sullivan family.
It was truly a pleasure and honour to have taught this young man. He had a special contagious “sprit” that made everyone around him happy. My deepest condolences to the Sullivan family.
Mrs. Goldsack
RMC Math Teacher
Our condolences and deepest sympathy goes out to all the family and friends of this wonderful young man. We were very lucky to have our lives touched by Jon and he will be missed dearly.
Debbie, Brad and Mike, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Take comfort in the all of the good memories as they will stay with you always.
Cheryl, Jeff and Melissa
Jon, you are the sweetest guy I have had the pleasure of getting to know . I will forever cherish all the memories that we shared .. From the BBQs, to the basketball games, times at spring bank park and the late night Bon fires. I will never forget how your smile could light up the room. I feel so blessed to of had the pleasure of meeting someone like you and being able to share so many great memories. My deepest condolences to the Sullivan Family! Rest in sweet peace Jon<3
I went to high school with Jon and was privileged to have a few classes with him! He was a great guy, very genuine,and he was always smiling! His earthly presence will be missed. May the memories that we have all shared with him last forever. He is watching down on all of us! My prayers are with the Sullivan family.
It really isn’t fair having to see such a special person passing. Every memory mentioned about Jon going out of his way to talk to you, cheer you up or help you out is spot on. I remember walking home from work one time, he was driving by and decided to pull over and chat instead of waiting until next time we saw each other. Most people including myself would have just sent a text message or maybe a facebook message when they got home. Another time we had a good laugh was at McDonald’s late one night he drove Himself, Mike, David and I. When we got there he wanted ice cream, but it was in “Heat mode” so it was unable to make ice cream. So he said to the person on window “If ice cream is frozen and your machine is in heat mode, can’t I just have room temperature ice cream?.” He really was a special person to be able to care about and influence soo many people in such a short time. It makes me want to try extra hard to go out of my way to stop and say “Hi” or do something kind for someone everyday because you never know when something could happen to you, or them. Losing such an influential person in our community is devastating. My sympathies go out to his close friends, girlfriend and the Sullivan family. RIP Jon Sullivan.
Jon, definetly the most genuine guy I’ve ever met, ill definetly miss all our long talks at the gym and all the great advice you gave me. Ill never forget the time I told you I had a pain in my back and you told me it was a knot and didn’t stop until you pushed it out even until you said you couldn’t feel your fingers anymore lol… You were the most sincere and caring guy and it sucks that you had to leave so early but I guess its true, God takes the good young. Such a pleasure knowing you and I hope to meet again one day, R.I.P Jon ? My thoughts and prayers are with the Sullivan family
To Jon’s family . . .
I want you to know that I am thinking about all of you and you will be in my thoughts and prayers every day for a long time to come. I know the heartache and sadness is overwhelming for all of you but I hope knowing how much Jon is loved and will be missed will bring you some kind of comfort. You did an amazing job raising that wonderful young man and we are all so grateful you gave him to us. Jon touched so many lives and we are all better people simply because we knew him. Hold on to all of your memories and know that your very own Guardian Angel will be with you every day.
I had the privilege of teaching Jon more than once at RMC and I will always remember what an awesome student he was. No one I ever taught worked harder than Jon. He was so dedicated to his studies and he always wanted to do his best. Actually, Jon was always striving to do even more than his best! What an example he was for others! I was so lucky to have Jon in my class and I know all of his other teachers feel the same way. I know Clinton was glad he was there . . . Without Jon, he wouldn’t have had a calculator! What was I thinking letting the two of them sit together at the back of the room?!
I am lucky in another way though and I am so very grateful for it. I got to know Jon outside of the classroom as well. With that awesome smile of his and great sense of humour, he was always stopping by to visit and make me laugh. It wasn’t long before he joined that exclusive club known simply as “Miss Lang’s kids”. They all know who they are and their families do, too. 🙂 What an honour for me to have such wonderful kids in my life.
Yet another part of Jon’s life I got to share was his love of basketball. I don’t know how many basketball games there were altogether but I know I was there for a lot of them! Having “TITANS #1 FAN” stitched on your jacket comes with responsibilities you know! Candy for the fans and baked goods for the team. 🙂 Jon was just as dedicated on the court as he was in the classroom and it was great watching him play and helping his parents cheer him on.
Thanks for being one of my kids, Jon. You’re the best and I will never forget you. (I have our Hallowe’en picture to help me remember!) I know you are watching over all of us and you will always be with us, in our hearts where you belong. Take Care and God Bless.
Tomorrow is a blank page, just waiting to be filled with your dreams… All you have to do is be yourself and live the story of your own unique life. Be proud. Be confident. And most of all be happy. YOU WERE PROUD, HAPPY, CONFIDENT, FULL OF LIFE AND DREAMS… SADLY UR NEXT PAGE IS GOING TO REMAIN BLANK CUZ THIS IS WHERE THE STORY OF UR WONDERFUL LIFE ENDS:( R.I.P
Thank you for being a part of my life, your parents raised a great man. I’m so sorry for your loss Sullivan family..
You were the kind of guy that had so much to give and never asked for anything in return. You were always smiling and just enjoying life which spread to everyone around you and you always managed to get a laugh out of everyone. All my memories with you are nothing but filled with laughter and amazing times. You helped me through one of the toughest times in my life and were always there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on or needed someone to put on smile on my face no matter what, and for that I will grateful.You will always be loved and never be forgotten. My love and thoughts go out to the Sullivan family.
In the short time I knew Jon he was able to instantly put a smile on my face. He was such an easy going guy who never judged anyone right away. He will be missed by all. May he rest in sweet peace.
I’am so sorry for your loss, Jon was an amazing man. When he would walk into the room he would light it up. He has touched my life so deeply in such little time. By his amazing charisma, and his amazing attitude towards life and for everyone else he cared about. I new him from school.
Hi Deb,Brad and Mike,
It is so strange how close we have all become from your visits to Archies. After 25 years of working there I have seen so many kids grow up! Jon and Mike included:) It kind of seems that in a way we are all family. I will definitely miss his Tuesday afternoon visits! Jon was a nice addition to my seniors day crowd! Lol:) I look forward to seeing you all soon. We are all thinking of you. Take care

Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing Jon too well it is evident the impact he has had on so many people’s lives even if he didn’t know them too well. It is amazing to see how many people live’s he has touched in so many different ways. I did have the pleasure of attending highschool with Jon and having a few classes with him. He was always happy and came to class smiling everyday. Seems like he was always there if anyone needed anyting and to make others laugh and smile. Jon truely was a gentlemen and I wish I had the privilege of knowing him better. So sorry to hear of Jon’s passing.My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and anyone close to him during this difficult time. God only takes the best. Gone but not forgotten. Jon’s legacy will carry on and always be remembered in our hearts. My deepest condolences to the Sulliven family.
Our deepest condolences during this very difficult time. Debbie, family, and friends our thoughts and prayers are with you every step of the way. Jonathan was such a kind, and generous individual. He will be greatly missed by all.

Dear Sullivan Family,
My name is Katerina, and I met Jon at my first yeart at Kings. I remember meeting him through a friend and we became close at one point in our univeristy time. I moved to Europe about 2 years ago, and regretfully lost contact with many people, including Jon.
What a great guy he was.. so kind, so sweet and just an overall outstanding person to be around. I thank God that I had the pleasure of knowing him for the short time I did.. and I pray that you stick together as a family and get through this rough time.
Jon, may you watch over all your friends, and family and may you be in sweet bliss and forever peacful.

I didn’t know Jon very well but the few times I talked to him he was so nice. He was one of those guys you didn’t need to know well to know what a great guy he was. He will definitely be missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends.
I feel truly blessed and honored to have known you. Ill never forget our memories, especially the last three years of solid friendship. We never lost touch and i know we never will. Thanks for always having my back JSully, RIP.
