Words cannot express the sorrow that we feel and the pain that you all must be going through. Jon will always hold a special place in our hearts. I remember the first time I met Jon. He had came to my house with E.J. and I was making Christmas cookies, he loved them I ended up giving him a whole batch of cookies, you would have thought I gave him a million dollars he was so happy. We will miss seeing him with E.J and Crystal and hearing him laugh when Crystal does something funny. Jon, we will miss you and we know that God must have needed you awful bad to have taken you away from all of us so soon. I will always think of you when I make Cookies. Until we meet again.
Love and God Bless,
Gary and Leann Pischke
E.J.’s Mom and Step Dad.
Hi JaRae and Michael,
I met Jonathan at Jack’s funeral and we had such a nice conversation. I thought what a nice boy he is. This is such a trajic loss. I know there are a lot more questions than answers. (I know since we went throught the process with Scott.)
I will put your whole family in my prayers. There aren’t any words to say at a time like this to comfort you. Please know that there are many people that care about your family so much!!!!
I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend the funeral. I have an out of town guest coming in on Sunday.
I will continue to pray for all of you.
Much love to all, Vicki Ebeling
My heartfelt sympathies to you and your whole family. Jonathan was such a special cousin to my granddaughters. Grandpa Amby and Al will take care of him in heaven. Peace be with you all.
Love,
Donna Handel
Words can not possibly say what our hearts feel for your family. This precious son, grandson, nephew, cousin – wearer of many hats to many people – is gone from you only in physical presence. He will live forever in God’s care and your hearts. Bobby & I are lifting you all up in prayer at this sad time. Peace and comfort to you all.
Jon and I went to high school together. We were never close friends, and I don’t recall any specific memories I shared with him but I will always remember him as a very nice young man. He was always kind to me. I am praying for you Midlo family, may God bring you strength during this very difficult time.
Mike and Jarae,
I am so sorry for your loss. John was such a great kid and he will be greatly missed. I will always remember him as very pleasant and respectful boy. My heart aches for you both and the family. I know you are hurting and seeking answers, I truly hope you will turn to God for your them. I pray you will find peace as you press into God. Kristen and I will be praying for your family as you walk through this hard time in your life.
Milo Family-
I am so sorry about your loss. A good friend of mine passed the same day tragically and it is so difficult to try and pick up the pieces of our hearts from the pain. You are in my prayers and my deepest sympathies go out to you through out this time.

May God Bless those left behind. John was my trainer at the place where we worked. John shared my love of snowboarding and we talked of him becoming a ski patroller because of his EMT status. I fondly nicknamed him “Woody” because of his resemblance to one of my favorite characters in “Toy Story” Thanks John for all your help. Wish we could have spent more time with you.
Pay it forward. Love like Jon, Give like Jon, Be there like Jon, Smile like Jon. Care like Jon. We can keep his spirit going, pay it forward.
May peace and comfort be with family, friends.
I love you!!
