Sweet memories of a young man who loved telling junior high and high school kids in the Montgomery area about Jesus. I remember him having fun playing games with them, listening to their stories and saying "Cool" when they finished telling him something. We feel blessed to have known Jon. Condolences, love, and prayers from the McDowell Family.
