I just heard Jonathan's name mentioned at Mass this morning. I am so sad to hear of his passing. I would see Jon at morning Mass periodically and he would always give me a big hug. I would ask about Nicole and his parents. Jon always was positive and he and I would giggle about Nicole's free spirit and what a gift she is! I couldn't help but notice that he died on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. What a lovely feast day to remember Jonathan's life. So sad for your family's loss. Know that my family and I are praying for you all. God Bless.

Dear Family, My name is Bernadine Beatty and I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Jon from St. Margaret's choir. He seemed as though he so enjoyed the music. I last saw him early in the Fall at a Wednesday morning Mass @ St. Margaret's and we did talk for awhile. It was so nice to see him after so long. I will keep him in my prayers and well as the family for the pain of loosing a dear loved one. Sincerely, Bernadine

Jon, I loved you very, very much. I'm having a hard time dealing with your death. As much as I loved you, I would not want you back--I know you are in heaven and free of wordly cares. We had a great relationship on parting, we told each other how much we loved each other. To know Jon was to love Jon.

Jon was very kind to me in high school when not many folks were. I always appreciated how he would ask how I was doing and take time to talk with me. I enjoyed keeping in touch with him through facebook and he always provided encouragement when talking with me. I am so sorry for your loss. The world lost a very wonderful, kind person in Jon. He will be missed by many. My sincere condolences to his family.

Bunky, Cindy and Nicole,
Jon was one of the greatest and most sincere men I have ever known. The time we spent together making music and having fun has stuck with me for the past 20 years. Jon and I met on the first day of sixth grade and that friendship and bond will always be with me. He was like a member of our family when he was around, and I am sure he was like that with a lot of people, always involved in a conversation. He will truly be missed, but always remembered for his heart, attentiveness, generosity, smile, and that distinctive laugh. Rest in peace my friend and brother.

Though I never met Jon it is so clear from the memories shared here by his friends that he was a very special man. Knowing his patents it is so easy to believe that he was happy, talented and helpful. I am so sorry to hear if Jon's passing but so happy for his family that that they had him for a while on earth and in eternity to come. RIP, Jon.

Jon knew how to light up a room. His infectious smile, laugh, and personality made everyone around him at ease. To say it was a shock to hear of his passing would be an understatement. This world lost an amazing soul. Jon left this world in better shape then he ever found it. My life is better because I knew Jon Parslow. May he find the peace he so diligently sought, and may we one day hear his trumpet play again. My love and prayers are with the Parslow family.

Jon took my daughter Mandi Lockner to her senior prom. They were good friends and had a wonderful time. At some point during the evening he stepped on her dress and ripped it. Well they both came back to my house and he proceeded to tell us about it, and the two of them were laughing so hard they could hardly get the story out. What a wonderful guy with a wonderful laugh. Jon, know that memory will live with us forever. RIP honey, I'm sure you'll make the angels laugh just as much.
