Jon was a huge inspiration to me, and many others. He was more than a friend, he was a brother. Jon was a recon Marine. He was the first man in to sweep for mines, and explosives and make sure the path was safe for the rest of the Marines. He was haunted by flashbacks of things that no human being should have to see. As a result of that he had PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Jon struggled everyday to adjust to civilian life. On January 22nd lost the fight with the demons he was fighting in his mind, and took his own life. As the hours and days pass since he passed away, I witnessed an amazing out pouring of love and support for my friend, my brother, who was loved by perhaps more people than he realized. I wanted to use this as a way to honor Jon, and help others see how many people actually really do care, without realizing it. I want people to also start showing others how much they care, before it's too late. Never forget to remind others how many you love and care for them.
