Jon G. was the "best big brother", as they would say. He was always there for them, showing them how to beat the latest video games. He was the only one that was able to teach Jay how to tie his shoes with a "secret way". He bought them new movies, games, a paintball gun for Steven and showed him how to use it.  He showed Steven how to play Magic and then gave him all  his best sets. He was kind and generous to all - always had an easy-going attitude.  He was always there to break up their fights and would let Jay watch t.v. on his bed, then carry him back to his own bed when he fell asleep.

Jon G. was so reponsible and mature and made sure that Jay got to school every morning and took him to work with him sometimes which made Jay so happy. He called me everyday to ask "are the boys ok?". 

He will always be his mom and dad's pride and joy - our first-born prince. To just have one more day of watching thunderstorms on the porch with him as a toddler, cuddling him and feeling his little arms around my neck. I hold that memory close.  When he got older and bigger, he would pick ME up and sqeeze ME to get me to give in about something he just had to have, like a bowflex....
