Bringing Jon's Ashes Home

Donation protected
My brother was taken way too soon from us.

He loved the simple things in life - a tight knit family, great friends and good Filipino food. 

He excelled at working on cars and HELPING PEOPLE.  I once was told that only he can bring a car's engine back to life, no matter how impossible it may seem.  And when asked how much it cost, his answer would be "How much can you afford?".

Stuck alone in the Philippines for 22 years waiting for his petition to come to the US, this dream was finally realized on October 8, 2016....only to meet his untimely demise on February 20, 2018.

Regardless, this small amount of time allowed him to make such a mark on all the customers and co-workers he met working at Sears.

We are amazed at the vast amount of people reaching out to us.  We had no idea how many lives he touched with his kind soul.

Our family appreciate everyone’s desire to show their respect.  We would like to request that in lieu of flowers, please donate its expense to this fund instead.  Our Mother would like to bring his ashes back to our hometown in the Philippines where he intended to retire.
