- JoElla Hope Coleman, Guyton, Georgia

JT was a wonderful friend and I can never recall a time when we would catch up that he did not mention his family in a loving way or have a sweet story to share about his girls. The world was better with JT in it and I am thankful to have known him. My heartfelt prayers go out to his entire family. May you feel him with you always and take comfort in knowing you will see him again. God Bless you all.

JT was one of my best friends. I always thought of him like an older brother. We had many amazing and crazy memories since meeting 11 years ago. I will forever regard him as one of the best people. Girls, there wasn’t a night when we hung out that he wouldn’t mention you at least a dozen times. He was over the moon for you young ladies. I, like you, will hold him in my heart forever.

- Dustin Maclin, Sandersville, Georgia

My deepest condolences to your family. JT was a one of a kind, crazy, fun, hard working person who loved life and people. I grew up on Tybee, and have known JT for many years, he always had a smile and a joke to tell when I would see him. Blessings and prayers.

- Mary Van Winkle Thaler, Metter, GA

Our thoughts and prayers have been with JT’s family, especially his beautiful daughters since I heard the news! JT was a friend that became family over the many years we knew him! When we left Tybee to get my treatment, JT always kept in touch checking on me and then I did the same during his battle but I grieve hardest because of the guilt I feel for not being there and then him passing! I just can’t put into words just how much JT meant to us but I pray that thru his friends, his girls will know just how very much their father loved them!! Will all he had in him! Our prayers are with you thru this truly difficult time... sending warm thoughts and lots of love! Deborah and Bobby Dean

Take care of our hearts till we get to you!

My heart aches for those that JT left behind, he was a one of a kind rebel who loved his family and life itself. He called me mom from the first time I met him and I loved it and I love being mema to his girls, whom we love very much. I send prayers of peace and comfort to his 3 girls and other family members. He may be gone but he will never be forgotten. Love to you all.

JT was one of a kind they'll never be anybody like him and I call myself fortunate to call him brother because that's what he was to me. BROTHER. I can go on and on but I won't but I will be saying this I will be getting a Marvin Martian tattoo just like JT has cuz I was there when he got his

- Scott Bishop, Sumter, SC

There arent words to express my sorrow & condolences. Mrs. H Taylor, you raised a fine son who was dear to me in many ways, loved people who might not have been able to love him back but he was not the type of person to worry over lack of love. Family was his thing always, having fun & being himself. To the rest of his family: wife & kids, I know there are no words to help now because that chunk doesnt leave ever. But in the future, we only need to know he died as free as he chose to be. I'll miss him much.

- KIM D Fergerson, Savannah, GA

I'm so sorry for your loss. Brandon and I are heartbroken, and we will miss him every day. JT was one of the very first friends that we made when we moved here 8 years ago. He was such a good hearted, genuine friend that we will cherish in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

- Brandon and Kelly Robinson, Savannah, GA

We had some great times all the way back to the eighties when a bunch of us would go camping on little tybee , what a blow out they were, Jon was always such a hoot with his jokes.I catered the bar at his wedding and I think the cops showed up like 3 times !

- Randy West, Savannah , Georgia

Shocked & saddened with hearing of the loss of JT. I had this thought he would be the one to beat it. He gave the best hugs and loved to tell his stories !! His love of life, his girls, hockey & all of us was so awesome. He was larger than life. To all of his family and friends we are so very sorry for your loss...

- Kim & Chris Porter , Savannah , GA

My deepest sympathy, and prayers are going out to all of Jon's family, and loved ones. He spoke of each one of you with such love, and happy memories, and just lit up when he shared the recent picture with his siblings. Gina, Madison, and Zane.. As you know.. He loved you all immensely. When he talked about you, his eyes grew brighter, his smile bigger, and you could feel how he adored you all. It just radiated from him. It was a beautiful thing to see. Thank you Jon, for a friendship that I will always cherish. You always knew how to bring out a smile in everyone you met. Potential enemies became your friend. Whether they wanted to or not. You fully loved as well as lived your life.. Extra. Until we all see you again Jon..

- Linda DuBois , Whitemarsh Island, GA

Zane And Family (& Poo Family), We Are So Very Sorry To Hear Of The Loss Of J.T. He Was Certainly An Icon Who Loved And Was Well-Loved And Respected By Everybody, Including Us. May God Wrap His Loving Arms Around You All, Filling You With His Peace And Comforting Each Of You With Fond Memories. He’ll Not Be There (Huc’s) For His Cupcake From Brynda That He Always Loved. I Hope He Still Has His Gold ‘Finger’ Coin That We Bought And Gave To Him Not Long Ago. He Said That He Loved It And Wanted To Make A Belt-Buckle Out It To Wear... Gone Way Too Soon, Never Forgotten. God Rest His Soul.

- Charles Jones , Fordoche , Louisiana

I will miss talking hockey with and hearing his voice from my porch. I served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 30 years and thought I’d heard, seen, or done everything. He made this sailor blush a few times, but always a smiling blush. Honored to have you, JT and my heart goes out to your family. Go Bruins.

- Michael Hogan, Tybee Island, GA

JT was a force of nature, power and love that few will ever achieve here on earth. He touched more people than you will know. I know he was one of God’s angels on earth - he may not have looked like one but that’s how Fod works. So blessed to have known him and to have loved and been loved by him. Love and blessings to those he leaves behind. We’ll be together, again, soon, JT. Love ya, man.

- Tyler and Tracey Randolph , Tybee Island, Georgia

To Jon’s Girls- I am terribly saddened by your loss. JT was a good man and he loved his family. He was a good friend- one that made sure I was ok- when I didn’t know if I’d be ok. He loved y’all very very much and was so proud of y’all. Please take care of yourselves and know we all are praying for peace for you. Love, Shelly Starr and Jeremy Hershey

I met and knew JT at The Poo. He was a good friend to me always ready with a smile and a laugh for the oldest guy there. Although my wife and I usually sat with the locals, I always made it a point to spend some time with JT for fun it to share some more personal thoughts to which he always listened. I, one of many, will sincerely miss him.
