June 19, 1974 – June 27, 2016
Our dear Jon passed away too soon, at the age of 42.
He was a perfect match for his beloved wife Crystal, a whole-hearted partner in their family, their work, their sense of adventure, and their off-beat sense of humour. An adoring and playful Dad, he delighted in his children and was so proud of them, each for their own unique self. May they always know this.
Jon sparkled. He was just so much fun, charismatic, intuitive, ambitious and brilliant. Jon had the gift of making things more beautiful and his people fuller versions of themselves. He lived in abundance, generosity and gratitude, sharing his skills and talents without question and treasuring his relationships, especially the love and support of his sister Shantel, and his mother-in-law Cathy.
Jon is deeply mourned by his wife Crystal, and his children, Treighton, Haleigh, Jace, Malachi and Preston. Also left to mourn are his parents Joy and Josue Martinez, sisters Shantel (David) and Shawna, parents-in-law Cathy and Barry, siblings-in-law Grant, Jasmine, Lauren and Brad.
A Funeral Service will take place on Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 11:00 am at Hillhurst United Church (1227 Kensington Close NW, Calgary, AB). Burial will follow at Cochrane Cemetery (408 Centre Ave. Cochrane). Following the Graveside Service, friends are welcome to attend a reception at Jon and Crystal’s business; Trailers247 (41090 Big Hills Springs Road, Cochrane, AB).
In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made in Jon’s name to a charity of your choice.
