‘Throughout his time in Hollywood, he faced numerous challenges, but never allowed them to shape his life entirely. His heart was vast like a mountain, and he cherished his friends immensely. He would often reach out to us, always signing off with “I love you with all my heart.”‘

‘We cherished him deeply, as both a lifelong companion of Jon’s, a sibling to Jeanne, and a beloved friend to me. We will feel his absence deeply. Now he has found relief from his pain and suffering, finally experiencing peace.’
