In loving memory of Jon R. Barton, who bravely battled cancer until December 29th, 2023. Jon, a larger-than-life character, graced the lives of many with his vibrant spirit and infectious sense of humor. Whether reminiscing about his days at EDHS, where he served as the In-House Supervisor, or as the proud owner of Cuppa Joe coffee shop, Jon had an uncanny ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
His heart was as big as his personality, and his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. Jon's presence was a source of joy, and his wonderful sense of play and humor could light up even the darkest room. He was not just a provocateur; he was a maestro of laughter, leaving a trail of smiles wherever he went.
Jon leaves behind a legacy of love, survived by his wife, "the lovely Wendy," whom he met while stationed abroad during his service in the Army, his daughter Cassie (husband, Howard), son Shane (wife, Crystal), and his adored grandchildren, Hailey, Christian, Finley, and Olivia. To anyone who met him, it was evident that they were the light of his life.
He considered himself fortunate and cherished every moment with his family and friends, whom he loved with unparalleled depth. The void left by Jon's passing is immeasurable, but the memories of his laughter, warmth, and love will forever linger in our hearts.
A celebration of Jon's remarkable life will be announced at a later date, giving friends and family an opportunity to come together and honor the man who brought so much joy to our lives. May his spirit continue to shine in the memories we hold dear.
