"When the enemy death strikes your grief can be great. It's never the right time to say goodbye to a loved one. Death too to many seems to be a part of life. It's during times such as these that we can find comfort in the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9, 10 ~ "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth". Only God's (Psalms 83:18) Kingdom can bring peace, happiness, perfect health, and everlasting life. "
In loving memory of
Jon E Matchen

Tributes
"Jon was part of our "best frineds" group growing up in high school and college. One of the smartest people I've ever come across in my lifetime. He was a genuine friend and I wish we hadn't lost touch over the years. He had a heart of gold and moral compass to help guide us all through whatever we were going through. I'll miss him."
"I'm very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences goes out to family and friends. May the future promise found at John 5:28, 29 provide you a measure of comfort during this time of grief. We are assured that " All those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out." Until this future promise is fulfilled may reflecting on it as well as the happy memories shared with your dear loved one comfort and strengthen you now and in the days ahead. "
