Although I hadn't really spoken to you much in recent years, I remember you being one of the kindest, most laid back dudes going. You are going to be greatly missed.

I consider you all family, and Jon was without a doubt one of my closest friends. In fact we were just talking over facebook a couple weeks ago about getting together soon, and we just couldn't make it happen. Jon was a mentor to me in ways, and the reason I know anything at all about recording music. He was more than just a great person; He was one of those people that you find that really cared about other people. That in itself is a quality that is rare in people now days. He is loved and will be sorely missed by this brother from another mother.

Though are only meeting was through the Internet I could tell Jon was a wonderful, warm, an caring man with a wonderful sense of humor. He was a great man and a great friend. I will miss him very much.

I first met Jon several years ago as Yakki on an online forum, then came to know him as Jon on Facebook. No matter which name he used, he was the same wonderful person, warm and caring, and sometimes a bit naughty. He loved a good fight with internet trolls, and invariably won. He was a good friend. When I was diagnosed with diabetes last year, he gave me advice and encouragement, and eased my fears. I just wish I hadn't taken it for granted that he would always be there. My heart goes out to his family and friends. May your faith keep you strong during this trying time.

My heart aches.... and has been aching all day since I first heard the news.... Jon was a big man with an even bigger heart..... I feel as if I've lost a close friend.... Even tho' we only spent a few scant 6-7 hours together in '3D' at a guitar Jam session/party several years ago here in TX .... We spent many, many hours together on-line and onna land line .... I certainly remember when his son Gab was born, and how very proud he was..... I remember many things about my friend Jon..... He had a uniqueness about him... That... Was, well, Truly Unique..... I could say that: 'They broke the mold after him'..... But.... There was no mold for Jon.... Rest In Peace Buddy..... Bubba

Jon (Yakki) will be gravely missed by his friends on these here inter-tubes. We have been friends at Newshounds for more years than I care count and then on Facebook. We will miss his humour and the love he surrounded his friends with. We will also miss his take-no-prisioners attitude to those he disagreed with. God Bless and Keep him safe on his travels. and God bless his family in this terrible time of loss. All my love, Anisha, your always friend.
Crystal Wells left a message on October 2, 2012:
I'm one of those many friends Jon made over the computer and I considered him to be one of my dearest friends. I always knew that if I had a tough day I could count on Jon to brighten it up with laughter. Jon and Bridget fast became two people that I considered family even though we never met in person. Jon Toomey was an amazing person with such a big heart, he will never be forgotten by anyone whose life he touched. I know I will always remember! Crystal "Kyiara" Wells

I will always remember the wonderful days at First Assembly in Greenville. I had the best Youth Group in the world. Each and every young person was unique and loved very much. Jon was always there with a smile and willingness to do anything. He loved life, and loved living it. Bridgette was the beautiful sweet "little red haired girl" in our group. I was thrilled when I heard these two would marry. Everyone will miss Jon, but he no longer has to deal with the pain in his physical body. He has a new body. Praise God! Now, we will encourage each other as we deal with the pain in our hearts. Darleen, my heart is with your heart. Bridgette, I thank God that He gave you Gabe. You will always have Jon while on this earth. Chris, you know how much I love you. I have always been and am with you. Nick, my thoughts and love are with you too. My heart, love, and prayers are with all of you.
Marshall Lewis left a message on October 2, 2012:
Many long years ago, when I was bumbling about lost and confused, Jon was one of the first people to welcome me in out of the cold. Out of all of the dear friends I eventually made, he was the first to make me feel truly at home. His raucous wit, his conspiratorial snark, all combined to be both a ray of sunlight and a lifeline keeping me sane. As the years went by, and he devoted more time to his family (and thank God he did!), I saw him less and less, but every time I did, he brought a beaming smile to my face. I never really properly said it, but thanks, man. I hope that I can be as good to others as you were to me.

Dearest Darlene, We are so sorry hearing about your precious son's death. Please know we are praying for you and your family. I know you are a christian, so you will meet him again and this is our great hope of eternal life. Your friends, Janice and Richard

I first connected with Jon several years ago when he began to become interested in geneology. He and I shared information back and forth. Jon is also one of my facebook friends. His comments were always upbeat, funny, and positive. Dad got a laugh from Jon's comment when Dad was very ill a few months ago. Through our conversations, I know that Jon truly loved his family and friends. It seem we always met at funderals so all of us decided that we would have a Cousin Reunion--Jon could not come last year but assured me that he was coming this year. Sadly, that will not come to pass. However, he will be honored as we do all our cousins that are only with us in our hearts. I hope that all relatives and friends of the Toomeys, Wood, Dearmond, Morgan families reading this will attend our reunion this year on October 19th at Webb's Family Restaurant in Lewisburg, KY beginning at around 5:30. Jon, dear soul, I know that you have gone on to a happier place but the world is a less brightly colored place with your loss. Much love, Marilyn

Darlene and family, So very sorry to hear about Jon. I remember him from his Lake Malone School days, always a very polite and sweet kid as was Nick and Chris. Jon was in my son Jay's class, it breaks my heart to think about losing a son that is so young. Our prayers are for you and his family and friends, may God bless and comfort you all during this time.

Jon, we are all so heart broken over losing you. Things will never be the same. We love you so much and plan on making sure all of the kids never forget you... which it will be hard for them too with your number two running around. We will all for sure make sure that Gabe and Bridge is taken care of. Until we see you again just know that we will miss you more than words can say.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I never met a kinder, more giving man, always true to himself and thinking if his family. A true gentleman, and so very talented. I will miss you, Jon. I am grateful I knew you. God bless you.
rita mallory left a message on October 1, 2012:
My heart is broken for Jon's family. I never saw Jon when he didn't have a smile on his face or when he couldn't make me smile. He was the essence of a true friend. He was the same no matter where you saw him. Even when he was having a day when he didn't feel so well, no one would have known it, he was a true ray of sunshine. He will be missed by all who knew him and to all who knew him, he was known as a friend. RIP dear friend, we'll all meet again someday and there will be no more sickness, no more pain.

You were the best of neighbors...Friendly, caring, nice. I remember the first couple of nights into your new house, Jon invited me and my kids over for dinner. It was great to have such great neighbors, though it didn't last as long as I had wanted it to. Jon was a wonderful dad to Gabe and an amazing husband to Bridget. I'm glad that Gabe will have memories of his daddy...He was a wonderful man. I'm sorry Bridget, Gabe and Darlene. Remember though, you now have an angel in heaven...And he'll always be watching over the three of you. If you need anything, you have my number...Please do not hesitate to call. Love ya'll.

Jon was such a great guy!!!! Always had a smile on his face and never failed to make me laugh! Usually only seen him at family reunions, wish it had been more often! He lived life to the fullest and didnt let his sickness run his life! The world needs more people like Jon Toomey! We lost an angel on Sunday but Heaven gains our loss! Bridget I am so very sorry, and if there is anything I can do for you please let me know! We love you!

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of a great friend who I would be glad to call my brother. His nickname for me was Sissy.. and I would call him Bub. Words cannot begin to express my sympathies to the entire family.... Wife, Son, Mother, Sisters and Brothers.... Jon will be truly missed by everyone.. As I'm writing this, it's raining outside, to me, It's Jon shedding tears for us... RIP Jon. :)

Jon's wisdom, wit and sass never failed to brighten my day. The world is a sadder place without his presence in it. Peace and healing to his wonderful family - I know from the way he spoke of you that you were the center of his life.
Lisa Hudgins left a message on October 1, 2012:
God Speed and Rest In Peace Jon. I never got the chance to say Thank You for all the times you were there trying to reach out to Dee. Royal Rangers, Childrens Church, Youth Group... anytime you were needed you were there. You set an example to others by the way you lived and the witness you were able to share with others. My heart breaks for all the Toomey family. I could not imagine the hurt you must be feeling. They say God only takes the best and the best is what he got. My prayers are with all of ya as you try in the days ahead to adjust and deal with your loss. We love ya. Please let us know if ya ever need anything...
david ables left a message on October 1, 2012:
I never met Jon in real time, but I was and is one of his many friends on the internet. He was a breath of fresh air when you were feeling down. His humor and instant reaction time were awesome. I knew him originally as Yakki(his on-line forum name), but eventualy everyone knew him as Jon. You will be missed, brother. You and your family are in my prayers. peace
