To the Lipe family, I am very sorry that I am only recently hearing of this tragedy. Jonathon and I spent much of our childhoods together, bonding over baseball and miscellaneous riff-raff that you knew we were getting into. He was a great friend and respectable young man that, regretfully, I only briefly knew as teenagers. But what of him i did know he was teeming with potential and a general happiness with life. I am so so sorry for your loss. Tony Groves
We only met him once, but he was a very respectable young man. Our deepest sympathies to all who have lost… Nick and Lynne Bitzis
We are so saddened at the loss of Jonathon. We have been looking through our many photos of him that were taken during our visits to you all. Casey & I will begin posting some to share with you. We love you.
I have so many good memories with Jonathon. I will never forget the fun we had during our visits. Doesn’t seem so long ago that we were catching frogs together. Or ganging up on everybody during that huge water fight. Or you showing me how to play on your Nintendo. And I will never forget that cheeky smile of yours. Rest in Peace, cousin. We all love you.
Kelly, May God comfort you and your family in this time of pain and sorrow.
Jon and I always had the best of times. Because we were both libras. Such an extraordinary person to get to know. From the day I became Best friends with Jon Jon I knew I could always count on him through everything. He was one amazing person, and Jon, you’ll always be in my Heart and greatly missed! I love you !
I remember Jonathon as ‘Little Jonathon’, a happy go lucky little boy running around in his diaper irritating the girls. He was such a cute little boy. I’m sorry I never got to meet the older Jonathon. John, Gayle, Amanda, we can’t begin to imagine the pain you must be going through. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Kerry & Patty Sorrell

Im am so sorry for your loss, Life is so short and in times like this we know that a young man like Jonathons has so much to offer that God has cut is time short on this earth because he know that he has a bigger and a better plan for him in heaven that he could not do here on this earth, Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
To Gayle, John, Mandy, Natalie, and all who cared for Jonathan, my love and thoughts are with you. Words simply cannot express the sorrow i feel for our family. I hope the strength that is needed to get through this time is found, so the healing of hearts can begin. My last memories of Jonathan are of a young boy who was right around the age of his cousin’s, my younger brother and sister Casey and Quinn. Whilst i didn’t have as much time to share with Jonathan as they did, i know that the memories of those times they shared are fond, and will be cherished always. Jonathan, I regret that I didn’t get the opportunity to get to know you better. It is obvious that you were a loving and fun soul who touched the lives of so many. I know that wherever you are, you will continue to grace us all with your love and silent presence. Rest in Peace cousin, all our love
To Gayle, John, Mandy and family and friends, I am so sorry that this tragedy has struck you all. It has been so long since I last saw you Jonathan, but I remember you having a kind heart and eager smile; it truly is a loss to the world. Thinking of you all, and hoping that you are peaceful now wherever you are. Lots of love cuz
The last memory I have of Jonathon was the last day of school. He came up to me at the end of Econ class and shook my hand and told me he was really going to miss me. That really stuck with me. I wasn’t close to too many people there. It was my first year, but he was one of the few people I enjoyed talking with. Our group of me, Jonathon, Hank, and Jordan at the end of Econ was always so much fun. I’ll never forget Jonathon.
Jon, Gayle, Mandy and Family… When it hurts to look back and you are scared to go forward, just look beside you and your best friends and family will be there for you. We are beside ourselves at the loss of Jonathon. You are in our daily thoughts, prayers and tears during this unimaginable time. When Scott and I told the kids what had happened we found ourselves sharing memories of Jonathon. All night video game playing, cookouts, boating trips and the boys getting in trouble! Thank you for giving our family the opportunity to know such a terrific young man. We love you all, Scott, Chandra, Audin, and Courlyn Sales
Gayle Lipe was added to the Family Tree.

So sorry to learn of Jonathon’s death. Prayers for all of you. Ken Turner Madison, MS
John, Gayle, Mandy and Natalie; We have heard alot about Jonathon over the years. He was exactly one month older than our son Tyler, so we often shared stories with Kelly about the two of them. It was such an honor to spend those few days with him this past summer. Please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Mike, Angie, Stacey, Steven and Tyler Arrington Augusta, Ga
