Jonathan R. Turner was born Feb. 15, 1978, in Galesburg, Ill., to Richard R. and Patricia A. (Spring) Turner. He passed away on Dec. 8, 2020, at his home in Williams Bay.
Jon was an exceptional man, loved by all that knew him. Whatever Jon did he did to excellence and worked hard with a joyful attitude. Although he was a talented athlete, and gifted in many areas of his life, what set Jon apart was his love for Jesus. He wanted everyone he came into contact with to know that Jesus saves.
Jon loved his wife Jasmin, his children, and anyone who needed a friend. He loved well and often, always putting others before himself and when thanked Jon was quick to flash one of his amazing smiles and say, “it was my pleasure.” He was a humble man and will be fiercely missed by all that knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Jasmin Marie (Bonnstetter) Turner, whom he married on May 27, 2001, in Chicago; his children, Abel, Ashton, Wyatt, Hope, Joshua, Whitney and Isaac; his parents, Richard and Patricia; sisters Jami (Brian) McGarry and Ariann (Todd) Henderson; brother-in-law, Eric Hahn; as well as many nieces and nephews. Jon had more family then there is room to in writing and loved and treated many like his own children.
He was preceded in death earlier this year by his sister, Nikki Hahn.
