Jonathan Dale Pierce - Online Memorial Website

It's Christmas Eve and yesterday was Jon Dillan's 9th birthday. He started talking about you again about a year ago. I was so glad because I love when he asks questions about you. He needs to know all he can about you. He has the bow you bought Jerrett when Jerrett was his age. He has the four wheeler you bought Jerrett along with quite a few other things. I know without a doubt, if you were here, you would've gotten him all these things and more. Every holiday as he opens his gifts, I think of you and how it would be if only you were here. Thinking of you always..................love you forever............

    Another Christmas without you, but I know my family has you on their minds when we are together. There is always a blessed prayer said for the ones who are no longer with us, I dont remember them praying that prayer when you were here. I know they are thinking of you too. I love my family and I dont know where I would be without them.

    You would be so proud of the boys. Jerrett is almost a replica of you in every way. I see you in him so much. And it amazes me how much Jon Dillan is like you too. We got him a 22 rifle for Christmas. Its tiny. For 2 years he had went to sporting goods in Walmart to look at that gun. When me and Jerrett gave it to him, he was shocked and so happy. I wish I could talk to you and give you a hug. Its been 4 1/2 years and I still cant bring myself to go out with anyone. I just cant. I still love you so. One day we will be together again. 

 

                                 A Hug From God

Sometimes I think I've got it all together-
I've figured out what life is all about.
It lasts a while and then it always happens-
A curve-ball come that I can't figure out.

I struggle to find my way through all the darkness-
the more I try the harder it seems to be.
Until I reach a point of fear and desperation-
It hurts so much I fall down on my knees.

A hug from God will ease a broken heart.
A hug from God will fill your life with love.
A hug from God who is your loving father-
is always there- just look to him and pray.
Oh, God please send your loving hug my way.

The room grows quiet as tears stream down my face-
the pain inside is all taken away.
A warmth surrounds my cold and shaking body-
As God's hand wipes the tears off of my face.

A hug from God will ease a broken heart.
A hug from God will fill your life with love.
A hug from God who is your loving father-
is always there- just look to him and pray.
Oh, God please send your loving hug my way.

With deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of Jonathan Pierce!   No man deserves to be treated as he was and may his murders answer for their doings.  Best wishes for the surviving family!

Dear, sweet John,  We had a jury that was tired, didn't care or was family of the 3rd accused and they said "NOT GUILTY" on all counts. It's just not fair! By the way things came out in this trial, it looked like you may have suffered before you died. I hope and pray to God that you didn't because you did not deserve anything so cruel. I love and miss you so much.      Love, Boo Boo

John, i am so glad i came across this beautiful page of yours, I still remember when Pat (redhead from EBM) my sister told me you had passed. you always had a smile at work, and quite as a mouse until you got to know someone, and boy o boy could you talk up a storm then lol. I was happy when i heard you and Linda had gotten married, and thrilled when this page showed me your beautiful sons, and saddened at the same time for Linda and your sons. I pray that their hurt is somehow eased, me and marvin have 2 grandsons and still married after 16 yrs. who'd of thought lol. I will continue to pray for your family and Linda and your sons. I thank God that he blessed me with knowing you. Linda stay strong girl, I know you miss him, i know you hurt, i could never imagine having to go through what your going through. Let God hold you up, Bless you

John, It was so hard being in court this week. Hearing what happened and what you must have went through. You were just being the good person you were and trying to help somebody. She tried to tarnish your good name in one of her lies, but it didn't work. Those of us who knew you and loved you knows the truth. Thank God they found her GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! She will spend the rest of her life in prison! It is just a matter of time until the others get what they deserve too. We are taking care of Linda and the boys as best as we can. Jim does alot with Jon Dillan, he took him fishing last Saturday, and he caught 5 fish!! You would be so proud! We thought he was to young to remember you- but we were wrong. He talks about you all the time. it breaks my heart to see him wanting you, needing you, but you can't come. But, I know you are watching over him and guiding him. God bless You John. I Love You!     Wease

John, I didn't know you, but I do know Linda & her family.  I do believe that justice has begun to be served after the verdict today.  From what Linda's family has said, there was never a finer man could be found.  I've heard nothing but good about you from them.  I can't begin to imagine the pain your family has had to endure because of this senseless act of sin these people committed.  Linda & the boys are in our prayers.  She is surrounded by loving and caring family, that's what counts.  They will take care of her & the boys until that "Family Reunion" takes place someday.

John,  Today is a happy day, finally.  Justice was served. The first one got life plus.....I'm so glad she can't take her children to McDonald's, take them swimming, fishing, or camping, etc. the things she helped rob you from doing with your beloved sons. Jon Dillan speaks of you just about every day. I'm so sorry you are not here to see the funny and wonderful things he does. I wish we could see what was in his little head. I think he feels you near, and thank you for that.....With what was told in court, I shutter to think about what you knew, but as "the man in Bible, who was about to be stoned, he lifted his eyes to JESUS and felt no pain". I know the kind of person you were and I know when you cried and whispered His name.....JESUS, JESUS, when you knew the pain was coming, you lifted your eyes to JESUS and He took you before the pain.. Praise the Lord ! ! !  LOVE YOU ! ! !

John,

It's been over a year and a half since you left, but the pain is still there.  When I go to spend the night with Linda, it's not the same. I know she has moved, but you are still there. Your pictures, your mementos, mounted fish, is all there. Your sons will never forget their daddy. Jon Dillan is only 3 years old, but he points at your picture and says, "Daddy's gone home." He knows who daddy is, and he knows where he is. He is so precious. I know you are looking down on them. I know you have to be proud of Linda, and the great job she is doing with the boys. We are all still taking care of Linda and helping her thru as much as we can. But no matter what  we all do for her, it can never replace the love you two shared. You, Linda, and the 2 boys will always be in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you and may God Bless Linda and your 2 sons. Give Mom a hug and Kiss for me, and I will meet you both at Heaven's Gate some day.

Love, Anita

John,

I go and visit linda quite often now. She seems to be holding up pretty strong but it makes me so sad to see her and you not be there too. You were always so nice to me even when I broke some of your stuff. You would be so proud of Jon Dillan and Jerrett they are good kids! I miss you so muich but I will see you again one day! I love you!                                                                      Niki

I remember when you came home and I told you about the baby. You were so pleased. You had no doubt about being a dad again. You loved Jon Dillan before he was ever born. Even though you had a very short time with Jerrett and Jon Dillan, I will do all I can to keep your memory alive for them. You will always be their dad. Even in your absence, you are still the best dad and husband anyone could ever hope for. We miss you so much.

Yo Bubba, Whassup,

I sure have missed yor friendship. You were one of the best friends I ever had. If I ever needed andythiing, you were just a phone call away, and vise-versa. You were a hard worker, good man, good husband, good father and a good brother-in-law. Jon Dillan was so used to YOU taking him for rided on the four wheeler that a few days after the funeral, I took him for a ride, he was laughing and having a good time, then he turned and looked up at me, he had a strange look on his face. He was expecting it to be you. I could tell that he was very disappointed that it was not you. It broke my heart. I know that Jon Dillan and Jerrett both miss you very much. It tears me up knowing that they have to grow up without their dad. I thank God that they have arrested three people involved in your death, and pray that if anyone else is involved, they will get them too. ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. The truth WILL come out. You were like a BROTHER to me, and I miss you and love you very much, and I WILL SEE YOU IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY.

Bubba

Hey uncle John, I miss you so much, its so different going to your house and your not sitting there on the couch. I walk into the house and I still wanna look for you and say hi. We all miss you so much but one day we will see you again. I like to think you are one of my guardian angels now! Love and Miss you. Niki

 

I just wanted to say, that I think of John and Linda very often, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I want you to know I love you guys very much. John was a beautiful sweet spirit, he was the kind of man that would help anyone with anything any time, and be glad to help, he is missed greatly by all those that truly knew him. God bless and know I am here for you.

Love you all,

Leinna

Hey baby,

I was unpacking some things and found some pictures of you. Some was by yourself, some with me and the boys. I miss you so much. I would give anything for a hug. You haven't had a lot of visitors lately, but I will always be here. I will never leave you. I love you so much. We said "until death do us part", and I will love you, miss you and carry your memories with me every where I go until I take my last breath.

All my love

Linda

John,

      You are truly missed by your wife, boys, and the rest of the family. We know that we will see you again, soon. But sometimes it is so hard to look at Linda and the boys and not just loose it. Just wondering how they are surviving, but then you look around and you are still there. Your  pictures, your things are still there and you are there in your boys,always will be, in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. I love you John, and miss seeing your beautiful smile.
