Jon Boy,
I had the pleasure of meeting Jon and the Tommys Crew at Tommy Bahamas. The Tommys Crew holds a very special place in my heart. I’m forever grateful to have been a part of the team. Jon was one a friend and even when the stress and struggles could be overwhelming he always gave me a sense of security. Jon will always be a golden boy in my book.
I wish I could have given him the same sense of security that he gave to me when I was feeling down. He certainly lifted my spirits when I was in need.
Thank you Buddy! Catch you on the flip!

I feel incredibly lucky to have known and worked with Jon during his time in Hawaii. He had such a warm, joyful spirit—always kind, always uplifting, and his hugs were the kind that made you feel truly cared for.
He had this quiet gift for listening, for being fully present, and for making you feel like you mattered. Jon was the kind of friend you could reconnect with instantly, no matter how long it had been. I’ll miss him deeply and will always be grateful for the time we shared. My heart is with his parents, who raised such a beautiful soul.

Our sincere condolences to the Franklin and Hagan family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
If you need anything please reach out to while we did not know Jon personally we do know and care about both of his families. You all were a huge part of our lives when we were younger and some still are, our hearts break for you. There are no words we can say that will take the pain away, but please know you are surrounded by so much love.

Words can hardly capture the depth of loss that the Franklin/Hagan family is experiencing right now.
Jon was truly a remarkable person who brought light into the lives of everyone he met. I feel so grateful to have shared countless weekends with him and Sean during my childhood and teenage years, filled with all-nighters with video games, fueled by Mountain Dew and whatever snacks we could find. Smothering Totino's pizza in Ranch and there was never gonna be a bag of chips that lasted long.
He was one of the finest men I've ever known, and I grew to love him as if he were family. Billie, I can't begin to imagine the pain you're going through. I wish I could offer you comfort in some tangible way, but for now, all I can do is type these words, and I hope to see you next week.
As we approach the anniversary of my father's passing, I understand the mix of emotions that can arise — the unanswerable questions, the anger, the sorrow. It's okay to feel sadness when you think of him. But in time, I hope you can find solace in the little signs that remind you of him: songs, birds, butterflies, and those warm shoulder squeezes that feel like a hug from him.
Please know that if you or Jonny need anything at all, I'm here for you. Don't hesitate to reach out, no matter what you need or when you need it.
I’m also holding Bobbie, John, Sean, Jacki, Keaira, and Aria close in my thoughts. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
Sending all my love and compassion to you during this incredibly difficult time.
