I was so sorry to hear about JON HUB passing he was great person and a great colleague to work with, please accept my condolences .
My heart aches as we navigate this new reality. Uncle Jon was and will forever be one of the greatest men to ever walk the earth. His laughter filled the room, his stories brought our family history to life, & his advice carried the kind of wisdom you only get from living fully & loving deeply…& boy he LIVED & LOVED Life. There are some people that are in our lives and quietly change us forever… for 37 years He was one of those people to me. He had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, & loved. He was an incredible drummer & “Wipe Out” was his absolute favorite to play… Growing up, I remember he would drive up to surprise us just because he missed us and wanted to give hugs & say I love you in person. At our cottage, He would always make Mickey Mouse pancakes and take us in the boat on the water. Throughout my life, He was a 2nd Dad & a protector: especially in the seasons when my Dad worked 2nd & 3rd shift. As we grew older, he would give us space as we needed to learn more about who we were (or he’d jump on the hood of the car when I was on a date because he wanted to embarrass me and didn’t like the guy). From root beer floats to playing cards and sharing our hearts, our conversations deepened. We’d laugh until we cried and laugh even more. The memories and stories are endless. Even though we were his nieces, He chose to invest in us and was always so active in our lives. He continually showed up and loved us even when we felt unlovable. His magical hugs could cure any heartbreak. He was a safe place, a cheerleader, a confidant, a role model and often the voice you wanted to hear when life felt overwhelming. He taught me the importance of kindness, faith, courage to show up and live as a wild “untamable” Norwegian—that life isn’t just about the destination, but all the messy adventures inbetween — these lessons will live on in my heart forever. Though the world feels quieter without him, I know his legacy of love and strength will echo through every memory, every laugh, and every story we continue to share. He may be gone from this earth, but he will never be gone from us. Thank you Uncle Jon for everything. Sending all my love to Aunt Dawn and my cousins. You will never walk alone.
My deepest condolences. I will miss you dearly Buddy. Thanks for teaching me how to get up on water ski's!!! Rest in peace Jon. Love Nick
