He contributed greatly during these years in communities including McAllen, Mission, Brownsville, Houston and San Antonio, Texas. After leaving the priesthood, Jon married his wife of 34 years, Julie. Jon's passion for helping others never ceased. Jon continued serving in numerous ways by participating in MANY ministries and roles at St. Brigid Parish. Organizations touched by his generosity included Meals on Wheels, Dignity S.A., CORPUS S.A., and Posada Guadalupe. He diligently worked with and supported Habitat for Humanity San Antonio.

The world is a better place because Jon was in it.
