Jon was united in marriage to Cheryl Hoffman on April 23, 1977, in New Richland.
Throughout his life he worked in many different areas, from farming to delivery, to driving forklifts. He especially enjoyed the approximate 20 years he spent delivering and selling beer for Shea Distributing out of Owatonna.
He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church and in earlier years had been a Lions Club member and a Cub Scout leader for his son’s troop.
Jon had a keen sense of humor and was known to be a great jokester. He was especially proud of being “Papa Jon” to his grandchildren, whom he so adored.
He will be greatly missed by his family, wife Cheryl of New Richland; daughter Jessica and her husband Brian Ferg and their children Avery and Camryn of Baldwin, WI, son Lucas Perry and his wife Desirae and their son Bradach of Woodbury, MN; sisters: Trudy Ingram of Deer Park, WA, Merrilee (Micky) Gravenish of Toronto, ON; sister-in-law Vicky (Dan) Ress of Chaska, MN, and many other beloved family members.
He was preceded in death by his parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law Martin and Gerry Hoffman, and brother-in-law Chris Ingram.
