I have yet to meet anyone who would light up a room and take center stage like Jon could. He was the Master, and he knew it. The Whitaker boys represented, Technick, me, Colin, and Shoei. I know we've all gone our separate ways, but everything Nickatilynx taught us still resonates in our lives. We all agreed his most precious quote was "An excuse is a reason for failure". We learned that if you fuck up, you fuck up, that's how you learn. But if you need an excuse, you won't learn anything.

He lived the life of six men. He burned brighter than those around him, he was one in a million. So much of what you see now is due to him, from PPS being higher, to email marketing, to the earlier AVS site building, to early SEO, and more.

Rest in peace Brother. We'll see each other again.
Sounds like an awesome guy may his family find solace and may he R.I.P.
