The Backstory
On Christmas morning this year, a pillar of support to many fell. Coach Jon Boone unexpectedly died on 12/25/2018 at St. Vincent’s hospital due to several brain hemorrhages. Doctors assured us that there was nothing anyone could have done to stop it. He was a teacher, coach, friend, neighbor, and beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, son, and brother/son-in-law.
- Coaching -
Coach Boone touched many lives during his more than 30 years of teaching and coaching. Coaching a variety of sports at a variety of levels, and his personality reflected that. His intensity level was high. One moment he would be screaming at you about making a mental mistake, and the next he’d be pulling you in for a hug.
- Teaching -
As a teacher he was dedicated to each student individually taking the time to learn each of their stories, strengths, and weaknesses. He stashed power bars in his desk for the hungry, made students laugh with his surprising jokes and innate humor, and his classroom provided a safe haven for many who needed it.
- Family -
He was the definition of a family man. He was the handyman, the hugger, and the one who always ‘had a guy’. He had a solution for everything, even if it was duct tape. He worked hard to make his family’s life better. Conversations usually ended with a squeeze and a ‘I love you’.
How You Can Help
Coach Boone’s sudden passing has left his wife, Lisa Boone, living in a single income home. Those who knew Coach Boone know he would be heartbroken to see his soulmate lose their home and her independence. For those who wish to do so, please donate to support Lisa so she can remain in their family home and maintain the quality of life Coach Boone would want her to continue to have.
