Jono lived to cheer on his Eagles and never missed a beat to give all the Cowboy Fans a hard time. Just as much as Jono loved to give his family a hard time about the Dallas Cowgirls, Jono looked forward to receiving the same banter from them about his Eagles. Jono was an avid fan of all things from the Jordan brand. Jono never passed on a chance to get a new pair of Jordan’s, nor did he ever pass on a chance to show them off.  Jono had an infectious smile that made him loveable to everyone that he came across. Never having met a stranger, Jono had many of friends, and even more cousins that he claimed throughout the community whether they were kin or not.
