Larger than life is the best way to describe our beloved Agustin “JonJon” Figer. JonJon lived in a way that many people could never do. He lived boldly, courageously and with as much love as he could possibly give. JonJon ensured that in everything he did, it was never done half-heartedly. He gave more than an average person could give in a lifetime.
JonJon is survived by his parents, Fabiola Figer and Agustin Figer; his wife, Kim Figer (Olan); his son, Troy Bronson; his siblings, GiGi Figer, Alvin Figer and Sister- In-Law Kirby Olan.
JonJon was born in Norfolk, Virginia on May 30, 1977. As caring as JonJon was, it comes as no surprise that he was a Registered Nurse caring for not only his patients but everyone around him. On January 13, 2013, JonJon met Kim. They quickly fell in love and married on April 15, 2016. JonJon’s dream was always to be a father, and God granted JonJon’s prayers on December 27, 2018. JonJon and Kim became the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy, Troy Bronson.
JonJon loved music. If there is one role that he loved more than any other, it was his duty as a Choir Member inside of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. He toggled between singing Bass and Tenor but often squealed at the thought of singing Descant. In true JonJon fashion, that voice stood out beautifully—just as he did. To attend a Worship Service where JonJon was a choir meant hearing his voice, and it was strong and beautiful just like him. JonJon also loved R&B, Boyz II Men in particular. Any moment he could get behind a mic, he did, and he did it just as courageously as he did everything else.
JonJon was a fashionista. He knew fashion, and he also knew the classics often admiring his timepieces and ensuring they were paired with the perfect suit. A beautiful gray double-breasted suit was the last suit ensemble he wore before his passing. JonJon often encouraged and advocated for as many dress-up opportunities as possible, especially date nights. JonJon sure loved his date nights. JonJon lived to be the husband who never hesitated to give all his energy, time and love to his wife, Kim. He was a true believer in dating your spouse and keeping the flame alive, and JonJon did a remarkable job of doing just that. He made sure that Kim felt his love. There was never a shortage of it. JonJon showed it, he expressed it, he lived it, and Kim felt every ounce of it.
If there is one thing that JonJon was a master at, it was giving his time generously. Whether it was for his family, his friends, strangers, coworkers or his Church. Jon was the epitome of the friend who walked the walk. If you were cold, he would give you the coat off his back—literally. Whatever you needed, he would give. Sometimes to a fault. He loved so hard and so deeply that many of us know—we could never live up to the love he had to give.
JonJon does not leave one legacy, he leaves many. But the biggest of them all is what he showed in the form of love to his wife and son. They were never without. JonJon gave them the world, and it showed. Kim or Troy could never doubt or question JonJon’s love and care because JonJon would never allow himself to be short. They felt it. Every second, every minute, every hour of every day. That’s just how JonJon was. He didn’t just speak it, he made sure you felt it.
Do you all know the five languages of love? If you knew JonJon, you knew them all. You knew them all because JonJon expressed his love in all those ways. Not only to his family, his wife and child but to his friends and all those he met along the way. JonJon never hesitated to show anyone love. He never hesitated to sacrifice, to give, to share, to love. That’s why his passing is so difficult for those who knew and loved him. Without JonJon, the world is a bit dimmer, a bit darker, a bit quieter, a bit colder.
But in those dimmer, darker, quieter and colder moments, remember JonJon. Live in the way he did—boldly, courageously, generously and with as much love as you could possibly give. And remember the light, strength and love that he poured, he poured from all of his heart and soul. So do the same. That’s how he would have wanted it. That’s how he would have wanted his legacy lived.
JonJon was so much better than this world, and he will be missed tremendously. He was truly larger than life.
JonJon gave this earth forty-five years, but he filled those years so fully. They were forty-five full and beautiful years.
To know JonJon is to love him. To know JonJon is to know what bold and beautiful love means. To have loved JonJon is to know unconditional love. How fortunate we all are to have experienced what JonJon offered. How fortunate we all are to have experienced JonJon’s bold, courageous and beautiful life.
