Jon Robert Lassus

Jon Robert Lassus, 61, Vice President of Lassus Bros. Oil, left his earthly life to be with our Lord on Wednesday, March 9th, 2022. Jon was a warm, kind-hearted man that was passionate about God, Family, and Friends. Born September 25, 1960, in Fort Wayne, he worked for the family oil business over 40+ yrs, contributing in many roles.

Jon had a passion for adventure and he lived life to the fullest. He had many hobbies that included scuba diving, flying, and boating. Jon was an avid pickleball player. His greatest joy came from being on the water and delighting in daily sunsets with his wife Tonya.

Jon’s love for and pride in his family was known by all, his eyes sparkled anytime he spoke of his loved ones. He was intentional about making memories and he celebrated each day as a gift. He knew his blessings and he lived his life accordingly.

Jon leaves behind his faithful and loving family, his friends and work family within and beyond Lassus Bros. Oil. He is survived by his wife, Tonya Lassus; Sons, Ian Harris and Chase Lassus-Groll (Anna) of Grand Rapids; Parents, Jon F. and Kathy Lassus; Sister, Michele Lassus (Kenneth Benton) of Naples; Brothers, Todd Lassus and Greg Lassus (Julianne); Nephews, McCoy and Nathan Lassus; Mother-in-Law, Lonna Fredrick (James); and Brother-in-Law, Kirk Smith.

Jon’s contagious smile, gregarious laugh, and encouraging & supportive attitude will be greatly missed. He was special to so many and our lives have been forever changed just by knowing him.
