Jon was born on Sept. 23, 1950, in Ionia, Michigan to Charles and Irene Booth. Jon was preceded in death by his parents; as well as Charles and Michelle Sterba, Joshua Phillips, Bryan Byrne and James Byrne. Per Jon’s request cremation has taken place. Jon will be forever cherished by his wife, Joyce Byrne; and family, Danielle Byrne, Theresa Schmidt, James (Dena) Byrne, Sean (Kathy) Byrne, William Byrne Jr., and Patricia Phillips; brothers, Charles (Mary) Booth, Gary Booth, Dennis (Karen) Booth; and sister, Mary (Bob) Termolen; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. A service to celebrate Jon’s life will be held at Lehman Funeral Home, 220 Rich St., Ionia on Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2015, at 2 p.m. Relatives and friends may meet with his family an hour prior to the service. Jon’s nephew Neil Booth will officiate. Interment will take place in the spring at Woodard Lake Cemetery, Ronald Township with a memorial service following afterward at the farm. Jon enjoyed traveling the back roads of Michigan, doing intense research into EVERYTHING, especially as a strong advocate for handicap rights and independent living. Jon was a man of deep faith, and looked forward to his weekly Bible Study Group with his family and friends. Jon loved the sunshine and could often be found outside on the deck, leaning back in his chair soaking it all in. He never let being paralyzed or in a wheelchair stop him from journeys into the woods on his own, going to car shows, and could often be found giving the youngest family members rides on his foot-pegs.
