Obituary of Jon Mcdonald

Jon Mcdonald, 69 , of Royse City TX, passed away on June 18, 2022 in Royse City, TX.

Jon was born on August 8, 1952, in Odessa Texas to L.E. and Arlene and was the youngest of their three children.

Jon was an avid outdoorsman and loved to fish, hike, and go camping. He was a wonderer and loved to travel. His favorite stories to tell were those about him hitch-hiking across the country or hiking the Grand Canyon. He traveled to every state in the Union except Alaska, and he lived in many places along the way. He was like a talking atlas and there wasn’t any place he couldn’t tell you how to get to whether it was in Texas or California.

Jon also loved music of all kinds and playing pool. In his recent years, Saturdays were for playing pool with his brother Rick. He would leave the house and say, “I am going to beat him today” and when he would return he would hold his fingers in the air and say “I was this close to beating your Uncle Rick today. “

Jon is survived by his Daughter Stephanie and husband Jon of Royse City TX Son Collin and wife Krystal of Weatherford TX Grandchildren Allie and Blake of Weatherford TX Brothers Rick of Rowlett Tx and James Of Rhome TX Sister Janet of Sacramento, CA Nieces Deidra and Taylor and Nephews Ryan and Alec Countless other family members Jon was preceded in death by his Brother Carl Wife Leslie Mother Arlene Father L.E.
