Jon will be remembered as a hardworking, generous, and devoted man whose life was centered on faith and family. He was great at working with his hands and especially enjoyed woodworking, a skill that reflected both his talent and his steady, industrious nature.

He owned and operated his own business, and throughout his life he used his abilities not only to build and create, but also to help others. His generosity and willingness to lend his skills wherever they were needed left a lasting impression on those who knew him.

He also found great joy in the outdoors. Jon loved fishing and duck hunting, pursuits that brought him both peace and pleasure over the years. He and his wife, Brigitte, spent much of their time traveling together, making memories through the experiences they shared. A devoted Catholic, Jon carried his faith with him throughout his life, and it remained an important part of who he was.

Above all, Jon loved spending time with his family. He especially cherished the moments he was able to spend with his grandchildren, who brought him tremendous pride and happiness. His presence in their lives, and in the lives of all who loved him, will be deeply missed.

Jon is survived by his son, Jon Henry (Denise) Yust Jr.; his daughter, Carolyn (Dominic) Cammarata; his stepson, Thomas H. Polster; and his stepdaughters, Tina Woodland and Alexandra (Jim) Weston. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Alayna Polster, Margo (Jake) Young, Drew Weston, Tyler (Morgan) Overton, Drake Weston, Dru Cammarata, and Trenton Yust; and by his great-grandsons, Connor Young and Tucker Young. He is further survived by his brothers, Larry (Barbara) Yust, Harold (Linda) Yust, and Frankie Yust, who was married to the late Lise; his brother-in-law, Michael Reide; and a host of other family members and friends who will continue to hold his memory close.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Brigitte Yust; his grandson, Henry Dunavan; his father, Frank Yust; his mother, Francis Yust; and his sisters, Joanne (Richard) Tubbeson, and Judy Reide.
