                     That Smile

You made us laugh, you made us cry

Your smile a gift to all.

You loved so well, we couldn’t tell

Your heart about to fall.

You towered high, above the sky.

Yet humble, meek, and kind

Your words so soft, your easy way

You seldom spoke your mind.

Above, below, you faltered none,

You never let us down.

“I’ve got your back – you go ahead”

Soft landing to the ground.

They loved your ways, they loved you whole,

You had their backs, as they had yours.

Sunshine, rain, land, or sea

Through many a task, they all could see.

The pipes you played for all to hear,

They rang throughout the land.

Your gifts you shared in quiet ways,

Your kind deeds, numbered like the sand.

Your light it shone, despite the fear,

You never let it out.

You laughed and cried but all the while,

Honor, duty, sacrifice, no doubt.

We dreamed a lifetime would be ours

Of friendship, toe to toe.

Our memories how precious now

Tucked safely, fiercely, guarded so.

We love you Jon, our hearts do ache,

For times to be relived.

Until one day, we meet again,

Watch ore us, help us live.

We loved you then, we love you now.

We miss you all the while.

Till Heaven’s gate is open wide

And, once more, we see that smile.

Jon's light will continue to shine bright, and his legacy live on in so many. 

Thank you, Buchan family, for sharing this wonderful young man with us.

I knew Jon as Kimberly and Lindsay’s little brother. Kimberly and Lindsay both babysat for our 4 children. Jon would sometimes come by to hang out with them. My oldest, Noelle, shared that she remembered Jon being the only one to get our youngest. Josie, to swing high. Noelle said one day she came around the corner of our yard as she heard Josie laughing and saw that he was pushing her very high and she loved it! Jon was sharing his adventurous spirit and smile. 

The Buchan family has had a special place in my heart since Kimberly was in Kindergarten. Our hearts break at the loss of Jon. We continue to pray that God will give you peace and comfort now and as the days go on. 

Loving, 

Kim Ciaciuch and family

From first grade birthday parties, to sixth grade graduation, and mine and Casey’s wedding. Jon was the best person and had such a contagious smile. He was a hero to all and a friend to many and will forever be missed.

I remember John with friend  Troy at Hume and at church. I especially loved hearing John played those beautiful bagpipes. Went to the Habit with John and Troy and Danelle one evening after church. That night I told John I would pray for him as he was planning to serve in the military.  Thankful that I had that opportunity and that I did pray for him.  Praying for comfort for his family and friends during this heartbreaking time.

We are so blessed to know the Buchan family! Their children were so welcoming when we moved here and were eager to assist us. I remember Jon when he was a teenager and even at that young age he had qualities that were instilled in him that most men don’t have today!Such a beautiful young man who achieved so much! All our love and prayers! The Samouels

Jon getting ready to do an open water fin during a 1st Recon Bn PT event. In the photo he is surrounded by his Platoon mates probably lightly being made fun of for what he had to wear during the event, but he took it with a smile on his face because he knew he had our support and he was going to crush the event!
