Eduardo O. Yao Jr., affectionately known as "Jon Jon," passed away unexpectedly on September 4, 2024, leaving his family and community heartbroken. Jon Jon was 40 years old. He was deeply cherished for his warmth, kindness, and generous spirit. His loving relationships with his mother Mirna, his sisters Jennifer and Michelle, and his niece and nephews were central to his life.
Jon Jon’s passing comes in the wake of the recent deaths of his father and grandfather, which has compounded the grief for his family. His mother and sisters are now left with the daunting task of managing the costs related to Jon Jon’s postmortem care and funeral services. These expenses, coupled with the need to relocate Mirna to a new home, have placed a heavy financial burden on the family, as Jon Jon did not have life insurance to cover these costs.
A fundraiser, organized by Kim Lan Grout and Jon Jon’s sister Jennifer, has been set up to provide relief for his family. So far, the campaign has raised $475 out of the $25,000 goal from four kind supporters. Donations from Joe DeBattista, Amanda Waldo, Jennifer Rodriguez, and an anonymous donor have helped begin the process, but the family still faces significant financial challenges.
The community is encouraged to contribute to this fund to help ease the financial strain on Mirna, Jennifer, and Michelle as they mourn their beloved son and brother. The family is deeply appreciative of the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time.
Jon Jon’s infectious smile and warm presence will be missed by all who knew him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
We send our deepest sympathies and prayers to Mirna, Jennifer, and Michelle as they navigate this heartbreaking loss. May Jon Jon’s light continue to shine brightly, and may we meet again.
