Jon Galen Francis, 59, of Blue Springs, Missouri passed away on Sunday, August 1, 2021. At Jon’s request, no formal memorial, or funeral services will take place.
Jon was born October 20, 1961 in Kansas City, Missouri to Ted and Judith (Lucas) Francis. A husband, father, brother, and friend. A simple, easy going, fair man with few words would describe Jon. A perfect day would include mowing some grass, working around the yard, and then a nice night in with a well done steak jamming out to some music videos. He has been consistently described as having a level head and strong integrity, but shown through his humble demeanor sums it all up.
Jon is survived through his wife Kerri of 37 years; son, Zane (32); daughter, Janell (29); Teddy (family pup); Father, Rev. Ted Francis; and Jon’s siblings Zane, Penny, and Ty (Ronda, Kyle, Cole).
We love you always.
Arrangements: Royer Funeral Home, Grain Valley, MO 816-847-4441

5 Aug 2021Kerri and family, My heart broke to hear the news. Jon was a part of my youth, growing up at FBC of Blue Springs. I will cherish the memories of that time. He definitely was the strong, silent type, humble and kind. I admired his work ethic and appreciated how he respected others. Whenever I hear a “Yes” song, I will think of Jon. Blessings upon you.

19 May 2022Jon is missed . He was a stable kind person. He had a lot of common sense mixed with good values . To be his friend was a privilege. I don’t know of a single person who has a bad word towards him or his legacy. A fine human being .
