Jon Helzer

Born in Monroe, Jon was the son of James and Amy (Witte) Helzer. A 1996 graduate of Monroe High School, Jon was active with the Chess Club while in junior high and high school, and in fact were the State Champions in 1995. He then attended Monroe County Community College. Jon worked as a Computer Technician at Holcim. He enjoyed video games, reading books and playing chess, but his most treasured times were those spent with his family. Jon leaves to cherish his memory his parents: James and Amy Helzer of Maybee; a sister Bethany (Shawn) Serbin of Miller Place, New York; aunts and uncles: Jane York, Eileen Bogoski, Gary (Winie) Witte, Carole (Gerald) Bogoski, Jill (Tony) Chacon, Shirley (James) West and Nathan Witte; as well as numerous cousins. Sadly he was preceded in death by his grandparents; Charles Witte, Alice Witte-Blum, Richard Blum, Harold Helzer, Margaret Helzer; and three uncles: Peter Bogoski, George Witte and Tom York.
