To those offering prayers, Thanks! My cousin did not deserve to die. This was a senseless act of violence, that did not have to happen. Jon was protecting his community and all these cowards had to do was slow down. Would that have been so hard to do? I truly believe that justice will be served and that these young boys will have to live with this for the rest of their lives---that they made the choice to take my cousins life---and that they will meet their judgement day soon! Jon was a caring and loving father, son, uncle, cousin, friend, and so much more....he was only 28...so much life left for him to live and he is gone. Apologies, sympathy, or whatever these young boys have to give our family, because the "messed up" will not be accepted. I hope that the families of these young boys know that they still have their boys alive, our family does not have Jon anymore. They need to consider themselves fortunate. Rest in Peace Jon, your family misses you and loves you so much!

What idiot wrote what if Jon hadn't said anything. When is it in our world that if you speak up for what is right you are beaten to death. I think these teenagers deserve the same punishment that most murderers are given, life in prison or death.
