Jon Mark Wert, Tracy City, TN— Jon Mark Wert passed away suddenly this past Saturday, just days before his 21st birthday on Wednesday, November 13th. His untimely passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the community he touched with his kindness and ambition.
Jon Mark was a person with many aspirations. From his heroic actions during Hurricane Helene, where he assisted in clearing paths for people stranded in their homes, to his dedication as an environmental intern, security personnel, and domain manager, Jon Mark was a young man of great character. His time at SAS allowed him to travel to places like the beaches of Baja and hike the Appalachian Trail, pursuing his love for the outdoors. A dedicated Eagle Scout for Troop-14, Jon Mark was always ready to lend a hand and support his fellow scouts.
His dreams extended beyond his adventures. Jon Mark had a passion for fermentation science, which led him to pursue a degree at Appalachian State University. His ultimate goal was to create his own line of whiskey and hot sauce, a dream that his family and friends know he would have achieved. His life, though cut short, left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
In this difficult time, a fundraiser has been set up to assist his family with funeral expenses and other financial burdens. The campaign has already raised $1,700, thanks to generous donations from friends and loved ones, including $1,000 from Jordan Cudworth and other contributions from Gracie Davis, Jamie Lamb, and Madalene Barnes.
In a heartfelt tribute, Jamie Treadwell expressed, “No words can express the heartbreak. He was very loved by his family. A sweet young man with a bright future!” Angela Patterson and Sandra Farris also shared their condolences, with Patterson writing, “Continuously praying for all of his family and friends.
