Jon continued his love for construction joining Canad Inns in Winnipeg at corporate head office as their director of construction and renovations.

 

Jon’s love of all-things construction led his path to PreCon Builders where Jon was a senior project manager and eventually became a partner.

 

Jon has so many passions, loves and interests from anything IT to learning CAD design. He loved to cook, fish, shoot his new rifle, and just loved life. Jon had a particular love with wood and could create beautiful pieces of furniture, was known to build a deck at the lake in a day. Mostly Jon created whatever Joyce brought to him to make for family and friends out of wood.

 

Jon leaves behind an unbelievable amount of friends from work, lake, home, and anyone in between.
