Obituary † CASWELL

Jon Frederick Caswell, age 77, passed away peacefully at home on April 18, 2019 surrounded by his loving and devoted family after a long, hard-fought and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Jon was born on May 29, 1941, in Ionia, Michigan, the son of Denard O. and Mathilda C. “Mattie” (Krellwitz) Caswell.

A lifelong resident of the Ionia area, Jon attended S.S. Peter and Paul Academy. After graduating in 1959, he continued his studies at Central Michigan University, where he was a member of the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity. Upon receiving his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from CMU in 1964, he joined the Great Lakes Naval Academy and served in the United States Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Reserves for 8 years. On July 2, 1966, he married the love of his life, Elaine Marie Stephan and together raised their family in Ionia.

After first working at the Ionia Unemployment Office, Jon then joined his father at Caswell & Company Ford dealership in 1966 selling cars. He learned early on from his father what makes a successful businessman: conscientious work ethic, treating customers fairly and treating employees like family.

Caswell & Company started out as a gas station in 1936.

Later, it expanded to become an automobile dealership in 1949, and finally included recreational vehicles. In 2002 the dealership was sold, but Caswell RV continues.

Jon was a firm believer in being involved and giving back to his community. He was an 11-year member of the Ionia Jaycees, a two-term member on the Board of Director for the Ionia Chamber of Commerce, a

member of the Ionia Area United Way for 45 years, a member of the Knights of Columbus for 40 years, a 30-year member of Rotary Club, a member of the Y.M.C.A. Board for 6 years, a 14-year member of both the Michigan Auto Dealers Association Board and the Michigan Association of Recreational Vehicles and Campground, a two-year member of the Michigan Association of Recreational Vehicles Executive Board, and a member of the Ionia Community Library Board for 10 years.

As a lifelong member of S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Jon was a lector, Eucharistic minister, served on the Parish Council for 9 years and the Parish Finance Council for 8 years. Volunteer positions he held and recognition he earned from working with the public schools include: Ionia Public Schools Co-Chair, Citizens Study Committee on Communication, Chair for the Successful Millage Campaign Renewal in 1988, recipient of the Ionia Public Schools Silver Slate Award, and the President of the Ionia Public Schools Basketball Rebounders Club.

Although his service to the business and local community is extensive, his generous and often anonymous acts of kindness toward others during his lifetime most accurately reflect the caring and humble person he was.

A voracious reader, avid sports fan, travel enthusiast, music lover and history buff with a fantastic memory, Jon had a special knack for being able to talk with almost anyone on almost any given topic. He always had a friendly smile, a relatable story, a joke and an affectionate nickname for all he knew.

As an avid sports fan, Jon especially enjoyed participating in baseball and basketball in his youth as well as watching and reading about all sports throughout his life. One of his greatest joys was watching his children, and in later years, his grandchildren participate in their various sports and activities.

Jon is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Elaine M. (Stephan) Caswell; his daughter, Lisa M. (Chad) Cole of Saline; his two sons, Christopher Jon (Rona) Caswell of East Grand Rapids and Stephen M. (Jennifer Kile) Caswell of South Lake

Tahoe, California. He is also survived by his six grandchildren who were the delight of his life: Luke, Drew and Zach Caswell of East Grand Rapids, Maddie and Jake Cole of Saline, and Lillian Caswell of South Lake Tahoe; his brother, James (Joy) Caswell of Rancho Palos Verdes, California; nephews, Ross and Evan Levy; sister-in-law, Shanna Ellsworth; and niece, Sally Jo (Stephan) Ledvina along with many cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents and nephew, Leland James Caswell.

The “Golden Rule” of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, was Jon’s deep-rooted philosophy. He will be remembered as a man of integrity, honesty, tradition and loyalty who showed kindness, humility, compassion and fairness toward others. His deep faith, love of family and many long-term friendships fostered over his lifetime were precious gifts he cherished.

The Funeral Mass for Jon will be held at S.S. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, 434 High Street, Ionia, Michigan at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, April 25, 2019.

Rite of Committal will be in Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery. The family will receive friends at Lehman Funeral Home, 220 Rich Street, Ionia, Michigan on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. The rosary will be prayed at 7:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers it was Jon’s wish that donations be made in his memory to S.S. Peter & Paul Athletic Fund, S.S. Peter & Paul School General Fund or to the Ionia Community Library.

OU Y K N A H T G I B A I’m awful proud, humble & amazed at the huge crowd that showed up last weekend to help me celebrate my 90th Birthday! I sure wish my beautiful wife Rose Ann could have been there with me to share in this glorious day!

It warms my heart to think she was watching us from heaven.

BY GOLLY! I SURE DO HAVE A LOT OF REASONS TO BE THANKFUL! First of all, I want the thank the Good Lord who’s been so kind to me throughout my life, and who blessed us all with beautiful weather [no rain or snow] last Sunday! Next I want to thank my wonderful family who’s given me a whole lot of support to get ready for this big day! I also want to thank our friends at Steele Street Hall who provided delicious food for that huge crowd [I think they must have asked Jesus to help them multiple that food!] And I want to thank my good friends who provided lively music and heartfelt prayers too. And I especially want to thank You...all my remarkable friends who came from near and far to make my big day special!

I want you all to know that I love you! And I thank God for your love for me too!

God bless you!

These are some of the familiar Easter traditions, but much more is involved with the holiday than egg hunts and brightly adorned bonnets.

For the religious, it can be important to delve into the true meanings behind Easter and let those discoveries help shape celebrations.

Easter, above all, is a religious commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the

Explore the true meaning of Easter culmination of the holy period known as Lent, and it the most significant date on the Christian liturgical calendar.

Jesus Christ was the Son of God, who fulfilled the prophesies that he would give his own life for his people so they could enjoy eternal life after their own mortal bodies perished. Easter, from Jesus’ very own words, marked a new covenant for the faithful.

According to scripture, Jesus was enjoying the Passover dinner when he sat down with his disciples. Understanding that this would be his last earthly meal and that someone close to him would betray him, he took bread and gave thanks to God for it. He broke the bread and said it was his body that should be given up so sins would be forgiven.

He did a similar gesture with wine, indicating that it was his blood that should be shed as a sacrifice for all. Christ instructed the disciples to do the same ritual in the future in memory of him.

Jesus was subsequently

betrayed and turned over to the authorities. He was sentenced to crucifixion and perished on the cross.

His body was cleansed and placed in a tomb sealed by a stone. His followers were unaware of the miracle that would ensue in the days to come. On Easter Sunday, the tomb was discovered open and empty. Jesus had risen from the dead, providing irrefutable proof that he was the Son of God. In turn, Jesus fulfilled all he was born to do and preached.

Easter did not always symbolize Christ’s resurrection when it was first celebrated.

It was once a pagan ritual of renewal and birth. However, when early missionaries began spreading Christianity’s message, the holiday — falling around the time of Christ’s actual resurrection — was adopted to commemorate the religious miracle. Today it stands as a testament to ultimate sacrifice and the promise of eternal life for all who believe in him.

People may wonder what they can do at a local level to make Earth Day a larger part of their lives. Here are just a few great ways to embrace Earth Day. Earth Day is a celebration of the planet that people, plants and animals call home. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day was established to demonstrate support for environmental protection, and events are held each year on April 22. It is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and celebrated in more than 193 countries.

People may wonder what they can do at a local level to make Earth Day a larger part of their lives.

Here are just a few great ways to embrace Earth Day. • Make it a point to bike or walk to school or work. If conditions are prohibitive, carpool to cut down on traffic. The fewer cars on the road, the less emissions in the air.

• Recycle e-waste in your home.

E-waste is considered outdated electronic appliances that are no longer used. The Environmental Protection Agency suggests e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world.

• Invest in a reusable coffee cup or water bottle. This can reduce the amount of trash that ultimately ends up in the environment.

• Connect with nature by turning off

electronics for the day and getting outside. Head to a park or nature trail and immerse yourself in the great outdoors.

• Do something as simple as switching paper statements and bills to e-bills and online invoices.

This reduces reliance on trees for new sources of paper.

• Grow some edibles in your home garden or even on a windowsill. This is a fun, eco-friendly way to control the foods you consume at home and a great way to save money as well.

• Reusing and recycling does not just pertain to water bottles and aluminum cans. Find out ways to repurpose or share items with others so they get more mileage.

Also, make use of sharing services like bike sharing kiosks or Yerdle, an online community sharing marketplace.

• Volunteer your time at an organization that has an environmental focus. Or suggest a task with an eco-friendly slant, like picking up trash from a beach, to a local community group or club.

Earth Day is a great opportunity to get involved with environmental efforts.
