Obituary of Jon Jesse Monroy

Jon Jesse Monroy, 72, of Apple Valley, MN, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2023, surrounded by his family and loved ones.  Jon grew up in Chicago, where he lived for many years.  Later, he and his son Scott, moved to Minnesota, where he lived for the rest of his life.  Jon worked in animation for a number of years until he found his true calling as a firefighter/paramedic.  He truly loved his work and also enjoyed learning as much as he could about history and the military.  Jon will be dearly missed and always remembered.

Jon was preceded by Antonia Monroy and Anne Monroy.  Jon is survived by his son, Scott, married to Leah, and their two daughters, Vivian and Willa, his daughter, Mandy, married to Kyle; and their two children, Ally and Ryley.  Jon requested a Celebration of Life to be held in his honor as opposed to traditional funeral services.  We request all of Jon’s loved ones to join us in celebrating his beautiful life at Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776 on June 2 at 2:30 pm.
