To Lincoln’s Leathers friends and family:
I (Mackenzie) bring the worst news I could imagine giving you all. With great sadness, I have to let you know that my dad, Jon, was in a motorcycle crash this past Sunday and despite the efforts of the EMS and ER staff, he did not make it.
I was able to speak to a handful of our art show and pen show friends over the past few days. I know I can’t call everybody. Thank you to those who already knew, for the support you’ve given me and my siblings.
While this has been an awful past few days, I do have to thank the Lord for comfort and providing lots of support for us in family, my friends, his friends, his friends I grew up knowing and can now call my friends, the company he worked for/people he worked with, my church…
Hopefully you all can find comfort in the fact that 8 strangers pulled over to attempt to help and if nothing else, comfort him until emergency services got there and until the ambulance drove off. I can never thank those 8 people enough. Thankfully I was able to thank the one who called 911 and me.
The future of Lincoln’s Leathers is unclear to me at this time. I know that my dad would tell me I am not allowed to make any decisions right now. Through all of this, I have been able to clearly know what Dad would tell me to do, and that’s been a blessing and proof of the relationship my dad worked hard to build with me my whole life. And right now, Dad would tell me to take my time.
I haven’t figured out how to put a banner or pop up on the website yet, but any orders placed may not go out for a while. Part of me wants to take the site down completely, at least for a while, but I am trying not to.
When arrangements are finalized I will post about it. I do not expect anyone from this page to come, or want anyone to feel like they have to for me or my family, but I want everyone to have the opportunity to grieve if they need/want to. While this loss is greatest for me and my family, I know we are not the only ones who have lost someone.
Service information can be found here. Full obituary will come soon.
