Jon Charles Depoorter

Jon Charles Depoorter (July 9, 1960 – June 27, 2020) quietly loved the simple, steady comforts of home and community in Shingletown, California. A devoted brother and longtime resident of the area, Jon made his life among friends and family who knew him as a calm, reliable presence and someone who cared for the people close to him.

Born July 9, 1960, Jon settled in Shingletown where he lived at the home many will associate with him. Those who knew Jon remember a practical, down-to-earth spirit — a person who appreciated everyday tasks, conversation on the porch, and the small kindnesses that knit a neighborhood together. Family members created a memorial to honor his life and invited others touched by Jon to share memories, photos, and condolences online.

Jon’s family asked that remembrances focus on the warmth he offered those around him rather than the circumstances of his passing. In keeping with that wish, friends and relatives have been encouraged to celebrate his life by recalling moments of companionship, tending to one another, and carrying forward the quiet generosity he showed in daily life.

He is lovingly remembered by his brothers and the wider circle of family and neighbors in Shingletown who valued his presence. The family’s memorial page has been made available for those who wish to leave a memory or message of sympathy.

Jon’s life mattered to those who loved him, and his memory lives on in the small, enduring ways he shaped the community he called home.
