Jon&#8217;s passion for music was huge and at times all consuming which is reflected in how he is revered within the Black Metal scene.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Working with Jon on music was fun, inspiring and challenging because anyone with that drive and passion was a force and this continued after Hecate with all his musical endeavours right up to the end with the Power house Imperial Genocide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But this passion was matched with the love for his family and his close friends. A loving father and husband and son.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Our thoughts and hearts are with his wonderful family at this incredibly difficult time.
