Jon Edward Stansbery, 63, of Findlay, passed away Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at the Bridge Hospice Care Center in Findlay, Ohio.  He was born on February 15, 1961, in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, to the late Russell and Kathryn (Neumeister) Stansbery.  He married his wife, Maureen (Streicher) Stansbery, on July 23, 1988, and she survives in Findlay.

He is also survived by his children: Christine Stansbery, and Ross (Alissa Clowes) Stansbery; and siblings: Karen (Bruce) Merle and Deb Stansbery.  He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother Jeff Stansbery; and his dog, Rocket Stansbery, just a hour before his death.

Jon attended Bowling Green State University, earning a Bachelors Degree in 1983 and a Masters Degree in 1984.  He worked for Marathon for 34 years.  

Jon and Mo are steadfast supporters of BGSU athletic teams - with the Mo & Jon Stansbery Volleyball Court named in their honor. They are known for widely recruiting fans to attend volleyball games. Their ever-expanding volleyball fan club has enhanced the student-athletes and their families' experience. In 2017, they were presented with the Volleyball Supporters of the Year Award. 

Jon was kind, funny, welcoming, silly and vibrant and never ordered his own food.
