His Life

Engagement to Rachel Edelman (September 10, 2021)

After a month at Memorial Sloane Kettering, Jon had left the ICU and was breathing on his own more and more. While the trip to the hospital upset Jon's original plans to propose to Rachel Edelman while on vacation in Cancun with his mother, cousins and siblings, their love was a source of strength and determination for both of them. With help from the family, Jon decorated his new hotel room and proposed to Rachel when she arrived. The staff at MSK was amazing not only in taking care of his health (even letting our literal life-saver, the amazing Gabby sit in on "rounds"), but also in bending all the rules necessary to make this happen. They even found us a harpist and scattered rose petals in the hallway of the "Step Down Unit". This was an unusual place to start their engagement but they are such a unique couple and it was so beautiful to share in their happiness.

Letter from Jon to Elon Musk (May 2015)

First off, thank you for helping to create some awesome products including the Model S. It is an amazing car. You are definitely my hero for your work redefining the future, not just the present or the past.

I know you love criticism so here is an idea that might help. People like me who use the sunroof may get frustrated when trying to open it with the steering wheel knob (as you need to rotate it 8 times). Perhaps the percent open should accelerate as you turn the knob rather than being linear. I have many other ideas for the car which I would be happy to share but that one may be the easiest one to implement.

Finally, I would like to ask you for some advice. All my life I have wanted to be an entrepreneur. I want to ultimately run a software company which creates the hardware and software for its products (much like the iPhone or the Model S). I am a 21-year old honors student at Drexel and have been developing software since I was in middle school.

My strengths are creativity, design, and mathematics. How do you suggest I get started? Should I take a break from school and try to start a company now with my own money? Should I finish going to school and then try to get a loan once I have a degree? I am talented and come from a very smart family so I believe I have at least a chance at success if I give it my best shot.

Note from Jon's friend Avi Ben-Shoshan

November 18, 2023
That yearbook page really brings back memories. Jon had a really great sense of humor and was always so easy to talk to. I remember spending hours after school video chatting with him on iChat and always having something to talk or laugh about. My mom was always happy to see him on video with me and would say hello in French. Jon was always a very good friend to me. I recently stumbled across his old youtube page from back in the day (pinkloebsta).
That video was truly a classic. I'm sure you remember the weird Jon voice he would do during those years. This video was always one of my favorites and still makes me laugh to this day. I hope you enjoy it and check out the other videos on this channel. It's a nice little time capsule. 

Eulogy by Jon's friend Toviah Botwinik

April 24, 2023
Remarks given April 20, 2023 at the dedication of a grove of trees in memory of Jon in the Ofer Forest near Haifa.
Good morning, בוקר טוב, and bonne journée to everyone, my name is Toviah, and I am proud to have been one of Jon's close friends.
I first met Jon in second grade at Perelman Jewish Day School, where we first bonded about our shared interest in math. I distinctly remember reciting prime numbers in order, until one of our parents picked us up.
There was something exciting about being friends with Jon - he brought a spirit of adventure and spontaneity, together with a desire for achievement, and kindness for all of his friends, even from a young age.
After becoming closer at Camp Galil around 2006, we, together with some friends and with Jon's parents, began a software development company, making iPhone apps.
We called our company Jitsik, and Jon led the rest of the team in developing new apps and trying to break into the fledgling market.
Thus started the long period of our adolescence, where we had many adventures, learned a lot about life, grew together, and spent countless hours in Jon's mom's basement honing our coding, math, and graphic design skills.
During this whole time, despite ups and downs of middle and high school, Jon always brought an unending spirit of enterprise to whatever he did. Jon inspired us and served as a central point of our friend group, and of Jitsik.
As we each went our separate ways after high school, we reconnected during many points to collaborate on a project, the last of which was the VR self-driving vehicle simulator. This project is actually still being continued by Helen today.
In considering the path my life ended up taking, making aliyah, becoming a Jewish educator and continuing to work in product design, I recall how much Jon was part of my life, and how much his friendship gave me and inspired me to who I am today.
His spirit of entrepreneurship, humor, and insistence on maintaining Jewish values will always stay with me. I think that for all of Jon's many friends that he made throughout his life, he will be remembered for his many kind deeds, his silly sense of humor, and his creative passion for seeking the next big adventure.

French transcript 

En mon nom Yoann Boussel, cousin de Jonathan Maïmon loeb.

Tu es depuis mes premiers souvenirs autant mon meilleur ami que mon cousin. La distance qui nous séparait était une épreuve qui nous rapprochait. Nous nous sommes toujours profondément aimé. Nous partagions les mêmes passions et les mêmes rêves.
\
Mais toi Joni, tu étais un visionnaire. Tu ressentais le monde de demain et tu y investissais corps et âme. Jitsik et Tesla en sont les preuves vivantes. Tu es l'humain le plus attachant que j'ai eu la chance de connaître. Tu as toujours été loyal et investi auprès de ceux que tu considérais comme tes proches.

Tu savais apprécier les choses simples de la vie: un bon bain, contempler les paysages, taper dans ses main à l'heure pile, un bon câlin, de la bonne musique.

Tu es mon modèle d'humanité et de réussite. Au nom des 3 mousquetaires, tu es le plus vaillant et combattant d'entre nous. Toute notre vie nous servirons ta mémoire. Les 3 mousquetaires ne disparaîtront jamais, tu es gravé à vie dans nos têtes et sur nos corps. David equal Jon equal Yoann.

Tu nous as appris la vie, nous te sommes redevables.

Tu étais une personne hors du commun joni. Repose en paix, nous t'aimons et servirons ta mémoire le restant de notre vie.

Un pour tous, tous pour un.

Je t'aime. Yoann

English transcript 

In the of name Yoann Boussel, cousin of Jonathan Maimon Loeb. Jon, You are since my first memories as much my best friend as my cousin. The distance that separated us was a test that brought us closer. We have always loved each other deeply. We shared the same passions and the same dreams.

But you, Joni, were a visionary. You could envision the world of tomorrow and you invested your heart and soul in it. Jitsik and Tesla are living proof of that.

You are the most endearing human being I have ever had the chance to know. You were always loyal and invested in those you considered as your loved ones.

You knew how to appreciate the simple things in life: a good bath, contemplating the landscape, clapping your hands bang on the hour, a good hug, a good music.

You are my model of humanity and success.

In the name of the three musketeers, you are the most valiant and the best fighter among us. All our lives we will serve your memory. The 3 musketeers will never disappear, you are engraved for life in our heads and on our bodies. David equals Jon equals Yoann.

You taught us life, we owe you.

You were an extraordinary person, Joni. Rest in peace, we love you and will serve your memory for the rest of our lives.

One for all, all for one.

I love you. Yoann
