Jon Winegar

Donor Hero

“My husband, Jon, tragically passed away on December 1st, 2024. He was a giving person, and I felt compelled to donate anything that could be used to help someone,” shared donor wife, Laura.   

“Jon was born on April 26th, 1965, in Othello, WA. He owned the Lake Hartwell Family Fun Center in Georgia, where many knew him affectionately as “Papa Jon.” He loved running the arcade, bringing joy to so many kids and families, seeing the smiles on their faces and hearing their laughter. He enjoyed riding his Harley motorcycle and playing pool. He was even the former president of a pool league. Jon was a beloved husband, father and a vital community member.  

We Are Sharing Hope SC was respectful and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I look forward to sharing in this journey to see Jon’s impact through donation and how many people’s lives are affected.”
