Jon Baldwin had many friends around the world and disc golf community that he touched with his compassion, his expertise, and his photogenic eye. There are no words to describe how saddened I am that his light will never shine again. I am proud to call you my friend. May you have found that peace you desired, you were and always will be loved. For all of you out there who face daily struggles, trying to find some sort of positivity in this place where we live, I will be there for you, should you ever need it.

Let’s make the most of this time of comradery and competition in his memory.
