Jon L. Herwy

Jon L. Herwy, 74, of Woodstock, went to his heavenly home on March 28, 2025. He was born on August 27, 1950, to Louis and Edith Herwy in Chicago.

He married his best friend and the love of his life, Linda Schroeder, on October 23, 1971, at Immanuel Lutheran Church of which he was a member. God blessed them with three daughters, Kristi (Rick), Jenifer (Jason), and Heather (Jim), whom he loved very much. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Connor, Christian, Michelle, Brennon, Allison, Matthew, Jonathan, his step grandchildren, Celeste, Luke, and Levi; many loving sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his father-in-law,Charles M. Schroeder and mother-in-law, Evelyn Schroeder; his brothers-in-law, Russell and Charles A. Schroeder and Buddy Ryan; his son-in-law, Ryan Larson, and former son-in-law, Wayne Carnehl.

Jon enjoyed the beauty of the world God created – the sunrises and sunsets. He enjoyed car shows, hot air balloons and air shows, gardening and just being outside.

His prayer was that all his loved ones would come to saving faith in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 says If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

A visitation will be on Tuesday, April 1, from 10:30am until a funeral service at 11:30am at The Pointe Outreach Center, 5650 Northwest Hwy, Crystal Lake. Burial will be at McHenry County Memorial Park, Woodstock.
