Jonathan "Jon" W. Markley

Jonathan W. “Jon” Markley, 39, of Claysville, PA passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, September 19, 2021. Jon was born on March 18, 1982, a son of Michael (Rebecca) Markley, of Washington, and the late Paula Ann Reilly-Markley. On November 28, 2003, he married his high school sweetheart, Michelle Riggle, of Prosperity. They made their home in Claysville for the past seventeen years. They have a son Mason, sixteen, and daughter, Paige, eight, who were the light of his life. A 2000 graduate of McGuffey High School, Jon also was a graduate of Vo-Tech for Masonry. For the past twenty years, he has worked in the warehouse of Komatsu, formerly Joy Mining, in Meadowlands. His greatest passions in life were his children and family, and his strong faith in the Lord. He loved his pet Doberman, Brandy, was a great friend to many, and his sense of humor will be missed. Jon enjoyed hunting, collecting guns, knives, and watches, but his true love was for Harley Davidson Motorcycles. Surviving are siblings Onilee (Bill) Moore, of Washington, Ashlee (Zach) Stringer, of Springhill, FL, Melanie (Bud) Lytton, of Amity, Steven (Becky) Shoup, of Washington, and Rachel (Scott) Chunko, of Washington; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Paula Ann Reilly-Markley; baby brother Michael Markley, Jr.; maternal grandparents Annabelle and James Reilly; and paternal grandparents, Mary and Robert Markley. The family is asking for thoughts and prayers as they grieve. Friends will be received on Wednesday, September 22, 2021, from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., in the William G. Neal Funeral Homes, Ltd., 925 Allison Ave., Washington, where a service will be held at 11:00 a.m., on Thursday, September 23, 2021, with Pastor Michael Roach officiating.
