Jonathan Benjamin "Jon" McClung, 60, passed away Sunday afternoon, October 2, 2016, in Ephrata, Washington, with his family by his side. He was born February 7, 1956, to Benjamin F. & Anita J. McClung in Nespelem, Washington. A lifelong area resident, Jon attended grade school in Keller, Washington and high school in Wilbur, Washington, where he was a member of the wrestling team. Jon's favorite book was the Bible, which he would spend hours reading. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life: going for Sunday rides with his family, sharing a love of classic Rock-n-Roll with his sister, Margie, spending time in the out-of-doors hunting and fishing, and "eating." Jon loved food of all kinds: from his early years eating vegetables from his family's garden and wild game shot by his crack-shot mom, to eating his favorite meal: "Cheese Burger Deluxe with Fries."

Predeceased by his dad, Benjamin Fields McClung, and brother, Randy Lee McClung, Jon will be greatly missed by his loving mom, Anita (Clint Andrews) McClung; sisters: Katherine (Paul) Braun, Margie (Doug) Donahey, Brenda Mendoza; and his numerous nephews and nieces.

A graveside celebration of Jon's life took place at 10 a.m., Saturday, October 8, 2016, at the Tunk Creek Community Cemetery, Riverside, Washington.
