Jon C. Sivly died on July 15th, 2011 surrounded by his family. Jon was born in Rochester, MN on June 21st, 1944 at St. Mary’s hospital to John and Roslyn Sivly. He grew up in Rochester and graduated in 1962 from John Marshall High School where he was captain and a star of his basketball team. He also went to Rochester Junior College. He met and married his high school sweetheart, Pamalia Breault; they were united in marriage on June 19th, 1965 at St. Pius Church in Rochester. Jon began work at St. Mary’s hospital and later joined the Mayo Clinic where he worked for 42 years. He also served in the United States Army Reserve as a Staff Sergeant. Throughout his life, Jon thrived in sports from basketball, softball, broomball, bowling, snowmobiling, and racing motorcycles and cars. Jon was born to ride since he was 14 years old. He owned and rode various motorcycles including a 1972 BMW and his 2000 Honda Goldwing where he and his wife spent many miles enjoying the scene and life on the road. They especially enjoyed the Sturgis Bike Rally for the past 15 years and were known to stay in Dead Wood, South Dakota where they were well known and met many friends. He is a life-time member of the Elks Club where he enjoyed playing pool and socializing with everyone. He was also a member of the Ronald McDonald Cruise Committee for four years where he was passionate in raising funds for kids and their families.
Jon is survived by his wife Pamalia, his oldest son John, his twin daughters SeAnn and Shawn of Seattle, his youngest son Shad (Angela) Sivly, and his twin granddaughters, Camryn and Caitlyn Sivly. He was preceded in death by his parents and triplet granddaughters.
Jon will be greatly missed by his family and friends. His sense of humor, connecting with people and willingness to always help others will continue to live through his spirit. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to the Ronald McDonald House.

One of my fondest memoires of Mark & Jenna's open houses was seeing my friend "Yonnie" and Pam pull up on his immaculate bike. Will miss you always, dear Jon. My Deepest Sympathies, Pam and family-
My sincere condolences to Pam and family. Jon and I have known each other since grade school at Jefferson. I'll always remember when Jon would come over to my house after school and my mother would insist on his sampling her chocolate chip cookies and I did the same at his house. Jon always had a great sense of compassion and caring as was made quite apparent when he spent a few minutes visiting my mother at St. Mary's Hospital when she was severely ill last year and also by the nice card he sent me when Mom passed away last March. Thanks for the memories, Jon. The Lord has reserved a special place for you.
I WAS A BARTENDER AT THE ELKS FOR MANY YEARS, JON AND I TALK ABOUT MOTOR CYCLES ALOT, I GAVE HIM A HARD TIME ABOUT BUYING A HARLEY, HE WAS A REAL GOOD PERSON, WHO ALLWAYS HAD TIME TO SAY HI TO ME, AND EVEN SEEN JON IN STURGIS, JUST WANT TO SAY I WILL SEE YOU ON THE OPEN ROAD SOME DAY, JON LYNCH
Pam, John, SeAnn, Shawn and Shad, I'm so sorry for you loss, which came much too soon. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all! Caity and Cam love their "silly" grandpa and the times they spent with him. They always looked forward to pizza night with grandma and grandpa, especially when grandpa would no doubt spend enormous amounts of money playing the claw-machine to win them stuffed animals. As a result, they have a huge collection which will remind them of him every time they look at them. We will miss and never forget him!
Pam, my sympathies to you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Rita (Penning) Fox
My sympathy goes out to all of you. The last time Jon and I visited, he told me..."I'm on borrowed time and I cherish every minute of it". And I knew that he meant that.
He will certainly not be forgotten. He was a kind and caring man.
Pam Koster
Our family sends hugs to Pam, little Jon, Seann, Shawn, and Shad and their families. I will never forget the grimace Jon always gave me when I stopped over to see the girls or the ride on his cycle on my wedding day. You are a good man and will be greatly missed. Thank you for everything.
Jon and I were friends in high school. What I appreciated about him the most was his fairness and his sense of humor. I remember watching him score a ton of points in one quarter, setting the school record. We have had conversations at every high school reunion and I was impressed with his wish to help people and do good.
He left us too soon. Joel Barker
Jon helped me with my first motorcycle, a 1957 Triumph Tunderbird. That was in the summer of 1962. We were always friends in HS but lost touch over the years. I have fond memories of Jon, his 406 1962 Galaxy and various bikes. Good by Jon. I'll see you soon, my friend.
