<div itemprop="description">Kirchmeir, Jon Josef Morgan, was born in Edmonton on January 29th, 1965, and died quietly in his sleep on March 19th, 2013. Cherished son of Wolf and Marie (Edenloff) Kirchmeir of Blind River. Beloved brother of Cassandra and Rolf Gitt of Toronto, and Niobe and Bill Sandlin of Brownsville, Texas. Affectionate uncle of Paul, Caroline, David, Morgan, Connor, and Jonathan. Since childhood Jon lived with Addison&rsquo;s Disease and Hypoparathyroidism. He was a life-long learner. His life was enriched by music, especially Baroque, early music and Scott Joplin. He was interested in history, art, science, alternative history, and trivia. He played and designed games, and cooked for his friends. He read continuously, and shared this with his family friends, neighbours, and strangers. He enjoyed film and wrote thoughtful movie reviews. He took citizenship seriously by searching for truth, working for the candidate of his choice and by voting. His public library was important to him. He was always loyal to family and friends, and built caring relationships in his community, with the man who sold him his daily newspaper, and the butcher who sold him his veal sausage. To honour his memory we remind ourselves to practice kindness, seek truth, learn history, look for connections, value democracy, promote literacy, treasure music, solve puzzles, play games and be loyal. Family and Friends may call at PINE HILLS CEMETERY &amp; VISITATION CENTRE, 625 Birchmount Rd., Scarborough (north of St. Clair Ave. E., 416-267-8229) on Saturday, March 21, 2013 from 4-5pm with a memorial service to follow at 5pm. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Toronto Public Library would be appreciated by the family. For more information please visit www.etouch.ca</div>
