Jon Paul Loomis

Jon Paul Loomis, 61, of Butte, Montana, and Guadalajara, Spain, passed away suddenly on May 1st, 2026, with his loving wife, Marisa, and their son, Brandon, by his side.

Jon was born on February 15, 1965, to Mary and Roland “Buck” Loomis. He grew up in the nurturing embrace of his maternal grandparents, Jed and Lucille Hoopes, where lessons of kindness, resilience, and hard work became part of the fabric of his character. Through the loving influence of his aunts and uncles, Jon blossomed into the caring and compassionate man so many came to know and love. Some of his fondest memories were made alongside Grampa Jed in the Highlands, where searching for gold revealed treasures far greater than anything found in the earth.

A proud graduate of Butte High School’s Class of 1983, Jon soon exchanged his cap and gown for a military uniform, serving honorably in the United States Air Force. While stationed in Spain, he met the love of his life, Marisa. Together, they shared more than three decades of adventure, partnership, and unwavering love, building a beautiful life centered around family and the joy of raising their son, Brandon.

Jon was preceded in death by his beloved grandparents, Jed and Lucille Hoopes; his mother, Mary Childs; his cousin, Patrick O’Connell and brother-in-law Mat Metcalf. His stepfather, Arthur Childs passed away a few days after Jon.

He is survived by his wife, Marisa, and son, Brandon, who live in Guadalajara, Spain, his father, Buck Loomis (Anne Gret) of Butte. His siblings—Amy Metcalf of Idaho Falls, ID, Ginger Lienemann (Ryan) of Billings, MT, and brother KC Childs of Idaho Falls, ID as well as a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends whose lives were forever enriched by knowing him.

We invite all who knew Jon to join us in a Celebration of Life, to be held at 11:00 am, Monday, June 8, 2026, at Wayrynen-Richards Funeral Home. This will be a time to reflect on his generosity, kindness, and the joy he brought into our lives as we honor a man who touched the hearts of so many.

So, let us remember Jon with fondness, laughter, and an appreciation for a life well-lived. He may have departed from our sights, but he will forever dwell in our hearts. Rest in peace, Jon, we will carry you with us always.
