Jon Ryberg

September 10, 1957 — May 13, 2022

Jon Ryberg, 64, Cherry Valley, died Friday, May 13, 2022 in the comfort of his home surrounded by his loving family. Born September 10, 1957, son of Reverend Ralph and Margaret Ryberg. Jon enjoyed his childhood in Mt. Morris and forever considered himself a "Mounder". He graduated from Washington High School in Milwaukee and received his Bachelor's Degree from Carthage College, where he served as President of Tau Sigma Phi fraternity, 1978/79. Jon owned ServiceMaster by Ryberg, 1995-2011. He was currently employed by ServiceMaster DSI where he is remembered as a consummate professional who always led by example. Jon married Sally Truitt in Rockford on New Year's Eve, 2010.

Jon was a strong supportive figure to his family, friends and co-workers. He was thoughtful, caring and always willing to lend a helping hand. When he saw a need, he stepped up to help and serve. Jon had a quiet demeanor, an infectious smile and a quick witted sense of humor. He possessed a fierce work ethic and drive. Jon was passionate about golf and a lifelong Packer fan. He was looking forward to retirement this year, when he'd have more time to enjoy the things he loved; his family and active role as papa to his "girlies", golfing as much as possible and frequent trips to Indian Rocks Beach.

Survivors include his wife Sally; children Robert, Kristin (Garrett Reese) and Jonny; step-son Matthew (Katie) Cecchinelli; granddaughters, Genevieve and Illa Cecchinelli, brother, Eric Ryberg, sister, Christine (Jim) Scotton; brother-in-law, John (Dawn) Truitt; sister-in-law, Kathy (Paul) Caccamo; nephews, Kyle Ryberg and Tony Scotton, niece, Amanda (Todd) Catlin and great nieces Adeleine, Brinn and Ellie Catlin.
