Jon Paul Trevelise lived in the West University Place area of Houston. Although West University Place is its own city, it is absorbed into the Houston metropolitan area. As a professional CPA, Jon Trevelise worked for and with many companies within Houston and beyond. Due to his winsome personality, he was effective in using his skills of business, finance, and fitness to raise charitable gifts, head major committees, and participate in cycling events for organizations like the American Red Cross, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and for the fight to cure Multiple Sclerosis through fund raising for their causes.
Jon held a position on the West University's Parks and Recreation Board of Directors for around a year but had been supportive of many activities for years before then and helped improve the whole community. On April 19, 2014, Jon was hit by a car while riding his bicycle in Galveston, TX and ultimately died from his injuries on May 16, 2014. In honor of his contributions to the City of West University Place, during the time he lived there, the City of West University Place dedicated a tree to Jon and marked it with an etched stone near the entrance of the Recreation Center at 4210 Bellaire Blvd., Houston, TX 77025. It stands alone in an area of the parking lot that can be clearly viewed by all that visit the Recreation center as a memorial to a man that dedicated so much for others.
The memorial marker is a small trapezoidal limestone block with a medallion of the City of West University Place at the top and the following text engraved below:
"In memory of
Jon Paul Trevelise
1945 - 2014
Parks Board Member
2013 - 2014
Your passion for life, parks, the West University Place community and most of all your friendship and smile will be greatly missed."
