The family’s note read, “We are all devastated by the sudden tragedy. The Hill family requests privacy during this overtly difficult time.”
The beauty blogger responded to the devastating news by uploading a series of selfies with the musician the next day, along with her own message. In the caption, Jaclyn penned, “I can’t believe this day has actually come. I am so out of my mind right now, I don’t how I’m even going to type this. But I’m going to try…”
Continuing with high accolades, Jaclyn said, “Jon, you were the kindest & compassionate person I’ve ever known. You looked people in the eyes & you truly listened & cared about what they had to say. You had so much talent you didn’t even know what to do with it. You turned your pain into art & touched so many people with your honesty in your music. You were one of the funniest people I’ve ever met! You made everybody laugh uncontrollably & I will forever miss that about you.”
Then she talked about their nine-year marriage, which had ended in May 2018. “I know we ended our marriage but we never stopped loving & caring for each other,” she said. “All I ever wanted was for you to find your happiness & be free from your struggles.”
“My heart is broken knowing that you are gone but my spirit knows that you are finally free,” she wrote. “And I know that you’re up there playing the drums right now making everyone laugh.”
Finally, she said, “For the rest of my life, I will think of you and smile at the inside jokes we shared. Rest peacefully. Love, Twix.” There has been no word on what exactly caused Jon’s death.

The CEO of Jaclyn Cosmetics, Jaclyn, announced her separation from her husband Jon via Instagram in May of 2018. In a statement at the time, she stated, “Although this has been one of the hardest decisions of our lives, I know it’s what is best for both of us.”
When Jaclyn went on, “To this day, I still think fondly of him and am thankful for the wonderful days we had together.”
After years of silence, in 2019, Jon discussed his separation from his wife and his battles with substance abuse with Billboard.
“My addiction kicked off when I was 17 years old in high school,” he told the outlet. “I was at a bonfire when a friend asked him to try the prescription pills he was taking to manage the pain from his broken leg. I remember when it hit me, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is the best feeling I’ve ever had.’ It’s like all my insecurities about what people thought of me just went away. I felt untouchable.”
Since then, he has struggled with addiction, and it has begun to have a negative impact on his marriage to Jaclyn, despite his efforts to keep it a secret from her.
“During our third year of marriage, it got to a point where I was having seizures because I was on so much stuff. I started breaking out in hives,” the musician told Billboard. “So it became noticeable that something was wrong.”
Though Jon did manage to quit drugs, it was too late to save their relationship.
