What We Do

JCANS is helping give individuals with substance use disorder an opportunity to overcome their addictions and begin taking steps to life long recovery. JCANS is named after our son, Jonathan Cannon, and his handprint is our logo. Revolution. One Voice. One Heart. is a slogan we created to identify a revolutionary movement to see change in the war on substance use.

"We remember the phone call received at 2:33 a.m. on August 19th, 2015. That call informed us our son had passed away from a drug overdose. The loss of a child is the most horrific experience we think a person could ever go through.

We don’t want another parent to find themselves where we are now sitting."

Dear Jonathan, 

     There is so much more to a persons life than just the beginning and end. You were a gift given to us, fearfully and wonderfully made by God.  We want others to know that a person is not summed up by a single moment of good or bad on a time line, but by a kaleidoscope of moments making each person unique as a fingerprint.  You enjoyed being know as our “California baby”. You were a happy completion to our family, the youngest of three sons.  Maybe it was the California influence that marked you with your sweet smiling, laid-back, easy going personality.  Those characteristics were magnets that endeared you to family and friends. 

     From your childhood years to adulthood you enjoyed learning about new things. Soccer, baseball, bowling, nintendo games, paintball wars, youth group, roller blading, football, golf, skateboarding, vintage muscle cars, disc golf, music, and culinary arts were all part of who you were.  You grew to be a champion of the underdog, a strong protector of those you loved and a defender of the defenseless.  Your sensitive nature made you deeply loyal to family and friends, brought you heart aches and a fierce passion to defend yourself and actions.  We are so thankful for the 26 years we had together, but would be untruthful to say it was sufficient.  You said on two occasions, you felt like you were supposed to help people and somehow we sensed that would come to pass but never through loss. Jonathan, you are helping people, because of you, a strong passion was birthed in our hearts to help individuals and families that have been touched by the substance use epidemic raging in our country.

Love you now, always and forever,

Mom and Dad

​ "When you look at substance use addiction it is in almost every neighborhood. I don't care how much money you have, how rich you are, what race you are, how young or old. this epidemic goes beyond all social, political and economic lines."
