Jon Linn passed away in October of 2000.

He was a popular session and live concert guitarist, most noted for his searing guitar leads live and on albums by Contemporary Christian artists, including Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Mark Heard, Chuck Girard, etc.

Norman had first seen Jon while he was playing with seminal country rock band Mason Profit and they became friends. Larry then asked Jon, and the other members of the band to help provide backup for his next album, "In Another Land". Jon would go on to be an intricate part of many albums by Larry and his stable of artists.

Critics would describe his playing as "highly creative" and "genius" as well as "a wall of rock sludge."

In a public notice on Jon's death, Larry Norman stated, "Jon was crossing the street and was hit by a car."

Jon Linn left a wife and seven children.
