Staff Writer @ringer. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see. Email me, don't tweet me.
- There's no easy way to say this. I've been diagnosed with cancer. The doctors aren't entirely sure what kind it is, but they think it is one of two kinds of sarcomas. I've already begun chemotherapy. Please keep me, my wife and our one-year old son in your prayers.
- Hey all, Melissa here. Jon passed away yesterday after spending the day surrounded by family and friends. He’s in heaven now, probably asking God philosophical questions and hooping it up. Service is Friday at 11am. All are welcome. Details linked here:
- Replying to @JonathanTjarksDon't take your health for granted. And be kind to one another. You never know what other people are going through.
- Had a great time doing the pod with Kyle and KOC. Not sure what my schedule will be but I’ll be around for the playoffs in some capacity. Best time of the year!
- Jackson Dean Tjarks was born on Friday. He’s in the 98th percentile for height and he’s incredibly cute!
- Really excited to announce that me and @jkylemann will be doing a weekly pod on the Ringer NBA show feed about young players around the league (and the draft) and all that implies. It will come out every Tuesday.
- You can find Jon’s obituary, memorial service live-streaming link, and other details at jonathantjarks.com Thank y’all for supporting my guy. He loved you all so very much ❤️
- I'll be doing draft grades tonight at The Ringer. A = good. B = OK. C = bad. That's how grades worked in my family.
- What is the best book you ever read? The one that changed how you viewed the world? The one that most impacted you? Just one.
