BRUNSWICK — It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jon Robert Agne, 58, after a long and courageous battle with prostate cancer on Sunday May 21, 2017.

He was born at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX on May 14, 1959 to Robert and Rita (Thompson) Agne.

A long time sailor he could be found in the summer sailing his beloved catboat “SURPRISE” out of Paul’s Marina in Middle Bay.

Much to the delight of family and friends he was an accomplished cook who loved to entertain.
