The cause of Jon's death has not been determined as of this date.
Jon was a member of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. He joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in June 1992, training as an electronics technician. He specialised in the early years of his career in radar and ground to air weapons, completing an operational tour in Northern Ireland.
In 2011, Sgt Kups moved to 104 Force Support Battalion REME before being attached to 4 Close Support Battalion REME.
Military officials stated that Jon was a man of substance. His nickname was "Koops". They describe him as a real character, with a dry wit who was a pleasure to work with. He is also described as very popular.

Jonathan would not have committed suicide, he was very opinionated and was a lover of life, I spent 7 years with him before we divorced may he rest in peace, my thoughts go out to his family.

I worked with Jon and there is no way he would take his own life.
We lived in each others pocket while in the falklands for 6 months together.
I have grieved the loss of my friend, my thoughts now turn to his family who will miss him massively im sure.
RIP my dear friend.
Scott.
