Jedidiah Wirth was presented with the Wabash County Retail Merchants Committee’s 2020 Employee of the Year award.  Sharon Harris of WSJD, chairman of the Employee of the Year committee, presented the award to Jedidiah at his place of employment, Big Jon’s Lunchbox, Wednesday afternoon.   

Below is the anonymous letter that was received by the committee: 

 “I would like to nominate Jedidiah Wirth for the RMC Employee of the Year.   Jedidiah exemplifies what Mt. Carmel and Wabash County needs more of…a young, energetic person who is eager to work for the betterment of our community.   

When you visit Big Jon’s Lunchbox, you’ll always see Jedidiah hard at work with his family in the kitchen. It’s a job he’s held since he was very young and has become a friendly face for the community to see.   

This past year, Jedidiah took over operation of the Farmer’s Market in Mt. Carmel and has worked to make it one of the area’s best. He was always there long before the market opened with a smile on his face—ready to help all the vendors and customers with anything they needed.  The move to the uptown location was a great idea as it attracted more vendors and customers benefitting the community.   

Jedidiah is also a devoted family man and very active in his church.   

In closing, Jedidiah fulfills all of the attributes one would look for in an excellent employee and why he should be considered for the RMC Employee of the Year.”  

Congratulations Jedidiah!
