Despite his early fame, Jon remained grounded and went on to have a varied career in films and television after Lassie ended.
In the years since, Jon has lived a quieter life away from the Hollywood spotlight, though his legacy as Timmy remains beloved by fans worldwide. His work on Lassie earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1994, cementing his place in television history.
