Jonah was one of the best friends I've ever had. A true inspiration for my dreams. The type of guy that would give the shirt off his back for someone he didn't even know. His example to the world is shared every day by the ones who's world was changed by this wonderful man. We will all miss our friend, brother and hero!

We are so broken by this news. We so enjoyed talking to Jonah and playing ball with him through his high school years and beyond when we lived across the street. We hadn't seen him in a long time but will miss him. Rich & Melissa

Dear Judy & Alan,
So sorry to hear of Jonah´s passing. Such a strong positive young man he had become.
I met Jonah through my daughter Joelle. Over the past months he came by often and became a part of our family as well. What a joy it was to see his determination in developing his future. Plans & desires to do all the right things. God knows his heart and his efforts so he is in the Lords hands. now.
I am sorry that I out of town and won´t be able to celebrate his life with you tomorrow but know that you your family & Jonah are in my prayers.
