Smart, professional, committed, skilled -- Jonathan was a wonderful man to work with over the years. But the memory that stays with me was during the time he and Larry were preparing to adopt. He wanted to discuss every detail,learn everything possible to make it work. Determined. After Lauren came, oh, the pictures... and the stories... and the dreams. He was a man in love. We are lucky to have had him around even for so short a while. Larry and Lauren, our thoughts are with you. And his spirit will hold you both forever.

My friend, with the perpetual smile has left us but is surely bringing joy wherever he is. Jonathan will forever be etched in my memories as the beautiful man, wearing a perfectly starched pink shirt and laughing so easily. My time with Jonanthan was too short. But I am grateful for having his imprint on my life. My heart has a hole in it knowing that my friend has passed on. I will miss him, think of him, hold him closely in my memories, and hope he is resting peacefully wherever he may be.

Jon, you enriched my life in so many ways. You had a passion and you made a difference. You love us all so completely and unconditionally. I rejoice for you in your journey and I am so thankful to have known you and love you. Give my love to Mema, Grandpa, Aunt Sandie... throw a rock for Goldie for me. You will live forever in my heart. I'm gonna giggle at your service, but you already know that.

It is with a deep sadness and breaking heart that I am sending this message. Know that you are all in my prayers with my cousin Jonathan(Scott), he will forever be in my heart. I will always remember the wonderful and warm person he was, his beautiful smile he had would light up the room when he was present. What joy he'd have when talking about his precious daughter Lauren. Our visits were far and few between, but with Scott you would never know it. We would just take off from where we were the last time we were together, he never missed a beat. I always had to remind Jonathan(Scott) I was his cousin not his Aunt. Our deal was if I can still call you Scott you can call me Aunt Cathie. His reply was " just for you Aunt Cathie" and that is how we left it. Love you always, cousin Cathie(Solano)Ellestad
