No matter the amount of years that passed, you are still missed each and every day. There are so many times I wish I could pick up the phone and call you. Love you my dear friend.

Here I am in 2021 and still thinking of you. The one man who I can honestly say truly loved me the way I deserved to be loved. We were both so young, and I was madly in love with you. You put my happiness before your own, you made mistakes but owned them, you were there for me no matter what, and accepted me as I was. You set the bar so high that no other man has ever been able to reach it. You taught me to rebuild a carburetor, and flush a radiator and my favorite song is still Burning Sky by Bad Company. And Metallica´s black album always brings my thoughts back to you. Thank you for loving me.

Jonathan meant the world to me. I remember taking him places as he grew up. He approached everything with his eyes wide open. He was all about fun and always had a kind ear. I'll miss him with all of my heart. Love always,

Growing up with Jonathan was just like having another younger brother. I got to see him grow up and work hard for everything he deserved in his life. I was proud to be able to see him graduate from high school, then college, and lastly get his Executive MBA. Mostly, I will miss hanging out and talking. He had a lot to say, as everyone knows who knew him. My life will be different without him here, but I know he lived a full life because gratefully I was there to see much of it. Jonathan you are in my prayers and will love you always.

Jonathan, you were always a delight and such a passionate, smart young man. I loved your insatiable curiosity and the sparkle in your eyes when you got excited about your work and wanted to share your knowledge. You were larger than life in anything you did and I will miss you terribly, especially your wonderful laughter and engaging grin. I will love you always. Be at peace with God, Grandma and Gran.

I only talked to you once as your life was always so busy, but I was impressed with your firm handshake and your look-me-right-in-the-eyes way of talking. I kept an eye on your home as a good neighbor should do and will continue to do so until it is occupied again. My heart goes out to your family and vast number of friends. You'll always live in the hearts and minds of those that loved you and they will keep your spirit and memory alive. RIP and God bless you.

There's so many words I could use to describe Jonathan - he was intelligent, passionate, fun, thoughtful, kind, and so much more. If you ever needed a friend, he would be there. I'm going to miss him tremendously. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to know and love such a wonderful person.

Jonathan's family is in my heart a prayers. I only knew this talented man for 3 years, but he quickly became my friend after our first meeting. His personality and kindness made it easy to bond with him as a friend, and someone I enjoyed getting to know. He held no agendas, and was truly available as himself, a friend I will sadly not have the opportunity to grow with. You will be missed!!

I met Jonathan when I became his real estate agent. He was excited about buying his first house. He was such a kind sole. We quickly became friends and talked often. Through his stories, I learned so much about his family and friends. He often talked about his mom, Donald, his aunt and uncle and was excited to learn he had a half brother. I know we will all miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Jonathan will be deeply missed by his family. It is hard to imagine going on without him. Growing up Jennifer, Alex & Jonathan were the "Three Muskateers". Always having fun, laughter & in mischief. He was a mentor to his niece & nephew, Jessica & Travis. Our memories of Jonathan and belief in God wil help us through our grief.
