JONATHAN BUTLER Obituary

September 9, 1985 - August 21, 2010 Jonathan was born in Northridge, California. He grew up and lived his entire life in Simi Valley, graduating from Simi Valley High School in 2003. He gained experience working with a sheet metal union before entering the concrete construction field. Jonathan became a licensed, working contractor when he was only 23 years old. Jonny lived life to the fullest, enjoying everything from hunting, skeet shooting, fishing and boating, to hiking, off-roading, rides on his Harley, classic car shows and fun-themed parties with friends! We will remember him as a wonderful son, a protective brother, best friend to many, the life of the party. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, neighbors and even casual acquaintances he met along his road. He was a simple young man with extraordinary values. Jonny B. was taken from us way too soon but he will remain forever in our hearts. A Memorial Celebration will be held at Reardon, 2636 Sycamore Dr., Simi Valley on Saturday, September 18, 2010, at 3:00 p.m.

We remember Jonny most as a young, beautiful and happy child. Although we didn't see him grow up, we always loved hearing from Patty about her great children. There can be nothing as difficult as the loss of a child and we send our deepest love and respect to Patty, Carly and Eleanor. Enjoyed the messages - what a great young man. Jonny was a great joy, comfort and friend to so many. A high tribute for such a young man. Good job Patty! Love,
