So sorry to hear about Jonathan passing. He drove my kids to their weekly therapy appointments and my son marcus fell in love with him. He called marcus topcat and always picked with him but was quick to let him know he needed to behave and learn in school. I loved hearing his stories. I felt like i had known him my whole life after that first trip and looked forward to those weekly trips. Marcus says he misses you.

I wish that we could have become friends and neighbors much sooner in life. I'll never forget the day you moved in how you so humbly came to borrow a spoon haha. We found out we had so much in common, art, music, fishing, nature and I loved your racing stories. Thank you for fixing my water pump and how you turned it into an awesome visit full of stories from racing and me learning just what kindred souls we were. I didn't get enough time to be your buddy longer. I'm glad I brought you your last Christmas dinner, and came up to spend Christmas with you in the hospital. It's going to be weird not seeing you out cutting the grass. Thank you for my hens and rooster, I will cherish them forever, and I hope I'm able to read some of the journaling and story writing you loved to do where ever you were and no matter what you were doing, another shared passion. I'm sorry we didn't get to do our fishing we planned. Your neighbor and friend.

Just learned about Jonathan's passing. I pray that Jesus will send His angels to wrap their wings around the family and comfort them. I enjoyed the many trips with Johnathan driving me to and from my Dr appointments. Rest in Peace my friend.
