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...

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.
