Jonathan Uhlig Obituary

Jonathan Karl Uhlig, known as "Jonny", left us unexpectedly on Tuesday, November 17, 2020. Jonny loved the Lord, wrestling and playing Minecraft with his friends. He was an active member of Calvary Bible Church, serving as a middle school leader and growing his faith through youth ministry WNT (Wednesday Night Thing). Jonny was a proud member of Fairview High School's wrestling team, fighting for the Knights as a varsity wrestler since his Freshman year. Jonny was known for his larger than life smile, his great dance moves, his care for others and his ability to build people up. He motivated others to be stronger, to work and to fight harder both on and off the mat. He also had a quiet side that helped him listen to others, seeing their needs and talking to them in a way that spoke to the heart. Jonny leaves behind his parents, Christopher and Karin, older brother Joshua and younger brother Benjamin, but his family was so much larger than this. He is loved and admired and will be forever missed by his good friend, Fiona, "the boys", his FHS wrestling brothers and sisters and the many lives, both young and old, that he touched in the Boulder community and beyond. A service to celebrate Jonny's life will be on Monday, November 30, 2020 at 2:00 pm (MST) at Calvary Bible Church, 3245 Kalmia Avenue, Boulder, CO 80301. The event will be livestreamed as well. Please follow the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89528371959 to join online. If you would like to honor Jonny's life, please consider contributing to a memorial fund to benefit RISE that has been established in his name at https://bit.ly/3menXTc.

Jonny was such a great role model. I don’t have any negative memories with him and he truly was a a light in a dark room. Every interaction I had with him was positive and I strive to be as caring as he was. No matter what the situation, he was an open ear.

I met Jonny on service team in Glorieta, NM in 2019. I firmly believe the reason God called me back that year was so that I could meet Jonny. Before we ever said a word to each other he felt like a little brother to me and I felt a strong conviction to share my testimony with him so I did and later Jonny asked if he could tell me his, so he did. We cried together, I prayed over him and we hugged and I loved him like he really was my brother. We kept in touch after camp and I am beyond heartbroken that I didn’t get to say goodbye. Jonny touched my heart so much more than I could ever express and I will miss him until I join him in Heaven. I still don’t know why God led me to trade stories with Jonny but I am forever thankful that we did. I’ll love and miss you forever, Jonny. I’ll see you again someday.

A great cousin and a great friend. Bonding with him over just one summer was a lifelong memory. He brightened up the room and put others before himself and never complained. When I think about the word selfless I think about Jonny and I will always remember the time I had with him.

Jonny was a teammate, friend, and partner in defence, we would play soccer together, I remember how aggressive we would be, if I missed a tackle Jonny would be right there to help, I always knew could rely on him. He was a great guy.
