RIP, Johnathan. We worked together in Afghanistan while assigned to CSTC-A, Detainee Operations. He was a skilled logisitician, even as a relatively new W1. He had a sharp wit and a cheerful demeanor. I knew he would go on to bigger and better things. And so he did. Bravo Zulu!

What an amazing Dad, Husband, Friend and so much more to so many people . I’m always in awe with how you light up a room and are naturally the life of the party . Always admired you and how genuine and such a good example of joy and even when you weren’t happy it was still expressed in a funny way . It breaks my heart and all of our hearts your gone when we just saw you and although none of this will ever make sense I still find the joy in knowing you and the beautiful memories you made and...
