Jonathan, it has been awhile since I have left a message. It would be an understatement to say that I miss you. Only God knows how much I do. You were more than my best friend, you were a brother to me. Oftentimes, I wish you were here so that I could talk and share my thoughts with you. I understand and know that you are in far better place than this world that we are in. Until we meet again...Love ya Bro!

Hey big-head, I wrote you a poem!
It doesn't have a title yet. I'm still thinking about it!


Crazy thoughts, a broken heart, tears are flowing, this is taring me apart.

Not a day go by that I don't think of you. It's been two yeaars and im still sad and blue.

I question God why did this happen. Why all of a sudden and why so tragic?

We sometimes take life for granted. Like thinking tomorrow is promised and our loved ones would be here forever.

What a huge reality check this was for me and your family members. Not thinking that God would have taken you in November.

I guess what saying is that I love you and I miss you so much!

Although we rarely spoke to each other while we went to school together, it was great to have known someone like you. When I got the news I was devastated and so heartbroken. It seems so surreal that you're gone. Say hello to the big guy for me. You will be greatly missed and justice will prevail. God knows everything and he's in charge of that verdict and not man. I pray that the Wallace family hold fast and never lose sight of God. He's our ultimate healer and our comforter. Be blessed and may God be with this family.

Hello!!!I was just thinking about you; it really does not seem to be that long. It seems like it was just yesterday that I received the unwanted phone call. Jonathan it has truly been hard because part finds it really hard to accept the fact that you are gone. Oftentimes, I say that it should not have ended like that but I have to remember that God knows best. I wish time could be rewind, I wish that I had a few wishes to be granted. Although you were love by many God love you best. I love you man and miss you so much.

Akil ask about you often especially when he is eating pizza. Yeah it has turned out to be his favorite too! We Love You and we carry your spirit and honor with us everyday!

Rev. Benny L. Everett, III

July 28, 2008

Jonathan it is so hard to accept the fact that you are not here. However, I thank God for the time we shared together. Like Mr. David Ruiz sometimes we stood on the opposite side of issues but the beauty of it all we never allowed our differences to come between the brotherly love we had for each other. The one of the main things I loved about our friendship is that we were honest with one another no matter how it may have been received. I believe that King Solomom said that faithful are the wounds of a friend than a kiss from an enemy I must say that we really walk that scripture out. I wish you were here to see the most exciting presidential campaign that has ever taken place in our lifetime. An African-American making a long overdo journey to the white house. Just wanted to say that I love you and I miss you. I can say that without shame because we were best friends and brothers. I pray that I live my upright before God that I may see you again.

ONLY WHAT WE DO FOR CHRIST WILL LAST
"Live a Life that Matters"
Ready or Not our Life will all come to and end. There will be no more hearing the birds chirp or the flowers bloom, no more sunrises and sunset, no more secondS, minutes, hours, day,months, nor years.
Our wealth, fame,education, status, age, will shrivel to irrelvance. Only what we have done for Christ will last.
It will not matter what you bought, only what you built, not what you got, but what you gave. Did you feed someone as you passed along this way? Not your success, but your significance, not what you learned, but what you taught.
Jonthan you will be remember for every act on integrity, compassion, every encouraging word or sacrifice that enriched, empowered others to emulate your example.
It is not about how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you are gone. It is not about your memories, but the memories that live in those you loved.
For you sweet angel will be remember by the legacy you have left . For your life mattered and will always be cherished. For the life you live & shared can truly speak for you!
We are truly blessed to know you and your family,

Jonathan, it is a late 4th of July the nation's celebration of freedom is almost to an end. Just to think you have true freedom. Freedom from the trouble of this old world, its prejudices, hatred, sicknessess and struggles. I would be lying if I did not say that I wish you were here. I have not even deleted your name or number out of my phone oftentimes I almost be tempted to send you a text or give you a call but sadly I remember that awful morning of 11/28. That day is a bitter and sweet moment although it is the day my father was born but it is also a day my best friend and brother had left me. I miss you so much I wish I could share some of things that I face in my life right now. You were always there when I needed you the most. I miss you there is never a day that I do not think about the friendship that we shared. It was like a Jonathon and David relationship. I friendship that could stand the test of time. My father and I was talking the other day and you know how crazy Sonny Pete is. But he said jokingly that when he would see us in the grey corvette he could not believe that two fat jokers could ride in it like we did. LOL Jonathan I do not mean to be repetitive but I miss you and I going to do all I can to see you on the other side. Love Bro but god loves you best.

Happy Birthday Jonathan. I miss you so much. There's not a day that passes that I don't think of you. I can truly say that things are not the same without you. It hurts because I never said thank you for what you did for me. It's hard letting you go but I know It was in God's plan. I love you YO!!!!!

JONATHAN WE MISS YOU SO MUCH. IT'S HARD NOT HAVING YOU AROUND BUT THINKING OF THE GOOD TIMES WE SHARED KEEPS US FULL OF LAUGHTER. WE LOVE YOU YO!!!!

Jonathan it has been a while since I visited this site but I must tell you that I miss you. We had a friendship that could stand the test of time. I feel as though we were brothers. We were inseperable, I miss calling and talking to you about life issues. I wish you were hear so we could debate about the person who would be the best candidate for presidency. I would have loved to hear your take on the matter. I wish things on 11/28 were so different but God know best. Even when we don't understand it, he knows. But I am going to do all God requires of me because I want to see you again. But I still say it should not have been like this we should have grown old together, our families would have been close. Our kids could have continued the legacy like we did from our fathers. Remember in school until now they maintain a friendship. But say hello to friends. Love You

Pastor Wallace, be encourage and know that God doesn't make mistakes, I know it's hard because that was your son but also know that God only give us these children for a short time. It's sad because his death was so tragically endeavored. I love you and I had the priviledge of fellowshipping with you and your congregation and to know that the joy of the Lord is your strength because you had that BIG beautiful smile on your face inspite of it all. God loves you and so do I. Keep us in prayer as we do the same for you and your family. May God bless you and hide you under the shadow of His mighty wings.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the entire Wallace Family. Jonathan was a young man dedicated to his community and family. He was always quick to help out where he could. I have fond memories of Mr. Wallace while in high school. No matter our differences at times I always respected his ability to debate, take a side, challenge others, etc. Pahokee has certainly lost a young leader and fine young man. May the Wallace family and Rev. Wallace find comfort in God's Grace and spirit!

Dear Wallace Family,
When I went through the NYPD academy in 1974 we were taught that every Police Officer was our brother/sister and family.I have always lived by that code. I felt the pain of loss at the news of this tragedy. I pray for you all. God Bless Officer Wallace and all those that loved him.
Sincerely.

I know the pain of losing a love one. We have to believe that we will see them again one day. I am not going to tell you that the pain will get easier as the days past because on somedays you feel as though you want your heart to stop. I can tell you that you will learn to live with the pain. I did not know J. Wallace however I work with people who know both families and they all have nice things to say about both men. I pray for them and your family.

I AM NOT THERE ~ Hopi Indian prayer

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Rest in Peace, Jonathan

December 13, 2007

well, here I go again. I'm kinda like Tan, I sit here in front of this computer everyday, and I often find myself back at this page, reading the different comments, and pondering the mindsets of the people who are writing. Man, for the life of me, I can't make sense of the whole thing, but because I know that God has everything in total control, I am able to rest in the fact that the family will be okay. Its funny how we are all still referring to you in the present tense, and thats because you will always live in our hearts. I remember the time you came to my church up in Tallahassee, and the guy over the sound deparment took you back and let you see all of the equipment, you were in heaven. He turned on the system full blast, and you just looked at me, and said man, why can't this system be in Harvest. Then Rev and Joni came in, and we all sat around at the church and laughed and talked for about 30 minutes just joking around. Those are my most fond memories, and I hold them dear, because Rev said something when I got home, the night of the memorial, she said Yo is gone Toy, and we can't laugh anymore. I asured her that we will laugh again, because almost every memory we have of you will bring a laugh to our hearts. Keep'em trippin out in heaven, and we'll keep laughing down here. We miss you something awful Yo, love ya boy!

Miss U Yo!

To my family I know that this has been a very very hard moment in our life out of many that our family has faced! But God is in complete control of every situation, the one's that we understand as well as the one's that's hard to understand!We just have to pray harder and come even more closer so that complete healing of our hearts, minds, and spirits can be restored! It's alright to cry but after it's all done we still have to know that God knows best. Yo we miss you more than words can explain but we still know that you are still with us everyday and knowing that can make things just a lil bit more easier! R.I.P lil cous and don't make the angels laugh to hard!Ps.Yo u making it real hard for a sis to go on with career goals specially with our family still love you though:-)

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Jonathan, it has been a hard week for me. As long as the chords of my memory shall lengthen I shall never forget the phone call I received. It is very hard to accept the fact that you are gone. I know that you are dead but you mean so much to me that I can't let you go. We had a David and Jonathan relationship in the Bible. A friendship that will never end no matter what. So death cannot seperate us. Do you remember when you came to my 5 year old birthday party and we begam a friendship of a lifetime. Do you remember jumping on your bed and your momma beating our butts. So many memories float through my mental skies. Like the high school years, Youth Court, having debates, skipping during lunch, hiding out in different teacher rooms, Student Council and the NAACP. We were inseperable. Jonathan, I did not know that Monday would be the last time. Do remember us talking and you telling me to call you right back because of your minutes and I told you after talking for awhile I told you I will call you back because of minutes and we both said goodbye. But little did we know that would be the last goodbye. I miss you, I miss as little boys you telling me you ain't coming to my house no more because all I want to do is play church. But thats all we knew. Do you remember joking about the AME vs. Missionary Baptist and which one was the best. So much I would like to say but I can't say but I miss and love you. You were very smart, talented, competitive and very charismatic but the main thing I admire you for was your courage to stand for what you believe. You had bulldog tenacity. But you are in a far more better place. I to have a favor you say hello to my grandma Aucilla and my great-grandma Momma Clee make sure you kiss them for me, say hello to my favorite disciple "Peter" say hello to my favorite preachers Rev. Martin L. King Sr./Jr. and Rev. C.L. Franklin. Say hello to one of my favorite Gospel singers Mahalia Jackson as you both talk about How y'all made it over. Say hello to our ancestors and fellow NAACP members that died for the rights we both enjoyed. But last and sho nuff not least say hello to Jesus I know you said hello for you but do it for me. But one thing you must wait to do; you can't crown him not until I get there.

Pastor Wallace;
Memories are a treasure
time cannot take away...
So may you be surrounded
by happy ones today...
May all the love and tenderness
of golden years well spent
Come back today to fill your heart
with beauty and content.

I remember the day of old; I meditate on all thy work; I muse on the work of thy hands. Psalm
143:5
