I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan at Henry Medical Center in 2004. He was a great person and will be missed dearly. My prayers go out to the family and may the hope of the Resurrection make you strong so that you will be able to live in peace until you see him again.

I had the priviledge of meeting John through his older sister whom I worked with. John was such a funny and nice person and made you feel at ease. I wish I had taken the opportunity to know him better. He will surely be missed.
To the family: May the Lord be with you and give you strength.

what can i say? he had a smile that would light up the room. but if you ever had a chance to meet jon, you already knew that. there was just something about him that you don't find too often in many people. it's like all of your worries and concerns would disappear when you got around him. he always did know how to make me laugh. i just know he's up there right now doing the same thing with those angels.
so, thank you jon! thank you for all the memories you've left... thank you for all the laughs and good times we shared... thank you for just being you. I LOVE YOU, MAN!!! i'm gonna' miss u!
ms. morris, i'm so sorry to hear about jon. i'm sure as you know by know, that you had a great son. he showed nothing but love and kindness towards friends and strangers. and whether he knew it or not, he impacted lives everyday. if only there were more people like jon. it was a blessing to have known him. ms. morris, you raised one fine boy! thank you!!!

I recently relocated to Georgia from Boston and met Jonathan while working at Delta Airlines. Ms. Margie I know that you are experiencing a difficult time but please know that you were indeed the #1 woman in Jonathan's life. We talked and shared often and he made that known from the moment that I met him as well as his love for the Lord. I'm truly blessed for having the opportunity of getting to know him and wouldn't of had it any other way. I now know what is meant by, "everyone serves a purpose in your life no matter the length of time that you know them" and he truly served a purpose in my life. May God continue to bless you and your family.

It was a pleasure having Jonathan work for me at Henry Medical Center. Jon's never ending smile and positive attitude will be truly missed. Jon cared alot about people and not just his friends and family but the strangers he would come in contact with everyday. He would go out of his way to help someone in any way that he possibly could. Jon touched alot of people with his uplifting spirit. He will be missed by all of his Cardiovascular Services family.

Mother Margie,
My family and I would like to express our sorrow at the loss of my brother, John. He was a great light in my life. He showed me unconditional love and always honored and respected me as a sister and mother in Christ. We will truly miss him, but know that he is yet smiling from above. If you need us for any thing, don't hesitate to give us a call.
We love and appreciate you.
Be Blessed

A poem for the Family: SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I an now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
With My Love & Prayers,

Jon has been apart of my life since 2002. I thank God for bringing him into my life every chance i get. He will still be a blessing even though he is now with the Lord. He loved everyone and touched so many lives during his stay here on earth. Now he will continue to do God's will in heaven. My love and prayers go out to the family, especially Miss Margie who also has been a blessing to me.

Ms. Morris, I love Jonathan so much. I thought the pain of losing him would cease. Its hard because I miss hearing his voice and looking into his beautiful eyes but I know that he is in heaven with God. I love you Ms. Morris, Stephaine, and Karen. You all invited me into your family as one of your own. Thank you Ms.Morris for sharing your son with me. We all had wonderful times together and he will always have a place in my heart because God sent me my true love and I will always cherish every loving memory and experience that I shared with Johnathan. Ms. Morris, I am here for you because I know John wouldn't have it no other way. So count me as one of your own because I am stuck with you for life. I love you Ms. Morris and my life will be forever changed because of the impact he had in my life. He was my soul mate, selected by God himself and I thank God for allowing me to experience real love with someone who was exactly like me. We were the same person and I know it was Gods divine plan to allow us to share our lives with one another,even if it was for a short time but we both said our prayers were answered when God allowed us to cross paths. We will get through this family one day at a time and with God all things are possible and he left us all with precious memories of Johnathan that we can cherish for the rest of our lives. I Love you all.

John and I are sending our deepest sympathy to you and your family. God will not put no more on us than we can bare. "Jon" was such an angel no matter where you seen him he was always the same. Ms. Margie weeping may endure for a night but joy will come in the morning, you are in our prayers.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family. I worked as an assistant at the salon Ms. Margie owned. Ms. Margie, Stephanie, and Whitney... I pray that you make it through this trying time in your lives. The last time I saw Jonathon was 1.5 years ago when my husband was in a bad motorcycle accident and was admitted to Henry Medical. Jonathon was working there at the time. Stay strong and continue to pray.

Dear Ms. Margie and family,
You have been in my prayers daily. My sincerest deepest condolences go out to you during this trying time. What I remember most about Jonathan is that he was such a nice person and I will never forget those long eyelashes. If there is anything you may need, I am here. GOD will soon put your hearts at ease if you cast all your worries to him. Much love and my deepest sympathy, Mika.

I also worked with Jonathan at Delta, and we would talk from time to time. As we all know actions speak louder than words, and Jonathan shared with me that he was saved and his actions showed just that. I observed him with people and he always stayed the same no matter what type of attitude others would have. You could see the joy of the lord in his life, and he was always a positive brother. My condolences to the family and friends. He will truly be missed.

Ms. Compton,
My deepest condolences are with you and your family at this time and always. Jonathon and I became really close in just the last two weeks. He was very special to me. I know that God brought him into my life for a reason. As well, he brought him to many lives and touched many lives. He was funny, brilliant, goal oriented, charming, with a beautiful smile, and had so much more to do in his life. He was taken by someone bigger than us and obviously the good lord needed him more. He loved you Ms. Compton with all of his heart. He spoke of you and the pastor very often and adored both of you. With all of my heart and all of my sympathy

Our prayers of peace, love and comfort are with you Mother Margie and your family. Jonathan touched my wife's life in more ways than one. I will never forget his willingness to drive her home while she was sick during a church morning service, although we lived an hour away. He will be missed! Jonathan was definitely an "angel."

My name is Ashlee and I met Johnathan while he was working at Delta. I just want to give his family my deepest condolences and sympathy for. Johnathan and his family. My heart goes out to his mother who he always talked about with such a light in his eyes. Johnathan was such a funny and friendly co-worker.l I really enjoyed being around him. We would laugh and joke all the time, I never thought I would never see him again. I just wanted his family to know he was truly a angel that got taken from us too soon.

I would like to send God's blessings to your family during your diffilcult time. I only knew Jonthan for a short while, but he was a sweet young man. I had to leave work on last 03/10/06 due to not feeling well. Jonathan was so concerned about me, he volunteered to carry my bags to my locker and walked me to my car. You never know how deeply a person touches your life, so we must cherish each moment spent with them. I will never forget him. He is now in a better place with the man who loves us the BEST!

To Mamma Margie and the Morris-Compton Family-- We are truly blessed to have known Jonathan over this short period of time. He was a brother that always found joy and humor in every situation. Even when he was going through he still hung in there like a warrior and never let what he was experiencing define who he was. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and we take comfort, as we know you do, in knowing that we will see him again.
