Jonathan- In the short time that I knew you, you made such an impact on my life. When you interviwed me for the job at Bin 36 I knew I wanted to work with you....yu were smiling and happy and making me laugh already...and that never stopped at work either. You always had some kind of sarcastic comment to make and I couldn't help but laugh. Thats the person that you were always making people laugh and smile and thats what I'll always remember you by. When I needed help at a table or just a friend to vent to, you were there for me with open arms. Thank you Jonathan for letting me in your life. I will miss you always. For Susan, Rachel, Lindsay and Jordan we all love you and are there for you in your time of sadness

His big brown eyes and astounding smile greeted me everyday as I entered work. Work is never going to be the same without Jonathan, he lit up the place and everything surrounding him. I am going to miss him dearly. He was one person I looked up to and I know, I will never meet someone like him again. I am just very thankful for knowing him as long as I did.

Jonathan, as everyone knows, was a fun loving guy. Since the day that I met him, when I was looking for a job at Bin 36, we laughed as if we had known each other for years. Jonathan was my manager at Bin 36 but he was more of a friend than a boss. I can't remember a single conversation where I didn't walk away without a smile on my face or a cramp in my side from laughing so hard. For the short time that I knew him, he made such an impression on me with his wonderfull attitude and outlook. He will be someone that I will always remember.

Jonathan was always there for me with a smile, a laugh, words of encouragement, and to make life more fun. He was a very honest and true friend, an extremely hard worker, and has made a dent in my life forever. To his family and friends, I hope over time your pain can subside, and you can seek comfort in the wonderful memories.
