He is the cherished son of Carolyn Pensanti Puchowicz of Seymour and Louis Stanley Puchowicz of Southbury. He was a graduate of the 2003 class of Bunnell High School. Jonathan was a gifted carpenter and landscaper who often used his skills to help his family and friends. He had a deep love for all animals, the outdoors and fishing.
He had an especially deep love for God and was strong in his faith. He was a loyal and passionate man, who gave his love unconditionally to all of his family and many friends.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his devoted brothers and sisters-in-law, Christopher (Tiffany) Puchowicz of Seymour, and Matthew (Jennifer) Puchowicz of Apex, NC and his cherished nephew and nieces Reilly, Julianna, and Harper.

Jonathan was predeceased by his beloved grandparents Boleslaw and Honorata (Babcia) Puchowicz, Joseph and Marion Pensanti, and his uncle John Puchowicz.
Dear Jonathan, our hearts are broken because you're gone, but we will cherish our sweet memories of you. We know you are at peace in Heaven, resting with loved ones, fishing and loving all of the animals there. We will deeply miss you but God needed you. We love you always.

Jonathan ... something that many don't know, you were actually the first to teach me guitar (granted it was the Titanic theme song) you got me to learn it when others couldn't. You did that a lot in life and by that I mean created memories. I never forget all the times that we'd go to carnivals with you, Aunt Sissy, Matt, Chris, Jaclyn, Brit, Brianna and Antonio. The cousin weekend stays at your house each June. The family holiday parties with gift swaps, the pool parties where I'd somehow always never get enough water on the slide. How you got me into horror movies, even though you scared Jaclyn and I profusely with a Freddie Krueger costume. You and Matt got me into football, and even let me wear your gear once when I was little so I could feel more grown up. You got me into Eminem which is why I let you bleach my hair a time or two back in the day (wasn't the best look), but I'll never forget those times. I wanted a Camaro because you had one. Growing up, I looked up to you (literally and figuratively) as you were my big cousin, fearless and taught us to be the same. Most importantly, you always made us laugh. I'll never forget any of these memories, or you for the great person you were (are). You are already missed and we love you. Rest in peace Jon - love, Jason
