Jonathan Wahl Obituary

April 24, 1964 - December 2, 2015 Jonathan M.M.M. Wahl succumbed to colon cancer on December 2nd, 2015. Jonathan was an immensely creative spirit, one who touched the lives of many and left this mortal coil far too soon. He will always be remembered for his love of the theatre, classic cinema, Mystery Science Theater 3000 and The Marx Brothers - pretty much all of the good stuff. He was adored by his family, friends, and colleagues at the Margaret Herrick Library. He is survived by his beloved wife Tracy, daughter Skyler, mother Donna, mother-in-law Marsha Baird, and siblings Jeffrey (Claudia), Stephanie Lauer (Fritz), Christopher (Judi), Nicholas, brother-in-law Michael S. Baird (Marilu), and nephews Ivan Lauer (Amanda) and Michael G. Baird, and nieces Lee and Faye. He was preceded in death by his father Richard, father-in-law Michael D. Baird, and nephew Henry Lauer. A memorial will be held at Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum on December 20th from 11 am to 1 pm to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Jonathan's name to Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Cyn. Blvd, Topanga CA 90290.

I will never forget the fun that Jon, I, and the rest of the gang, shared as NHHS Madrigals in '81-'82. Nobody could make me laugh more ferociously than he: so clever; so witty; so talented. Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

I will never forget the fun that Jon, I, and the rest of the gang had during our time together as NHHS Madrigals in '81-'82. Nobody could make me laugh more ferociously than he: so bright; so clever; so talented. Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
