Jonas W. Pearson

We love you,
Edward Coleman

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I want to write this to give my condolences & respect to Jonas´s family:

I just received this devastating news from a friend.. I wish I was aware of this, as I would have attended his funeral along with other college friends of Jonas that were also unaware of his passing..

I first met Jonas in class at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2018. He had a great sense of humor, was very outgoing, & most importantly, he was a good friend. Myself & a group of friends have countless memories with Jonas all throughout college-hanging out, shooting hoops, grilling all the time, going to the beach, parties, & attending class together..the list can go on. I still have his black King James Bible that he gave to me about 2 years ago. It´s sitting next to me on my nightstand as I type this -He gave me this Bible because wanted to give me the best interpretation of the scripture. This is just one of the many examples that truly shows what kind of person & caring friend he was.

This news breaks my heart & was a shock to all of us. Rest In Peace buddy

I was out of town when Jonus died and just heard of his death today. What a loss to Family and friends. It was my pleasure to have coached him on the Wheaton Heat and to get to know him better. He was always smiling, always happy, and Leah’s working on his basketball skills. That Wheaton Heat team was a favorite of mine and Jonus was a huge reason why. That picture is on display with my other sorts memorabilia and I will look at it often and remember those great days and the fun we had as a TEAM.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Pearson Family, Jonus and all his friends. Rest In Peace Jonus. You will be missed here dearly. I was so blessed to have known you and coached you. God’s Speed.

Coach Thomas

Dearest Liz,
I am so sorry for your loss. This unimaginable loss. He sounds like a precious soul. I will be praying for you and all the family. And holding you in my heart.

Dr. Pearson and family, may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

Jonas meant so much to me, I can’t even begin to explain. I will be thinking about him and praying for him and the Pearson family.

Dear Elizabeth, Paul and family,
Our love and prayers go out to all your family in this time of need. My fervent prayer is for the outpouring of love and support of so many family and friends to buoy you in this tempest. I am reminded of Jesus as he rebuked the wind and waves in Mark 4:35-41.
We are with you in spirit and wish we were present with you.
All our love,
Edward and Ana Coleman and family

Dear Liz,
I'll never forget the first time I met Jonas ... Tyler brought home another tall, lanky middle school boy while we were grilling and eating out on our patio one summer night. Upon introduction, Jonas smiled his big warm smile that spread completely across his sweet, freckled face. I asked him is he was hungry and would he like a hot dog ... he ate three. He thanked me profusely and told me "how nice it is meet you, Mrs. Therron."

Jonas was always joy to me. He was happy to be with his friends, always considerate and respectful to everyone. Jonas had a light that was unique and it shone brightly. I am thankful that Jonas now has peace and is with our heavenly father. Peace be with you, Jonas. Peace be with all of you, Liz. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory ... forever and ever. Amen.

Dear Liz and Pearson family, We are so very sad to hear about Jonas. Jonas was indeed like Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh! Jonas was always smiling and kind. Fairly recently, Ian saw Jonas on the Prairie Path and Jonas took the time to chat with Ian. Our family is praying for all of you as you walk through this time of excruciating grief. We are rejoicing, too, because like you said he was rescued by his Savior and we will see Jonas again! Love, The Muellers

This heartbreaking story is too common. Jonas sounds like quite the special soul. I´m so very sorry.

I did not know Jonas but his story breaks my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May peace envelope you.

Matthew 19:14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

Dear Paul,

Life is difficult to comprehend for us mortals on this earth. But rest assured that God has a magnificent plan for Jonas now that he sits by his side. We are all here for you and your family.

I know Grandmother Shirley Hendrickson and I grieve with you and the whole family. Jonas sounds like a person who spread joy to all. Our loss is Heaven's gain. May you feel the presence of Jesus who is holding you at this time. Sincerely, Ruth Gibson

We are so saddened to hear of Jonas' passing. I had the true pleasure to coach Jonas in Wheaton youth basketball. I would say to my assistant coaches, "Jonas is such a great kid!" They would completely and genuinly agree. Polite, good natured, respectful, are just a few words to describe Jonas' pleasant personality. Jonas had that smile and sense of humor that engaged all those around him. Jonas will be missed. May the memory of Jonas' infectious smile and energy be eternal. Our prayers to Liz and family. God bless.

We are sorry to hear about the passing of Jonas. His personality and love of others could fill a room. We will keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.

Such a heart felt tribute to a wonderful young man. I am praying that God's mercy surrounds your family as you grieve the loss of Jonas. Love you dearly.

What a beautiful tribute to Jonas and to his Savior. I am praying for all the grieving family that you would experience the peace that only God can give to you. I am so sorry.
