Dear Colleen, Ed, Emily, Lindsey, and Meredith,
I know this is a late entry if not the last. Somehow, for some reason only God knows, I did not know about your tragic loss. I sit here in tears, as I know from a chance meeting with Colleen today, that TODAY is Jonathan's birthday. My faith tells me there are no coincidences. The Lord is always at work. My heart bleeds for you because the unthinkable has happened to such a beautiful family who I have come to know and love during my teaching career. Colleen, you are a great woman I have always admired for being honest, caring, successful, beautiful, and an amazingly loving mom. You and Ed have given so much to the community and your children are just as special. Even though I did not teach Jon, I knew him through his sisters. I have had the pleasure of knowing all three beautiful girls who will always stand out in a crowd wherever they go - (for many reasons). When I met Jonathan my first reaction was WOW what a cool kid- so unique and charismatic. I firmly believe the Lord has a perfect reason for everything, no matter how painful it could be for us. Your pain will only serve to strengthen you and enable you to be even more loving throughout your lives. I know Jonathan is in a perfect place and will be there to listen to you when you need him. True love never dies. Keep your faith. Everlasting life is promised to you. I only wish I could do something, anything to lessen your pain. Please call me any time if you want to get together for "coffee" lunch, happy hour, whatever!! I miss all of you!
With Much Love,
Kathy

My dear friend Colleen and family,
I have been meaning to place an entry here ever since I first learned of your loss two days before the memorial service. Yet somehow I still can't believe this has really happened. I was living (briefly) in NJ and was packing to move back to FL when I got the news.
Since I couldn't attend the memorial, I downloaded the movie that Jon wrote the excellent review about, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". I watched it from start to finish on my laptop very early that AM. I couldn't help thinking about and marveling at Jonathan 'the man' and film-lover who I never really got to know.
Like many others, I'll remember Jonathan most from his childhood RGL and Frog Hat days. However, I have to mention his Pez collection. :) No one else has said anything about it here, but it goes to show how unique every one's memories are of your amazing son. Once, after I first moved away from PA, I sent a package to him of empty Pez dispensers I had accumulated. Though I lost touch with your family shortly after I moved even farther away to FL in 1998, over the years I never stopped saving every Pez dispenser that wandered into our house for Jonathan.
I dunno, it was just my odd little personal connection to him and I couldn't bear to throw them away. About a week before the tragic news, I had the bag of about 20 Pez out on my desk thinking I'd finally mail them to your house. I guessed he'd probably stopped collecting them years ago, but figured it might still be good for a laugh.
Jonathan certainly valued laughter and kept it high on his priority list throughout his life from the sound of all the entries I've read here. I can't understand why his passing happened at such a young age and there are no words to make it any easier to bear. I will always be thinking loving thoughts of you and Jonathan and the rest of your family members.
I am forever grateful for being allowed to spend time with all of you in your home and at the UUCSV. I can't think of the sadness of Jonathan's passing without simultaneously remembering all the joyful times, tremendous gifts and wonderful people that you have in your household and in your life. Hopefully, you can't either.
Much love and continued blessings,
Carol Black

My heart is always saddened by the passing of former students. What a fine, creative young man Jonathan was. May strength and courage be yours during these difficult times. Condolences to all of you from Carol and Jim Black ( Erik's Mom and Dad).

Dear Colleen, Ed & family,
I remember Jonathan from Pete & Diane's wedding. I'm a friend of Sr. Ann's and belong to the Daughters of Charity. Ann shared with me your tragic loss. The responses from so many speaks volumes that you are not alone. I join my deepest sympathy with those who have already expressed their heartfelt wishes for each of you. Although Jonathan was taken from us way to soon his presence has left a lasting mark upon our spirits. I am asking God to be getle with each of you as you continue the painful process of grieving. May God be a source of unmeasurable healing for you in the mystery of God's love and compassion.

The memorial service was beautiful. I'm glad the family opened it to everyone so that we could pay our respects. My fondest memories of Jon are from middle school, I'll always remember his unique outlook on life, it was truly refreshing and he will be missed.

Memories of Jon, for me, and my classmates will be forever indelible. I'll never forget middle school carnival night when a few of us set up a nintendo 64 game system stand, all because Jon thought this was the coolest "new" idea out there. I'll also remember playing one of Jon's favorite games of jail break while at Andy's.
Jon's memorial was tremendously sad and inspirational. I wish I would have been able to spend more time with him, but to respond to something Jon wrote in my high school yearbook I just want to say I was grateful to be a friend. I'll miss ya buddy.

When I heard from my mother that Jon had passed I couldn't believe it... I was thinking.. "no way I just saw him when I was home for x-mas..." that just goes to show how something can be taken from this world as quickly as it is given. Cherrish every moment as if it were your last. Jon was a great person and even though I didn't know him too well it was still fun playing x-box or wii with him over at karl's. His presence was unlike any others. I still remember the Frog hat from Monroe Township. That brings a smile to my face. My prayers are with you Bogner Family. God Bless

I am so sorry, I was so shocked when I read about Jon today in the paper.I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear this news.Jon really seemed like a wonderful person. I know he will be deeply missed,but from what I have read about him, he will always live in many peoples hearts forever. I remember him always chasing after Percy.The one day he ran right outside in the snow in his bare feet cause she went running out the door. I didn't know him real well, but what I did know of him he really was a great person.I am so glad I had the chance to meet him.My prayers and thought are with you all. If you need anything at all just please give me a call.

Collen and Ed,
I'm so surprised and so sorry to read that Jonathan died! I work at Penn College library part-time and saw a condolence email that gave his name. I couldn't believe it, but then I looked for an obituary in the Daily Item.
I do remember the frog hat and what fun he was to have in RGL. I remember him participating in the first heart walk in Lewisburg and subsequent ones at Montour preserve.
I'm glad I had a chance to know him. The world is a sadder place without him.

My mom, Beth, and I are so very sorry to see that this has occured to such a dear, sweet boy who had so much spirit and talent and who had finally gotten to proceed down his chosen career path. He was always kind and had a quiet sense of reserve that touched me deeply. He will be missed by all who knew him but remembered with a smile.

Wow, I don't even know where to start. Jon was such an amazing and beautiful and truely unique person. I feel that my life has been enriched because I was given the opportunity to have known him. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to the Bogner family in this delicate time. Jon was always a breath of fresh air no matter how stale the moment seemed. I will never forget the words of wisdom and encouragement he shared with me throughout the years. To me he was a perfect example of nonconformity. He did his own thing in his own way, and I feel truely blessed to have known him. I just came across a paper he had written in h.s. the other week before I learned of his tragedy- and I had to smile because of course it was about film and cinematography. It took me back to the days when I would take his calculator and type him goofy messages in Mrs. Gavitt's class. When I learned of one of the saddest moments in my life, I wanted to cry, but knowing Jon and who he was... I smiled. He left an amazing legacy behind him and will be dearly missed. God Bless all of you...

My thoughts certainly echo those of my friends and classmates: that we were all blessed to have Jon in our classes and as a friend. He was always there for a laugh, a smile and a memory.
I feel so lucky to have known Jon since our days at Valley Nursery School, through the trials and tough times that high school presented. Throughout those years, Jon was the textbook definition of the drummer marching to his own beat and his outlook on life is one that is to be emulated.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bogner family as well as my fellow classmates and friends of Jon during this difficult time. Stay strong and be brave. Jon wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Dear Bogner Family -- You have my deepest sympathy, and all the support I can muster. It's so strange how we must grapple with impermanence being the only constant in our physical lives. May your inner light continue to shine brightly, as Jonathan’s surely will.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We think of all of you so often with fond memories of our times together. We are deeply saddened and grieve with you. When we think of Jon we remember him as being so laid back and content with life.
We remember him in his frog hat at the pool. He always made everyone smile. May God give you His peace and comfort.

Living down the street from Jon my entire life, I cannot help but be simultaneously heartbroken at his passing and incredibly grateful to have known him. He had a wonderful ability to take the mundane and make it memorable-- from trips to Walmart in the middle of the night to poolside debates about Buffy, what may have seemed like everyday events with someone else are wonderful memories because of Jonathan.
My prayers are with you...
Love,

The Bogner Family,
I am so sorry. Growing up with lyndsey, Jon, and Meredith was a joy. I have so many good, funny, loving memories of your family. Im forever so thankful and grateful that Erica and Lyndsey made that bound/relationship that introduced me to the rest of you. Jon was not like anybody i have ever met. I think of him and cant feel sadness but joy thinking of all the unforgetable things he did and said. As you rememeber Jon was my handsome senior prom date. He wasnt interested in going to prom, he did it for me.(or maybe because his sisters made him)I love you all very much!

I am so sad to hear of the loss you have suffered. I unfortunately only remember Jonathan as a small child through the friendship between my sister and Lindsey. In recent years, my sister always spoke so highly of him and never failed to mention how much fun he was to be with. After reading the testaments from his many friends and family, he is someone who I know has touched many lives. Be strong in this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

There are few memories I have from the age 3-18 that don’t include Jon. He had a way of making even the craziest notions seem like terrific ideas. Spending weekends making videos or playing a game he made up on the spot was just another weekend in my life. From running around the middle school auditorium during the talent show, dressed in a king’s robe, holding a plastic sword playing air guitar to Love Shack to playing a flamboyant talk show host for a Social Studies project that ended up only talking about the subject for 2 minutes of a 10 minute video, Jon knew how to make you smile.
I can’t count the number of times we would be on our way to high school and Jon would be riding his bike or walking because he missed the bus again and we would stop and pick him up, or the summers we lived at the country club pool. He was a unique person who loved his family dearly and had little time for the pettiness of living in a small town. Those of us who were lucky enough to get to know him will hold onto that forever, and the luckier still who were a part of one of his movies can watch and remember a time when things were just simpler.
I am so blessed to have had him in my life, and the memories of time spent with him can only be looked back on and laughed about, and that is exactly how I think Jon would want it.

To the family and the spirit of Jonathan: May you never be separated from the great happiness devoid of suffering. We are all tied to one another through our sufferings and the joy we can share and support we show to one another at the hardest of times.This difficult knowing is beyond reason and the source of both suffering and great love and compassion. May you keep love and compassion in all of your hearts as family, and in what connects us.

Jon,
You will be missed by all who knew you. It was always so wonderful to run into you when I was at home, and share stories between two people who chose to take less traditional paths. I'm glad you kept me company in that way. Keep roaming, and seeking, always.

Dr. Bogner, Colleen, and Girls,
I am so deeply saddened to hear of Jonathan's passing and cannot even imagine the loss that you must feel. I remember Jonathan from the time he was a toddler and then in elementary school and his abundant energy when I used to babysit. There was always an adventure when I was with the kids! I am supposed to be out of town Saturday, so I'm not sure I'll make it to his viewing, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

I have a selfish remorse for the fact that I was not able to spend more time with Jon in the last few years. Bog was a personality that made an indelible mark on everyone who was lucky enough to even share conversation with him.
My deepest condolences to the Bogner family.
I will always remember the "accidental" power outage during the first week of of my first job. Never more scared, never laughed harder. Thanks buddy.

To Meredith, and the whole Bogner family:
While my thoughts and prayers have always been with you, they are especially at this time. When I think about Jonathan, I can only remember how much I always admired his uniqueness, his passion for music and movies, and his absolute devotion to his family.
I was so lucky to have known Jonathan, to have been part of your family, and am always thinking of you.

I don't even know what to say...
There are just so many memories with him from when we were kids and up
until this past summer. He always knew what to do to get laughs out of
people...but the great thing was that i don't even think that he was
trying.
I am so blessed to have been friends with him! I always loved
going to hang out with him, not knowing what we were going to do.
Because i knew that whatever we were going to do, it was going to be
fun and unique.
I will miss you dearly good friend! You have brought a lot of joy in my
life and in others.
I love you Jon!

Jonathon and my youngest daughter, Jan, had a mutual friend and shared experiences such as birthdays and days at the pool. Years later I had the privilege of learning to know Jonathon myself through a writing class at Susquehanna University. I loved watching him and his sister together and enjoyed his sense of humor, not only seen between them but also first hand in working with him. One of the things he shared with me was "the frog hat."
Please know he has touched me and I will always cherish his memory.

To truly know the Jonathan Bogner that I've known since elementary school, and have kept in contact with ever since, is to know someone who completely wiped their hands of "what society deemed correct", and someone who was always there for you. Jonathan since the time I met him was the one person who always did what he felt, not what everyone else thought was "cool", but with that he would always remember the people around him and would always strive to make them happy. I am remembered of many Christmas's where he would put old movies on Ebay just so he would be able to get his sister that one gift that he knew she wanted. On my 21st birthday he vowed he would buy me my first beer at BJ's and he did so with quarters and dimes because he had made a promise. Jonathan might not have always been the one who was front and center in your life, but he was always there in the background, and always available for a night of going to Giant in Bloomsburg for that "one kind of cereal" that only they had, or grabbing chicken noodle soup at the Iron Skillet at 2:00am, or spending the day before New Years this past year driving to Manhattan in a snow storm to see the limited release movie “There Will Be Blood”. There is not one person out there that would ever say anything bad about him, and if you were to ask people about him in a social setting you would hear things like "Bogner's a cool guy, or “do you remember when we did this”, or one that I always resonated; "Bogner is the most intelligent person I know". Maybe all of these amazing traits of Jonathan are the reason why there will never be a day that goes by that he will not be present in my memories, my thoughts, and my feelings about so many different things. The world truly lost an icon last week and I lost a best friend. I'll never forget you Bog..

Bogner hosted 'Egg Fight' even though he was allergic to raw eggs.
He made childhood dreams come true when he unleashed a fire extinguisher in his own home.
He showed us a unique way of tearing down the boundaries that surround us in everyday life. He taught us to take chances and that some rules were meant to be not only broken, but also created. His personality was contagious and his creativity was unrivaled. Bogner had a special way of making good times inevitable. I miss you Bog.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bogner family. Stay strong.

Do not stand at my grave and forever weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
