I don´t even know where to begin...I had no idea that my friend had even passed away, my heart hurts for your family, friends, & anyone else who was blessed enough to have met you, let alone call you a friend. "A beautiful soul" that´s what I think of when I hear your name, so sweet and kind. This world will never be the same without you in it but it´s damn sure better for having the little bit of time it did with you! Love and miss you Jonathan Rest At Peace

At Dakotas!

With so much love and so little time I can’t believe I never got the chance to be that future ex-wife like we said! Haha and you always asked me to sing for you everytime you saw me and I sang “tears in heaven” for you this morning and at the end of the song I looked to my right and there was the most beautiful heaven ray shining down from the sky and all I could do was smile and cry! Love you Teddy Bear! See you later..
My deepest condolences to all his family and children. He will live on through all of those who loved him.

My prayers and condolences to the Chretein family first and foremost. I truly have to say, you will be missed by many, and loved by numerous. Jon O, as I read 2 Timothy 4:7-8, I know that you are well resting and at peace, God plucked His flower and you bloomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, no more sorrow, tears, or heartaches, nothing but rest. You done your part, now it's up to us to get where you are, because we all will have to cross the river of Jordan and I want to be on the ship Zion and see you again. We had many, many of fun moments it was never a dull moment with you. I can go on and on, but I'm not. Ms.Faye and Mr Lash, I can't imagine, it's going to be some high mountains and low valleys, some ups and down, just keep leaning toward Jesus and I know for a fact, the He will make everything alright. Look to the hills from which your help comes from. And to his siblings and nieces and nephew, hold your head up be there for Matty and the boys, because they going to need help alone the way. To his friends and softball family Psalms 90 and 91. Love and peace to all, May God heal,bless,protect, and provide. Brian Jackson and the Jackson Family

I met Jonathan around 3 years ago. From the day I met him it was like he was family, there was never a time I ran into him anywhere that he didn’t hug you, ask how you were and offer to buy you a drink. He was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. The gentle giant! The body guard! He would not let anyone mess with his friends! He Always had a smile! Loved life and lived it to the fullest! I’m truly blessed to have known him. He will be greatly missed!

Jonathan, I'll never forget how we met, you asked me if I played softball and I said no, I was the team cheerleader and then the next day you saw me covered in dirt!! Our friendship grew from there. I will miss our talks, Top Golf, hanging at Dakotas and my visits to Lake Charles. You were a wonderful man and I will always cherish my times with you. Your children will always know what a great dad they had because people only have wonderful things to tell them about you. You loved them so much and they know it. Rest in peace big guy and I know I will see you again someday ♡.

I was blessed to have been friends with such an amazing man practically all of my life. From kids to adults, Jonathan and I had good times together. It was never a dull moment whenever he was around. He was always sweet, kind, and funny. He had a smile that could light up a room and a hug so big that it could only bring joy. Our conversations always ended in laughter as if we were kids once again and we would catch up where we left off. Jonathan will definitely be missed, but his laugh, love, and kindness will forever live on! I’m praying for his family and everyone who knew and loved him. Love you Jonathan!

To Big Jon,
You were always so happy when you saw me. Im not even sure where we met, you just always been there. Whether it was opening day of tee ball for our kids or way back to when I was playing baseball myself. Buddy I will miss seeing that smile go from ear to ear when you would see me walk in church or a high school basketball game then in Dakota’s after we both obviously had long days at work. Alot of memories since I was a kid have you somewhere in the mix. I will miss you my friend. Rest easy.
From my heart, Quincy Higgins
