Virginia Beach - Jonathan Robert Henry, 28, went to be with the Lord July 18, 2016 in Jacksonville, FL. Jonathan was born April 4, 1988 in Virginia Beach, VA. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Aurelia Jean Webb and his grandfathers, Robert L. Webb and Dr. John Crockett Henry, and a Uncle Mark A. Webb. He is survived by his grandmother, Martha Crosswhite Henry, his mother, Pamela Webb Henry, his father, Mark Austin Henry, his sister Holly Henry Ecimovic and her husband Jonathan Kiel Ecimovic, his Uncle Robert L. Webb, Jr, his Aunt Mary Anne Eberwine, girlfriend Deana Gerberick, dear friends Dr. Edwin "Doc" Schoen, Pinky Drew and family.

The First Colonial graduate attended the University of North Florida where he was President of the Psychology Club. Recently he took part in a mission trip on behalf of Island Psychology in partnership with the Jamaican Autism Support Association. There Jonathan served as a mentor and teacher to students with special needs. His travels are documented at www.jonathanhenrysite.wordpress.com. Jonathan became interested in music at the age of 8 and was taught to play the guitar with the help of his Uncle Mark. He enjoyed creating music with many of his talented friends in Virginia Beach before going on to college. Music was the center of Jonathan's life. He was a passionate singer, song writer and poet specializing in Indie and acoustic rock music. He used his talents to deliver his love of the world around him and will always be remembered for the depth of his ethereal music and poetry. He had an attractive personality and appealing smile that warmed many people's hearts.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday July 30, 2106 in H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Laskin Rd Chapel at 2:00 p.m. Online condolences may be made to the family at hdoliver.com.

I was looking at photos today from Jonathan and I study abroad trip. Jonathan was truly the light of the trip filled with laughter and great conversation. Working alongside him at the schools gave me an experience that I will always cherish and feel blessed to be have those memories with me for the rest of my life. He is truly missed.

Jon was such a light to all he encountered. I was so happy to reconnect with him in May 2016. We went to UNF together, studied Psychology together and were a part of the same psych club. His kind demeanor and upbeat personality will be greatly missed. My prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

Pam, I will always remember fondly working and getting to know Jonathan. Jonathan was certainly a gentle soul, soft-spoken, and filled with a kind heart. I pray you and your family find comfort in the coming weeks.

Dear Pam and Holly,
I was lucky enough to hear John play his music early on and to listen to him develop as a musician, year after year. He was so talented and as you both certainly know, his guitar playing was truly wonderful, and the love songs he wrote.... wow.... But Pam, to hear him sing them as he recorded by himself with Cory just outsider the room after getting him all set up, well.... those memories will stay with me. We'd all catch each other here and there, listening quietly just out of his sight, makes me smile to think of it...
Jeff and I send wishes of love and comfort to you and yours at this most difficult time. I hope it brings you some level of peace to know Jonathan is in our Lord's loving hands now...

Pam and Holly, I will always remember Jonathan as a spirited musician. He and Kevin forged their love of music at a young age, a time that was full of creativity and adventure. Although I was never allowed to get out of the car when dropping off Kevin for their practices or performances, it was obvious that Jonathan's influence and passion was driving their band's train.
May he rest in peace and may you be comforted by God's loving embrace.

Grief can be a difficult time for all of us right now. Our thought and prayers are with you and your family. I will always cherish the memories I have of Jonathan and he will always hold a special place in my heart as I know he had his struggles but his accomplishments were far beyond those. The foot steps left in his journey will be followed by many. Just remember Holly and Pam, you both are so very special to me and I am so so sorry.
