Jonathan Whitcomb

In cherished memory of Jonathan Graham Whitcomb, beloved son, brother, uncle, friend, and devoted community member. Jon's life was taken from him by another driver on Thursday, June 26, 2025. He was twenty-three years old and living into his full potential. Jon excelled in his classes at Sierra College. He was a dedicated member of the Curious Forge, where he created and taught others as an area manager in Laser Cutting. Jon had earned an adult black belt at the Hikari Ryuza Center. He made significant contributions as a teacher, friend, and mentor to many children in the dojo community. Jon leaves five surviving siblings and four nieces and nephews, most especially, Griffin Murphy, who will miss him beyond measure. His parents, Clifford and Leslie Whitcomb, will honor his memory and the promise of his life by caring for his surviving family members, who are deeply grieving Jon and will be forever impacted by his passing.

Cards can be sent to The Whitcomb Family, 18088 Gray Oak Drive, Rough and Ready, CA, 95975.

Donations in Jon's memory can be made to the Curious Forge, Nevada City, CA, 95959 (payments@thecuriousforge.org) in honor of their service to families in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area.
