I can remember Jonathan from when we were kids and would play together. The one thought that always sticks out from that time is that I always thought he was such a good person. He will be missed by me and many. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My daughter, Jill, was in school at Rivier with John, and when I would visit I would see John and would like you to know how much we admired him. A person like John teaches others a lot about life. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I did not personally know Jonathan, but I do know Lexi. She so loved her brother. He was so special to her. He was here for such a short time, but he made an impact on those who knew him. May Jesus hold him in his loving arms, and may his memory be eternal.

Jonathan brought determination and a sense of humor with him to school each and everyday. He not only provided inspiration to his peers, but also a little comic relief which frequently livened up my third grade classroom. His presence in this world will truly be missed, but we can take comfort knowing his legacy of determination and good will lives on.

The best of souls seem only to be entrusted to us for a short time. They face the greatest of struggles in life with patience and strength as examples to us all.
May Jonathan have rest now, and his family take comfort in knowing that they did all they could to give him a good life while he was on this earth. Let the strength Jonathan demonstrated throughout his life now flow to his family as they face this time of loss.
