David Jonas Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jan. 26, 2026.
David Scott Jonas, born on September 27, 1964 in Detroit, Michigan. The beloved son of the late Paul Jonas and Barbara (the late Robert) Banaszewski.

David leaves behind his cat, Louie, daughter Katherine (Pete) Berishaj of Sterling Heights, MI, sister LeeAnna Jonas of Land O' Lakes, FL, nephew Dustin (Lisa) Jonas of Littleton, CO along with several Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and numerous friends.

David enjoyed hunting and fishing. He stated, "he would never leave the state of Michigan," as he loved the four seasons. He was a carpenter by trade, even building his own home before moving to Colorado Springs, CO, for a short time, before moving back to Michigan and venturing into cabinetry as well as wood working.

David was too young to leave this earth and will be greatly missed. He shall be forever in the hearts of his family.
