Jonathan Hartsfield Obituary

Visit the Archer-Milton Funeral Home - Lake Butler website to view the full obituary.

Jonathan Michael Hartsfield, a beloved lifelong mechanic, whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of many, was born on September 19, 1984, in Jacksonville, Florida. Tragically, Jonathan departed this world suddenly on August 15, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Jonathan was known for his huge heart and infectious smile He had an uncanny ability to connect with people, ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. If he started talking, it was hard to get him to stop. He had a passion for his work as a mechanic and was a proud Toyota man.

His life revolved around his family, and above everything else, Jonathan cherished the time he spent with his sons, Dalton and Dylan. Nothing brought him greater joy than being outdoors with them, sharing in the activities he loved most—hunting and fishing.

Jonathan graduated from Belford High School in 2010, but his education was steeped in the School of Hard Knocks, where life lessons were learned through experience. He navigated these lessons with grace and humor, and his ability to tackle challenges made him a role model to many. He will be remembered not only for his skills but also for the deep love he held for his family and friends.

He is survived by his cherished sons Dalton and Dylan Hartsfield; loving parents, Bruce and Cherrill Hartsfield; his brothers Michael (Liz), Ryan, and Jay Hartsfield; his sisters Kayla (Kris) Kadlec and Hope (Damian) Bussen; his grandfather, John Goestenkors; and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and many friends.

In his passing, Jonathan joins his beloved grandfather, Grandpa Duck, his grandmother, GG, grandfather Guy Davis and Gran Dorris Hartsfield, his nephew Arlo Hartsfield, and his best friend, Shane Taylor.

A visitation will take place on August 29, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Archer-Milton Funeral Home, located at 55 N Lake Ave, Lake Butler, FL 32054, followed by a Celebration of Life from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.
