Jonathan Hill, sunrise October 19, 1972, Sunset July 18, 2025. Jonathan was born to his devoted mother, Renee Hill; father, Isaiah Harper in Joliet, Illinois.

Jonathan is preceded in death by his cherished grandmother, Lucille Hill, and his special aunt, Sonja Borom.

He leaves to cherish his memories his beloved daughters, Jasmine Hill and Alexis Hill, and his devoted mother, Renee Hill; father, Isiah Harper; and loving siblings, Ashley Hill, Nija Hill, Reginald Autman, Seven Harper, and Kiesha Harper, and his loving Grandson Kairo Hill. Special aunts Dawn Jones and Winifred Hill; special nieces Jordyn Craig (Number 1), Jaylynn Craig (Number 2), Ja'Miiyah Doss, Brook'Lynn Doss, and Madison Doss (Square Garden): Special sister-cousins Kayln Jones, Aleisha Jones, and Ebony Hill.

From a young age, Jonathan accepted Christ and lived a life marked by kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for his family. As the eldest sibling and the first nephew in the family, he held a special place in the hearts of many and was deeply cherished by all who knew him.

Jonathan will be remembered as a compassionate and giving man who would offer his last to someone in need without hesitation. He was adored by five of his nieces, who affectionately called him "Uncle Jon-Ja-Jen," a nickname that always brought a smile to his face.

Jonathan's warmth, loyalty, and unforgettable presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
