Jonathan truly loved all of his family and would do anything he could for his daughters. He was passionate about playing the electric guitar, riding motorcycles, going to the gym (showing off his muscles of course) and golfing. He would light up the room when he walked in with his confidence and would do anything to bring a smile to someone's face. He was always cracking jokes, loved to be goofy and enjoyed having a good time with both family and friends. He was an extremely hard working and motivated man. He was so patient with his three daughters, from taking them to the mall, to protecting them from all the troubles of the world.
Jonathan was simply an amazing man. He will truly be missed.
Friends and family are invited to gather Sunday, February 2, 2025 from 1-4PM at Southwick Forastiere Funeral & Cremation, 624 College Highway, Southwick, MA followed by a 4PM Celebration of Life Ceremony. For online condolences please visit www.forastiere.com
