Jonathan Michael Sutherland, age 42, passed away peacefully at his home on December 6, 2025, after several years battling interstitial lung disease (ILD). He was born on February 5, 1983, in Bellingham, Washington, to Timothy and Janis Sutherland.

Jon was an avid hunter and fisherman and spent many years working in the Dungeness crab and salmon fisheries. He also had a strong passion for gardening and was known for his ability to grow and cultivate plants, flowers, and trees.

He was a beloved son, father, brother, and uncle. He is survived by his parents, Timothy and Janis Sutherland; his sister, Jessica (Ean) Emery; his niece, Ciara Sutherland; his wife, Tiffany; and his daughter, Braelyn.

A family gathering will be held at a future date.
