Jonathan Wareing

2012 - 2015

Jonathan Darwin Wareing, age 3, was called home unexpectedly on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015 as a result of a farming accident doing what he loved most.

Jonathan was born April 2, 2012 to his parents, Jade and Katheryn Wareing of Rose, Idaho. Jonathan did not let his two month premature arrival slow him down. He soon caught up to his older sister, Samantha.

He was a very affectionate boy, always telling his family that he loved them and bestowing them with hugs and kisses. He dearly loved his sister, Samantha, taking turns playing with cars, tractors, dolls, pretend house or school or anything else that Samantha wanted to play.

Jonathan was looking forward to becoming a big brother and teaching his little brother how to play with cars. He enjoyed helping to care for the family dogs, Harley, Smokey, and especially Jasmine. He had a great love for his primary and day care teachers. Outside of his family and teachers, his cute smile with his wrinkled nose won the hearts of friends and neighbors. Jonathan considered anyone he knew for longer than five minutes his friend.

Jonathan loved any round object that could possibly be used as a steering wheel. He would pretend to drive to familiar places such as town or Idaho Falls for shopping or Rupe's for milkshakes. He would gather all the passengers he possibly could to play pretend with him. Jonathan loved singing and making his family laugh. He loved to be tickled and would ask for more, right after the tickling had stopped.

Early on he developed a love for cars, trains and especially tractors. He eagerly looked forward to getting home from day care during the week or getting dressed early on Saturday morning, so that he could go into the backyard and pretend to drive his daddy's tractor.

Jonathan loved to learn and was very excited to start preschool. He had his backpack ready to go and had already been eagerly practicing writing his name. Although he will be dearly missed, we know that Jonathan is in a Celestial place and that our Father in Heaven will now be his teacher.

He is survived by his parents, Jade and Katheryn Wareing of Rose, Idaho; sister, Samantha of Rose, Idaho; grandparents, Darwin and Peggy Wareing of Rose, Idaho; aunt, Angie (John) Young; and cousins, Logan, Hunter and Skyler of Idaho Falls, Idaho; aunt, Allise (Mike) Farrell; and cousins, Cole, Bo and Jake of Bountiful, Utah; great- grandparents, Eugene and Frankie Whipple of West Jordan, Utah; great-grandparents, Clyde and Dayle White of Salt Lake City; grandparents, Steven and Kelly Whipple of Riverton, Utah; aunt, Jennifer (Ryan) McLean; and cousins, Tiffany and Elizabeth of Riverton, Utah; uncle, Benjamin Whipple of Ohio; aunt, Rebecca Whipple of Montana; uncle, Kayden Whipple of Riverton, Utah.

Jonathan was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Pete and Lucille Wareing of Rose, Idaho; twin cousins, Kaitlyn and Mikayla Young of Idaho Falls, Idaho; and great- grandparents, C. Brian and Dorothy O'Neil of Vernal, Utah.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug, 14 ,2015, at Rose LDS Church, 403 North 150 West in Blackfoot.
