Jonathan Bier Memoriam

JONATHAN DAVID BIER May 1, 1985 - February 4, 2005 Jonathan, on behalf of grandfather, Harry; grandmothers, Phylis and Shirley; mom and dad, Dave and Catie; sisters, Jen and Missy; aunts and uncles, Elaine, Ellen, Daniel, Kim, Alison, Mary, Indra, Dave, Wendy, Craig, Chris, Leslie, Jason and Lory; and cousins, Elaine, Shirley, Sean, Nathan, Ivy, Kristi, Eric, Elisa, Joseph, Carney, Taylor, Kylie, and Isabel; and all of your loving and devoted friends that were at your memorial, we wish you a very, very happy 20th birthday. We can imagine you enjoying your new life with your new friends and family by your side, basking in the glow of your lively spirit with a grin on your face and a brewsky in your hand. We all want you back by our sides, smiling, partying, joking and hugging us all as only you could, alas, all we can do now is cherish our many, many fond memories of you. You were everyone's son, everyone's friend, everyone's lover, and everyone's brother. You and your girl, Stephanie, died too violently and much too young. May all the families of Pacifica learn from your lives, and from your deaths, and as a result live long, healthy lives in your honor. We urge our friends to support the institutions that were a meaningful part of Jonnie's life, and the ones that have evolved as a result of his tragic passing. Please give generously to the Pacifica National Little League, P.O. Box 1163, Pacifica, CA 94044; the Jonathan Bier Memorial Scholarship Fund c/o Terra Nova High School, 1125 Terra Nova Blvd. Pacifica, CA 94044; and the Partnership for a Safe Healthy Pacifica c/o [email protected]. Please share with us the memories of Jonathan Bier and Stephanie Echeverri's lives in the memorial website at gojonnygo.net. Jonny, you will always be with us and we will always love you very, very much!
