Dear Jonathan's family, the world has lost a beautiful person. I will never forget the times we had Jonathan in our home as a young boy all the way up until the last time I saw him at a gymnastics Competition in Tallahassee. He had brought his fiancée by to meet everyone and share in the celebration of a competition He always had a smile on his face and a peaceful aura around him. God bless him, I know he is in heaven.
