May the outpouring of sympathy,the kind acts of fiends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.
I ask to God\’s blessings on you and your wonderful family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived.
yours in Peace,
Francisco and Family, from Las Cruces, NM.
I was sadden to hear that you are gone. I enjoyed working with you at Aetna and the laughter and good sense of humor that you had. Now that you are in a better place, I’m praying for your family! Until we meet again, RIP Jonathan ((())) cyberhugs

We had many talks, many laughs, and many good times. I am so shocked and saddened that you’re gone Jonathan. May you rest in peace!
I still til this day can’t believe your gone there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about u or replay how I found out you were gone, it broke my heart to see you laying there I kept praying that this was a joke I wanted nothing more but to hug you and apologize for everything but I realized that I’ll never get the opportunity. I tell Quinton when he wants to talk to you to just pray to you and you will hear him, losing you has been hard I struggle with it on the daily basics all the disagreements we had I never thought I would lose the opportunity to say I’m sorry and love you for being the father you are to our son he has so much of your personality it’s unreal. I was truly blessed to know you. I just wish I had another chance to say all that I needed to say and hug you. I’m forever grateful for the love and relationship our son has with his grandparents it mean the world to me and Quinton.
