I don’t know how to move on without my dad but I know I have to to make him proud and I will continue to go on and make something of myself to make him proud
My dear friend, its hard to fully describe how special you were and how much you will be missed. I will miss our conversations we had , especially when we were alone . I will miss your sense of humor and quick wit . I will even miss our griping sessions about Greg, even though we both love the heck out of him . Above all ,I will miss your loyalty to your son and also to the ones you knew were your friend. I will miss the way you were quick to handle the ones who did wrong and deserved to be put into place. And still found forgiveness for them. You were an amazing father and Cayson is every proof of it .The Good Lord must've had important things for you to do up there .I love you Jonathon. You meant so much to Gillian and I and you always will. Knowing your at peace makes the loss a little easier. You will forever remain in our thoughts, mostly our hearts and you will never be forgotten.
I only had the honor and blessing of knowing Jonathan for about a year. I loved his calmness and kindness most of all. He was an instant friend and I'll miss our talks and just his sweet disposition. I watched him on numerous occasions exhibit his kindness and extend a helping hand to anyone who needed it...friend or stranger. To his sweet parents, the apple fell close, my deepest sympathy. To Cayson, his sweet son, that apple also fell close, your dad loved you beyond measure, and his biggest regret was that he wasn't physically able to do alot of fun things with you, like playing ball in the yard. He was proud of you and knew in his heart that you would grow up to be a fine man. I , like so many, will truly miss you Jon! Thank you for the time spent with you!
Lord where do I start you were always there for me and Pat when we needed a get away from the crazy world we live in. You always made us laugh even knowing we were having a bad day. So many times door dashing me and pat would just stop by to visit and check on ya to see how you were doing jamming out to some jelly roll in the garage making us snow cones and just chilling

Sitting here thinking about you I can remember every single time that you took me in out of the cold that you fed me that you take care of me when I had no one on this Earth to turn to when the whole world has shut me out you were there for me you had a heart of gold and you were taking far too early I will always miss you making cotton candy for me and Jesse and I will miss in the summertime when you made us snow cones cuz we couldn't afford to go and buy any I will always cherish every drop of advice that you gave me and I want to thank you so much for being my friend and I want to thank you for forgiving all of my faults thank you for the love you showed even though it was only for a while most definitely not long enough just because we didn't talk anymore didn't mean that I didn't care about you just as much as I did from day one I had nothing but mad respect and mad love for your amazing soul it is true my heart is broken and my eyes do cry but your pain is all over as you rest in the sky with a broken heart filled with unconditional love I have to find the strength to say my final goodbye but it's not for forever and always it's just until it's my time see u on the other side.
