    When I first met John, I was at a point in my life where I felt like life got away from me and I ended up in prison. Couple wrong decisions had me feeling down, but when I enter the pod where John was. We instantly connected - we started talking about our goals once we got out. We remained positive. He had a true heart for friendship and he never gave me less than that. I appreciate the time being his friend, truly do. He will be missed and never forgotten. I knew only God could call for him. Rest easy my boy. Watch over us until we meet again your boy KAY😥

    I am so sorry to hear of Jonathan's passing. He was one of very close friends in middle school. We spent so much time at his house which soon turned into our safe haven during those trying years. Obviously we all grew up and went to different high schools so we drifted apart. I was lucky enough to see him a couple of times in our adult years and it was as if no time had passed. My heart truly breaks for his family. I can only hope that he is finally at peace and no longer struggling with his inner issues. Please know that we are praying and thinking of you during this very hard time.

    I grew up with jon. He was not only my best friend but he was my boyfriend for quite a long time. I loved him with all of my heart. We had our ups and downs but I will never forget his kind eyes, his huge heart and that contagious laugh and smile. This world has truly lost a one of a kind person. My birthday will never be the same and it will now consist of overwhelming memories of high school and the shenanigans that jason, jon and I got into. RIP Jonathan michael. I know we didnt see eye to eye christine but my prayers are with you and Richard as well as Marie, Mariah and Chris.

    Jon, I still cant believe that you're gone. I feel like I've lost so many people in my life but I didnt think it was gonna be you. I always thought that me and you were going to live a very long life together side by side. I know we've done some questionable things together, but I never thought this would have ever happened. We lived our lives to the fullest and I loved that about us, there wasnt a day that went by without us going out and doing something exciting. We sure weren't the type that would sit at home and do nothing. It was always fun, no matter what we did. I'm really going to miss the times that we had and the times that we should have had. Jon, you were truly a one of a kind, a person that I would of done anything for, my best friend! I know its gonna take a while for me to really accept that you're gone, I still haven't come to terms with it, but I know that you're in a lot better of a place now. I know that you'll be one of our guardian angels now and watching over us to make sure we stay on the right path. I miss you man. I'll see you in our next lifetime!

    I was with John almost everyday for 2 years straight… He was the sweetest guy you could ever meet, and he was the best friend I ever had on earth… He taught me a lot in life, but most importantly showed me what a good loyal friend is supposed to be like… not a day goes by I don’t miss him. May he Rest In Peace..
