Ashley & Andrew
Still in shock, I can't believe he's gone. Jonathan was a wonderful father. He loved Andrew so, so very much. He would have done anything for his kids. I still remember the day Andrew was born as if it were yesterday and how happy he was on that day. He was so proud! Jonathan was a good person with a beautiful heart. He will be missed dearly by both, Andrew and I.
Blanca, Ruben, and the rest of the family, my heart goes out to you. All of you will be kept in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. God bless you.

Jonathan opened the doors of his new home to me without knowing me at all. He had a huge heart and his memory will forever be with us. I promise to help care and raise your children and care for your family. You will be missed greatly. Family, I am truly sorry for this loss, please stick together and love on each other. Blanca and Ruben, the pain you are feeling is unimaginable to me and I hurt immensely for you and pray God gives you the strength to overcome.

Jonathan, you and your family have always been very close to us. We watched you grow up and you became a fine young man. It doesn't seem right that you are no longer with us. We will miss you, Son! God has wonderful plans for you! We just need to accept that and live your glorious life with our Lord Jesus Christ! Until we meet again my son... Remember we love you!
