Jonathan,
I remember you when we rode the school bus together. I remember when you were singing with your MP3 player. I miss you. You were the very best.
Jonathan was an absolutely amazing young man. I met him over a decade ago at Camp Discovery (Liberty). His spirit, humor and love for others will live on. Despite being afflicted with EB, perhaps the most painful and debilitating of diseases, he lived his life with the utmost grace and courage. I am a better person for having known him as he taught me so much of dealing with this horrible curse. Camp will never be the same without him zipping around and that mischievous smile of his. I will never forget at our first camp dance when near the end of the evening he popped out of his wheelchair and started dancing with us! He brought the house down!
God bless you, Jonathan and my heartfelt condolences to your loving family. You are inspirational in how well you cared for him.

We are sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So sorry to hear of Jonathan's passing!! I have such wonderful memories of him in my art classes at SES. He was ALWAYS smiling, ready with a quip or joke and ready to make others smile. I never heard him complain, whine or feel sorry for himself. He, even thought he was dealing with a dreadful disease, seemed to make me joyful to be working with him. Thank you, Jonathan, for making my world a better place. Rest in peace, without pain. Love, Mrs. Dee Paradis
SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS 🙏
I did not know Jon, nor have I had the pleasure to have met him, but have no doubt that I would have liked him based on his courage and strength to live the way he wanted to, considering the obstacles he faced. He sounds like an amazing young man. I work with his dad, Dominic, and my heart truly goes out to him as well as all of Jon’s family.
I am so sorry for the loss of Jon, my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow. 🙏🏽😢💔
Boucher Family is very sorry for your loss. Wish your family our deepest sympathy and prayers for your son Jonathan.
