I did not know Jonathon but when I read obituaries of when the young pass away and it makes my heart cry tears. I am so very sorry for your loss of your son and brother and grandson. Words are never enough during these sorrowful times in ones life. May you be comforted with our Lord Jesus during this hard time of walking through the valley of death. (Psalm 23). Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” My prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow.
