John W. Bonner, Shango Ade Lona, Priest of Shango

Alafia to all, our names are Jon S. Bonner (Bunmi), Brandon O. Bonner (Ogunade), Emily N. Stitz and Jakai Wolfe Bonner, sons, stepdaughter and Grandson of Shango Ade L'ona, John Bonner. Unfortunately, our loved Father passed away on Friday, August 12th, 2022.

Many who knew our Father knew of his decades of study with much passion for Metaphysics, Philosophy, Ifa and the Ori. He was a Martial Artist, Music Lover, Tennis Lover, Photographer, Avid Chess Player, and Forever Student with Decades of Study on various topics, making our Father a Natural Professor, Teacher, and Mentor for many.

He prepared us in the best ways to become grown, respectful young adults; we appreciate all our Father has taught us and made us aware of. We plan to carry on his legacy and have been given his files of studies and music.

We are creating this post to help with Funeral, Memorial and Medical expenses. We would appreciate it if you could donate to this cause; if not, please share this post with friends. Any amount will help us. In lieu of flowers, please donate or share this page.

Thank you, Modupe

May his journey to the heavens be smooth and complete. May his ancestors be on the other side with open arms and love. Ashe
