My name is Jonathan and I am the son of John, my father unexpectedly lost the battle of life recently and to help offset some of the cost in everything associated with the loss of his life I have started this fundraiser. Anything helps.

My father was a simple man who loved his guitar and the people he had left in his life. He taught me me many things about the world and life, and the kindness I show to others I owe to his lessons. He was a smart, kind, and talented man who often gave more to the world more than he was shown. He had his struggles as we all do, but he pressed on like the rest of us try to. I am 24 years old and the last conversation I had with him was May 25th, 2023 a day before my birthday in which he shared as he always did how much the day meant to him and how much he loved me. All I have left are a many recordings of his music that he was to shy to share with the world, for which I will cherish. If you would like to listen to one here is a video of him playing a song.

Be kind to the people around you, love completely. Give your parents a hug if you can. Thank you.
