Jonathan Betts

On Saturday, March 16th, my dad, mom and I came home from a happy family spring break road trip to Amelia Island in FL. He passed suddenly at 11:45 that evening due to a heart embolism. The last thing I said to him was Goodnight before bed. Everyone who has heard of this is in shock and disbelief at his untimely loss. Jonathan was an amazing father to me, husband, and a great friend. He was funny, kind, smart, outgoing, and optimistic to everyone that he met. He always had friends in all different areas of life and the interests he enjoyed. Dad was very bold never thinking of his passing or ever planning for the worst ahead.

All that mattered to him was that he wanted me and my mom and our current dogs (June & Remi) to continue comfortably and find support from all his family and friends who jumped into action at the very word of his passing. We are forever thankful for all the help and the amount of love we have received. He wanted to hold up all of my dreams. He was at every sports game, every swim meet, and every event imaginable to show his support for her school life, as well as supporting college. He held a big place in my life and those around me.

But we are asking from the deepest parts of our hearts to donate what you can for me and my continuing college education since I am heading into teaching to pass it forward to my future community. Thank you for your love and support in this tragic time.
