Help Support the Wah Family: In Memory of Jonathan Wah

With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news that our dear friend and valued employee, Jonathan Wah, has passed away after bravely battling cancer and complications from organ failure. Jonathan’s fight was one of incredible strength, and while he is no longer with us, his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Jonathan was the middle child of Grace Wah and Moo Ler, who fled religious, ethnic, and political persecution in Burma through the NC Refugee Assistance Program. They built a new life in Carrboro and eventually settled in Haw River. Jonathan’s family, including his older sister Jennifer and younger brother Jefferson, have always been pillars of the Karen Community Church. The Wah family’s resilience and unwavering strength shaped Jonathan into the compassionate, hardworking young man we cherished.

Jonathan grew up in our community, attending Scroggs Elementary, Culbreth Middle School, and graduating from Carrboro High School. He was a dedicated student and a hardworking young man, always striving to better himself. We met Jonathan while he was attending Alamance Community College, where he was training to become an HVAC technician. Even at just 20 years old, he showed remarkable maturity, kindness, and work ethic that touched everyone around him. Jonathan’s life, though far too short, was one filled with love, perseverance, and a deep commitment to his family and community.

Sadly, despite having insurance, Jonathan’s family is still burdened with significant medical bills and funeral costs. His passing has left a hole in the hearts of all who knew him, and his family now faces the added strain of these financial challenges.
