Jonathan also had many “fake” aunts and uncles, cousins and many friends who made his short life so fulfilling. Jonathan was a lifetime resident of Gretna, LA but spent his weekends and holidays in Pass Christian Isles, MS. He loved to fish, hunt, and boat there. Jonathan was a graduate of Brother Martin High School and William Carey College. He also attended Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology-Okmulgee. He was serving an internship at Jefferson Orthopedics for Orthotics and Prosthetics. Jonathan never knew a stranger, he lived life on the edge, and had an accident in which there was no way to recover from. He will be sadly missed but forever in our hearts. He brought a smile to everyone he met. Jonathan will live on in the many lives he helped to save by being an organ donor.
