Jonathan fought a long and rough battle with multiple health issues.

He was one of a kind, there was never a dull moment in his presence. He worked for many years as a Coal Truck driver for Coal Mac, Strip Miner for Mingo Logan, and a Logger. He also enjoyed serving his community & surrounding areas as a member of the Wharncliffe Volunteer Fire Dept.
