“Jonathan held a steadfast love and appreciation for the great outdoors, relishing his time spent on walks and hikes, especially in Upstate New York. When not surrounded by the embrace of the woods, Jonathan immersed himself in the pluckings of the bass guitar, whether creating his own music or listening to his favorite indie or alternative rock tunes.
Jonathan also excelled in Mixed Martial Arts. Extremely talented in the kitchen, Jonathan enjoyed creating his own signature recipes, many of which were enjoyed by the guests of Tavern 19 at the Suneagles Golf Club in Eatontown where he was most recently employed.
Jonathan was also hilarious, with his quick-witted and intelligent humor. Jonathan’s spirit of generosity led him to volunteer with Lunch Break, to teach music at A Little Class Preschool in Asbury Park and as a final and selfless gift, Jonathan gave the gift of life of organ and tissue donation through the NJ Sharing Network.”
