Jonathan, I just want to express my dearest sympathy to your Mom and Dad. You went to heaven exactly one year before my son Jude and through God, I found your parents who were there for me when my son Jude went to heaven exactly one year later. From all I have heard about you, YOU were amazing! Love to you and your family...Linda Terrio Pizzitola
Dear Son- On the second anniversary of our having to take you off life support, we are as lost without you as ever. Not a moment goes by that we don't miss your energy, your smile, your long hugs, and your caring spirit for everyone. We pray that you will be the one to meet us on the other side. All our love, Mom, Dad, Mike, and Kathryn
I was so sorry to hear of Jonathan's passing. He was a very special young man. I can remember quite vividly his kindness, goodness, and deep spirituality. He was a true warrior for God and a young man after God's own heart, in my estimation. I loved him.
I will always remember you as an impressive and remarkable young man. I saw Jesus in you when I met you Jonathan, you inspired me-you still do. Steve, Cassy, Mike, and MJ...you are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all as my brothers and sisters in Christ. You are beautiful people, and I hope our paths cross again in this life.

Mr. & Mrs.DiLeo, There are many feelings I could share with you about Jon. He was, among many things, an inspiration to me. Within our over-filled school, Jonathan was one of my closest friends. He and I shared many hours a day, since freshman year. It is hard for me to even say how much I miss him. After reminiscing over what a terrific buddy Jon was, I decided that I just need to remember him. My favorite memory is freshman year. There was a dance that was only open to freshmen and seniors. This was awesome and it was a karokee dance. Anyway, there was a large group of us dancing and watching everyone sing. I have always loved to sing, but struggle with self-confidence. Jon picked up on my desire to go sing. He was my shove to go up. Him and I, along with a small group, went up and and sang "AllStar" by Smashmouth. It was amazingly hilarious! I can still taste his hair in my mouth. Jon and I shared a microphone and he was belting it out even though he knew that he was terrible. He made my night. His courage and sincerity spread to anyone and everyone around him. I love him dearly and hope to relay my sincere remorse for our loss. I know though that one day I will meet up with him again. I can't wait! We'll be singing! Love, Janelle Cooper
P.S. Jon's service was beautiful. He loved it. I'm sure.
I did not deserve to have such an amazing person in my life as Jonathan was, and I'll never forget him. I will forever strive to become a better person, in order to follow the shining example that he set. I only wish I was strong enough as a person to show him the love he showed me. Jonathan was a selfless, kind, and beautiful person, and I am certain that God simply could not wait to have His beloved child back in His arms.
Will be dearly missed. Was a great friend to my children and his love for us was astounding. It is my prayer that your wish to irrigate the orphanage in Zimbabwe will be met. Forever loved
My colleague, Dr. Allen England, has kept us informed about Jonathan's illness so that we could pray for him and all of you. We do deeply regret your loss and continue to pray for your strength and comfort. May the Lord give you grace and hope through the Lord Jesus Christ during this difficult time. Walter Brown
You will always be remembered. May God welcome you among his angels and keep you safe. May God bless and comfort your family and friends who miss you. Amen.
My heart goes out to the family of Jonathan. I went to FHS last year and he helped me out with alot of things. He will truly be missed, and I truly regret not going to the services on Wednesday. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
