Peacefully passed away on May 22, 2020 at the age of 36 after a brave and dignified battle with cancer. Pre-deceased by his mother Jan, and survived by his loving and proud father John, his brother Jordan, grandmother Pricilla, his many aunts, uncles and cousins, the MacDonald’s (his de facto surrogate family), and the many, many friends who were by his side throughout his 3 year battle.

Those who were fortunate to have known Jonathan would use the word “unicorn” to describe him, because it seemed that all other adjectives would simply fall short. He was a brilliant, adventurous, interesting and mysterious man, who had a beautiful way of captivating the attention of people. His mere presence would brighten your day.

His legacy will live on through all the lives he touched during his 36 years on earth, through those who loved him remembering the kindness he showed to strangers, the love and loyalty he gave to friends and family, the unexplainable mysticism that anyone who knew him, even for a second, felt when he was in the room. It will live on through remembering his infectious smile, his unique, and at times, infuriating way of doing things, the way he’d make you laugh, his always perfect and polished appearance and his fearlessness and bravery, which stuck with him until the very end.

He was, and forever will be The Unicorn, and the world just won’t be the same without him in it. He was so loved by so many, and will be missed beyond words.
