Jonathan, Saturday will be two years that you’ve been gone. I just can’t believe it’s been that long. I still question how you could be taken from us. I miss your warm friendly smile. I miss your corny jokes and I miss watching you with Kaden. Oh, you would find such enjoyment in watching him…he is so smart. What a personality he’s developing and what a little goofball…just like his daddy. I still feel pain when I look into Kelly’s eyes: she still misses you terribly. She has her hands full with work and Kaden, though you would be equally proud of her. She’s a rock, but I don’t know how she could’ve come this far without the Christian faith you inspired in her…thank you.

Please continue to be our angel watching over us from where you are. I’m sure you are aware that your mom is not doing well and would be much happier with you. If you would just call to her, she will hear you and take your hand and be finally free.

You are still very much in my daily thoughts and life without you is still a painful and empty place. I love you!

I never knew you and wish it was different circumstances that lead me to meet and become friends with your beautiful Kelly.. Give her the strength to get through this weekend. She is an amazing woman , but we can all use a little hug from above now and then. You and all your family will be in my thoughts and prayers this weekend.

Hello Son,
October 1st is tomorrow. We think about you constantly. I am so glad that we had that nice conversation two nights before God took you home. Your Father and I will morn forever, but it will always had some of the pain removed because you were the kind of son that brings nothing but pride to our hearts. Your Father is getting a little better. I know its because you have been our Angel and I know you loved your Father with all your heart. I feel your presence all the time. I really love meeting your friends and people that you barely knew, because I always hear the same stories. How you lifted them up in some way and how they will never forget you. What a great calling God gave you while you were with us! We wished we could see Ashlyn. Maybe someday. There is always hope.
Your family is growing! We have babies everywhere! We will enjoy telling them about their Uncle and what a great man he was.
Love You With All Our Hearts!

Your niece recognizes your picture. She is the most precious, gourgeous, absolutely perfect little girl the world has ever seen (spoken like a completely unbiased father). Your namesake nephew Jonathan crawls like a champion. His twin brother Jameson can't crawl yet and just spins in circles as Jon-Jon makes his way around the room. Please even the score between these two. Your sister misses you everyday. You will have a new niece or nephew in the next week or so. We know every sacred event in our lives would have been better if shared with you. Its amazing you have been gone almost as long as I knew you, but I miss you everyday.

I trust you will will Adrian Peterson to rookie of the year. If you weren't carrying some weight up there my sons wouldn't have been born on the day OU won the Big 12 championship.

You are still thought about everyday. I continue to pray for Kelly, Kaden and the rest of your family daily. There are so many of us that wish we could do more to help. May God continue to watch over your wonderful family and bring them peace that only He can give.

My heart secretly breaks everytime I see your picture. I don't show it but it is oh so true. She is tough, Jon. Her faith holds her together and for that, she is a much better person that many could dream of being. We'll all watch out for her by your grace. I wish now I would have known you better.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Kaden and I love you so much and miss you more than anything. We went to the cemetary today and Kaden sang the Happy Birthday song to you. We sang it once together and then he sang it on his own. He even said Daddy instead of Kaden on the Happy Birthday to...part! That was the first time he sang that song by himself and the first time he ever said anything other than "Happy Birthday to KADEN!"

It amazes me how he knows from the moment we get off the highway where we are going. He says, "Go see daddy?" And again today, just like on Memorial day he asked for me to put him down and he said "kisses" and then kissed YOUR side of the headstone. I know all of this is way to hard for his little two year old mind to comprehend, but somehow he does.

It is evident to Kaden and I every single day that a huge chunk of our lives is missing and that's you. I still don't know how I've made it this far without you.

Someone told me something the other day. They said, "You will spend way more days with Jonathan than without him," and although it's hard to deal with now because now seems like forever, what they said is true. You are in a perfect place now and someday when God decides, I will join you, but until then I'll be missing you and remembering you always.

Kaden and I are getting together with all of my family and your dad and Phyllis tonight to celebrate your life. We all love and miss you so much. Thank you for being someone who will never be forgotten because of the life you lived. You are an inspiration to all. You are the reason I can keep going, because of what you taught me when you were here.

Jonathan,

Today, Father's Day, would have been a great day for you and your family. It seems virtually all holidays eventually turn our conversations to reflections and memories of you. Your sister and I took Samantha, Jonathan and Jameson to the Royals game. Last week I went to Chicago and hung out with Brian. I got kind of drunk and sang the Humpty Dance at some 3/4's empty bar. Needless to say I looked and felt like an idiot. We love you and miss you.
