Jonathan Marchant Obituary

Jonathan will be remembered for a lot of things - like his ability to make a room burst into infectious laughter, or his easy and approachable personality. I think those are both great things about Jonathan, among the many God-given qualities he possessed.

But what I appreciated most about him was his willingness to actually listen - to make you feel heard and appreciated when you felt unheard.

Though God took him home to be in heaven with our Savior and his loved ones far too early, He didn´t take away the memories we shared with Jonathan. Those are ours to keep forever.

He accepted and proclaimed Jesus Christ as his one and true Savior. Let that give us comfort in this sad and tragic time.

Jonathan was a friend of our family and of our daughter, Millie. When we first met Jonathan, we knew he was special. He was so well mannered, polite, kind, and could easily make anyone feel comfortable-especially with humor. We are heartbroken to hear of his tragic passing. We know he is with Our Lord and that gives us peace in this very sad time. Please know that we are praying for your entire family. May Jonathan's memories bring peace and comfort to you all-forever. Much love, Wade, Sharon and Millie Knowles

My deepest sympathies on your loss. There aren't words to express the hurt of losing a loved one, moreover, the loss of a child. May the Lord's hand rest on your hearts to ease the pain. Your family and friends are in my prayers.

Deepest Regards, Vivianne Fuentes, CDK Global

Johnathan and I were good friends in High School at First Baptist. Johnathan had an enormous capacity for fun and humor and never brought anyone down, instead always lifted them up. His passion for cars and all things mechanical was unrivaled and he always loved sharing that passion with others. But most of all he was a kind hearted person at his center who cared very much about those he was close to. Johnathan was a friend to me during a time when few other people were, and I´ll never forget him.

There are no words to express the pain of what your family is going through. Only our personal Savior there to help you walk this path. Tim and I are so very sorry and also praying that your family is at peace. May the Lord comfort you and give you the strength you deserve and need in the days ahead. God bless all of you. We will be praying for peace ahead.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

My heart is breaking for the Marchant Family and I rejoice he is with our Father in heaven and will be waiting for you to enter those gates.

Jonathan was a fantastic young man. He was personable, kind, funny and genuine. He will never be forgotten.

We wanted to let you know that we are praying for you all. We are Riley Marett´s grandparents, Don and Marie Grindstaff and she has shared with us how much she loved Jonathan´s sense of humor and his compassion for people and how he cared for others. We are praying for God´s comfort and peace to surround you all.
