It is with a heavy heart that I write to you all...the family of Johnathan. I so enjoyed getting to know him and having him work on our program. His work ethics were an example for young people to pay attention to. He will be missed by so many. There are no words to help the pain of losing one so young...his life had only just begun. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Beverly Taylor

Oh, my, our hearts ache with the family and friends over this untimely death of our dear friend and your precious family member. In Junior High, J. T. was a constant pleasure showing us respect with his special smile. Whenever I have seen him since those days, he was always a kind, friendly young man. It warms my heart to know he had Jesus in his heart and we are comforted to know that as believers, we see him again in heaven. Thank you for printing his testimony in his obit giving others the chance to know Jesus. God had something for J.T. to do, so he called him Home and holds in His loving arms. Love, Hugs, and Prayers, Beverly and Carl Bear

J.T. was in my seventh grade Science class. Since then, I've taught his younger sisters. Meadow is currently in my 8th grade Science class. He will be missed by his friends, family and teachers. I pray for peace and healing for all the family members.

Got to know JT while working with him over the last year at McDonald's. Still can't believe he is gone and I'll never see his smiling face back in grill. You still had so much left to give and you will be greatly missed.

I am sorry for your loss. It is such a tragedy to lose a loved one at such a young age. I spoke to JT most every morning as he arrived at school while I monitored students inside the HHS commons. I was happy to read in his obituary that he was saved.
