I am so saddened by this huge loss. Jonathan was such a great man. I have such fond memories of him in high school, and I feel honored to have gotten to know him into adulthood. His presence will be dearly missed....we were so looking forward to him drafting Manny on his team this spring. I know he will be there in spirit watching all of those little boys he has raised over the years at that ballpark! Ruthie, your family is so special to me. I love you lots and my heart hurts for you and your sons...and for the many people Jonathan has touched in his life.

I was very shocked and sadden to hear of Jonathan's passing. I am sure his passing has left a huge hole in all the hearts of those that knew him. Jonathan taught me so much in the 6 years I worked for him. He will be truly missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry hearing about Jonathans death. I was a neighbor of the Wolfes Family my entire life. Having four boys, their house seemed to be the center where all the backyard neighborhood baseball or basketball games would be played. Since they had the only concrete driveway in the neighborhood with a basketball rim attached to the front of their garage, their home was always a beehive of activity. And to have a garage having both a front and back opening doors was always amazing. I remember watching their daddy pulling them on skis in the large ditch after a heavy rain or listening to their stories after they returned from a trip to their camp at Dam B. Many memories. To my surprise, I later had to spend many hours with Jonathan when he began work in the accounting department at USI/ Quantum discussing the maintenance costs within my department and of course chatting about old times. God bless the entire Wolfe Family in this time of sorrow.

Ruthie, I was shocked to learn of Jonathan's death; Harry told me about it today (Christmas day). I know this is hard on you and your boys, especially at this time of year. Life is a gift; every day is a gift that we should live to the fullest; we never know when our number will be called. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your boys, Sincerely, Dr. Cynthia Barnes Your former professor

Please accept our condolences during your time of grief. I respected Jonathan as a stand up guy who supported the LIT Regional Fire Academy. He could be so funny with certain facial expressions and quips, yet be serious about fiscal matters. I had the pleasure of knowing Jonathan for 14 years and will miss him until we meet again.

So sorry to hear of Jonathan's sudden passing. I had the privilege of working whith him in the early 2000s when I was with Lamar-Orange. Jonathan was always helpful, pleasant, funny, and a gentleman. Reading these memorial comments made me smile because the did really did reflect the kind of person Jonathon was.

Ruthie I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet husband Jonathan. Although I did not know him, he must have been an extremely loveable man from the comments on this guest book. Rest assured that God will get you and your boys through this hard time right now, but just think....Jonathan is in heaven now with NO WORRIES anymore. You are a special woman that is loved by SOO SOO many people. You will be in my prayers.... Love you~

Ruthie, boys and family. I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Jonathan was one of the best men I've had the privilege of knowing. He taught us how to communicate with short series of grunts and grumbles, we always knew he cared about each of us and would always stand for us. He made us laugh, gave us something to joke about and treated us better than any boss I've ever had! He will be so greatly missed and our hallway will never be the same. We will miss him more than we can even imagine. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
