            If you can afford to do so, I really do encourage sending an arrangement or card. I know when my parents passed away, the amazement of flowers pouring in from people I never knew they touched was very encouraging to me. I can only imagine it would be all the more greater for parents who lost a child so that they know even at such a young age, he had a lot of people who cared.

            Here is where I find sometimes what keeps me going here and elsewhere on the Net. We are from all over, we may never meet, but we are all joined together over thousands of miles and widely different cultures and beliefs.

                Jonathan was a member at DeviantART, if anyone is active there, can you please let the appropriate leadership there know. They might want to organize something. I do not know if he was a member of any other communities. If someone could perhaps do a google search for his username. I know when Bandecoot left us, he was a member of many communities, and they were grateful they were notified.

                  Also we typically send a copy of the memorial thread to the family, so please post here freely to talk about Jonathan. It will be treasured by his family.

                    How truly truly awful. How very tragic !

                    Is it OK to ask where on TWeb he was last active ? I recall his user name, certainly, but I am fuzzy on what "he's like." Maybe it would be best not to disclose that. I'll look that up for myself.

                    Gosh, how pitifully sad. ...Really a rotten deal there for him and his loved ones and friends.



                    In my opinion, the single most telling piece of evidence that shows how poorly we're manifesting our call to care for animals is the recent creation of factory farms. Over the last century we have, to a large degree, reduced farm animals to commercialized commodities whose only value is found in how efficiently we can produce and slaughter them for profit. Consequently, more than 26 billion animals each year are forced to live in miserable, overcrowded warehouses, where there is absolutely nothing natural about their existence and where they are subjected to barbaric, painful, industrial procedures.
                    This is a far cry from what God meant when he told us to exercise "dominion." (Pastor Greg Boyd.)

                      His last post was a birthday wish for Nick. He was sick for a little bit so he wasn't very active for a while. He was much more active last year. He was, however, in a lot of IM conversations with friends from here.

                      BTW, this is the stand spray arrangement that was purchased to be sent on behalf of the community.

                          Do not feel bad. Prayer for his family will be an eternal gift rather than flowers which fade. Some people will be able to do different things. I was just relating my own experiences with loss on how the flowers from strangers (to me) were comforting that my parents had so many friends. And the flowers cheered me when I brought them home and filled my house with a beautiful sweet scent during the following weeks.

                              I'm very sorry to hear that. My condolences to the family. Although we didn't interact all that regularly, I know him to have been a valuable member of our online group. We may be online and not talking directly, but this doesn't lessen the strength and significance of our community. The sad loss of Jonathan is a deep blow to us all.
