“Jonathan was a funny, kind and intelligent boy who loved his family and friends with all his heart. “An active member of the Army cadets, participating in cadet camps and supporting the other cadets by teaching first aid. “He had plans to train to work for the Disasters Emergency Committee so he could make a career out of helping others in their time of need.
“A budding chef from an early age and an animal lover who especially loved his cats, with the biggest of hearts. “Above all else he had a beautiful and caring soul and will be missed by all his family and friends more than words can express. Rest in peace our sweet boy.”
