Jonathan was
a great storyteller, well read, with a larger-than-life, outgoing extrovert personality.
He was humorous, serious and knowledgeable about numerous life events. He had a
number of sayings such as “well, my daddy would say…. .” His daddy was an
attorney who practiced in a small Georgia town. Jonathan and his brothers were
athletes and excelled in playing basketball. Jonathan played college
basketball; attended law school in California; and was a defense attorney in
San Diego. Jonathan, I miss your friendship.
In addition to being my friend, my running
compadre, Jonathan was also my 100 mile Swanton Pacific Ride and Tie partner in
2008 with my equine Gypsy. In that event, we were in the lead, arriving at the
vet check at the Butano Airstrip at the 50 mile marker. At about 85 miles, we
passed Steve Anderson who was helping out by running a mini aid station. It was
pitch dark and the thick ocean fog rolled in. At one point Jonathan said he
needed to go to the bathroom so I continued ahead with Gypsy.
