He was a Welding Inspector and also inspected other fields that required inspection. Jonathan enjoyed working with his hands, he had the MacGyver ability and ingenuity to create and fix just about anything. He was a perfectionist with all he did. Jonathan loved his family dearly, especially his grandchildren and his mini me Braelynn. She was truly a “Daddy’s Girl”.
