Jonathan Thomas Connolly

Jonathan Connolly 8/6/1985-8/3/2019 It is with great sorrow that we lay Jonathan Connolly to rest. Jonathan meant the world to us. He was our son, father, brother, husband, nephew, cousin and friend. Jonathan struggled for many years with addiction and depression. He had achieved peace with his addiction for many years at a stretch, but when his soul was in pain, the disease took over. We know many who struggle. It was Jonathan’s hope that he could bring awareness, guidance, and comfort to others struggling, and he always found a way to do that no matter his own battles. It was Jonathan’s mission to make everyone around him laugh, and he always found the humor in every situation. He was a business partner and good friend to his father, Tom. He was his brother, James’s beloved companion. He was a “brother” to Kyle Regan. He was his mother Jackie’s best friend. He was devoted to his son Liam, and loved his Eliannah. He was adored and spoiled by his many aunts and uncles, and fellow “conspirator” with his many cousins. We will, each, and every one of us, miss Jonathan in our own way, as he was special to all of us in his own way. The world is a lesser place without the bright light of Jonathan Connolly.
