Almost five years, my friend, and people still keep finding out. “May God come between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.”
Dear Jonathan,
My heart sank and I cried when I found out the tragic news! I’m so deeply saddened to think that you were in such a dark place that you believed in your hear the only solution was to leave this world. Never forget that you were and are loved, by your family friends and by all you many fans.
I hope wherever you are that your pain is forever gone and that you are now free and fulfilled by peace! You will never be forgotten and your memory will stay alive in all our hearts!

It’s hard to believe he’s gone but it’s easy to remember him. Always. So talented, I wish he could have seen that in himself.

Jonathan, I will never forget you. I think your death is one of the saddest. I wish there had been something someone could have done but there is nothing really someone can do when one decides to take their own lives. Your light shines on for eternity. May you feel all the love sent your way by all who admired you and cared. You are Never Forgotten.
i can’t believe he’s gone. I had such a crush on him . he was a great actor and he will be missed
*****laffs*****
In the Arts Entertainment business, can be a cut throat business, they make you, and can break you. It’s such a same how some great talent end up.
I seen Jonathan’s work from “IT” to “Ladybugs” and other guest appearances was good performances in all. RIP Jonathan, you will be missed. It sad that he had no other family (brothers or sisters) or have kids (not that anyone knows?) the only way to remember him is to re-lived the motion pictures that he had worked in

you missed…ı wish you were still here!
I just didn’t know what to think… It came as such a total surprise that the feeling was overhelming and I shed some tears to my astonishment. I couldn’t even think about more than two appearances of his that I can recall, but … Maybe it’s the way he loooked like make you feel that it wasn’t the way it was supposed to be; his boyish, childish passion, the immaculate sight, so innocent and honest the way I remembered him from the SeaQuest series. Just to think about the ultimate darkness and seclusion that he must have found himself in before he attempted the final suicadal trial …
I´m so sorry ´couse his death! But he was a very good actor. I liked him specialy in SeaQest, when he speak and played with Darwin, or concepted the Comuter, that Darwin can speak on Board the SeaQest. He realy was a specialist! May Good take him wiht him in Heaven and forgive him the suicid.
This guy has more signatures than Mr. Rogers and Marilyn Monroe. Shows America today *sigh*
5 years later, it still hurts. Be at peace, J.
I didn’t know jb was already dead. I like her since i watch him in the movie “sidekick” in 1995. I was very shocked.
i love you JONATHAN…

I still don’t belive it. And I don’t think he is death. Well at least for me he will always be alive.
