Update: thank you to everyone who donated. The gofundme is over and my mom and I really appreciate his coworker setting up this gofundme on behalf of our small family. I had a small facebook live video for a vigil that I won't be posting at this time because I don't want to add more videos to his youtube channel. I'm not going to delete his google account to preserve the posterity of all the work he did. I know we couldn't have a grand funeral for my amazing brother because of all the restrictions in the world right now but his mom requested that I save this money and bury them together in the future. This is her final wish and I'm sure my brother would want nothing more than to be with his family/mom in death and peace together. Thank you everyone for your amazing comments and great memories you share in the comments. I'm so glad that my brother touched so many people's lives, even if it was just through funny videos of a creator you all enjoyed together. I hope that you all continue to try to stay safe and remember to value those you love because we really don't know how much time we have left with those around us and when it is gone, you can never get it back. So spend as much time as you can with those you love to lessen the amount of regrets you may have. Thank you so much and I'm so sorry that we couldn't have a grand funeral for my brother... Our mother is getting pretty old and he would want me to do everything I can to protect her and care for her and that is what I plan to do with all of the donations and loving comments. Our mom cried so much when I told her that so many people wrote so many kind things about my big brother. I seriously appreciate and thank everyone so much in these really awful times and wish everyone the best and tell people you care about that you love them.

Jonathan fought really hard until the end. He died April 22,2020 at 0930AM at the St Lukes Hospital Anderson Campus. He was ventilated for almost 25 days with minimal improvement. His mom and I are absolutely shattered by what happened and we hope that all patients with COVID-19 make it out alive and that everyone stays safe.
