this is so terribly sad. Thanks @Bryanpwo for sharing this info.
I did not know this guy, but i definitely noticed what a great person he was. What a great contributor to Arch and Open Source. What an enormous knowledge he had. How helpful he was not only on this forum.
It is really a big loss and he leaves a great void.
This is indeed shocking news and my heart goes out to his family and friends. Like so many here, I didnāt really know him, but know his contributions to this and other communities. A bright star, indeed, and perhaps thereās somehow the community might commemorate his memory.
Perhaps it would be nice for Jonathon family to know how much we all love and respected him. I met Jonathon when he was part of Manjaro. In fact I thought he was a manager or some kind of consultant because he always came across so professional and friendly. I often made a point to read his posts (actual test and drive him crazy with questions). Sometimes he just felt like that friend you wanted to share adventures\misadventures with. I still smile that every so often when I would talk about a Manjaro issue here ⦠he would remind me ābut why wait for a fix when you can have it nowā. Which started me finally transitioning back to Antegos\Endeavour.
Jono I will surely miss you. A great example of a man of quality and integrity. Your work was truly a shining example to us all.
This is really sad news. Jonathon helped me a couple of times. Always friendly and unpretentious. We should never forget the impact Jonathon made on all the Arch communities around the world.
To this day, his āComputer doesnāt bootā FAQ on the Garuda Linux forum remains one of the most frequently linked documents on the whole site. Countless folks who did not even know him have been touched by his extensive knowledge and his unrelenting helpfulness, in this and many other forums, and with the hundreds of packages he maintained, repos he cared for, and projects he contributed to. He was a friend and mentor to many. The community has truly lost a pillar.
