In Loving Memory
Jonathan BrandtPalm Beach Gardens, Florida Parents: Siblings: Click here to view photo gallery |
Jonathan grew up in Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He is survived by his Wife Amanda and Sons Jordan and Jonathan, Jr., the highlights of his life. He was an extremely gifted artist with a special talent for carcatures. He was a devout FSU Fan and supporter, and he possessed an impressive knowledge of sports statistics. Jonathan's empathetic heart defined him and attracted many, as did his wry and witty sense of humor. He is dearly loved by his family and friends and will be missed by all. We take comfort in knowing that he is in the safety and peace of God's Hands.

It will be two years in a few days and yet it feels like yesterday. The pain is still there but the good memories are starting to return. There WERE many good times that have been overshadowed by the pain and grief. We keep you close in our hearts and in our minds. You were loved ! |
My heart goes out to those he left behind. Family and friends miss his light in this world. We have walked in your shoes. God bless. |
We ALL missed you this Christmas but your light continued to shine through little Jon. He brought us all so much joy. I pray that he may be free of the struggles with addiction that you went through. You're always in my heart and soul, Jonathan. I love you - Mom |
My dear boy. Went to the vigil with Mom on Thurs. night. So many sad parents. friends and family members. Help us help others. Have God show us the way. |

I didn't know Jonathan, but I live in PBG and am affected by a family member's drug abuse. I came across this web page in search of finding assistance and thought I'd light a candle for Jonathan. I'm sorry you lost him and am afraid I too may someday feel the same pain. Wish me luck. |
I just learned today of Jonathan's death and brings sadness to my heart for your family, for Amanda, his son, Jonathan, Jr. and all that new and loved him. I new Jonathan through my daughter, Blair, who, as you know, is also in heaven. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Son, Your presence is so missed by so many. We all love you and are thinking about how much you brought to our lives. Love always, Mom |
My loving thoughts are with your devoted mother and Grandmother to your beautiful son. |
Dearest Jon,
I miss you so very much. Words can not express how much you have meant to me. I grew up with you, watching and learning from you. I have always shared a bond with you and that is something that will never go away. You are like my brother and for that I will be forever grateful. I have learned so much about myself through you. My confidence grows everyday as I think about you. I am no longer afraid of what life holds for me and I have you to thank for that. I miss you and can not wait to see your face again.
love always,
Martha

Hey Big Bro. The shock is wearing off now, and I cannot stop thinking about the pain you faced in this life. I have to remind myself constantly that you are at peace in God's loving hands. I imagine there is no place that you have ever felt so secure. I just want you to know that although my heart has always been open to God, I have finally made Him my priority. I have found that He is the only One who can truly provide me with comfort in our loss. Your absence is profound, but I pray that it allows my soul to grow. I cannot pretend to know His plan, and perhaps we will never understand it, but I know you are no longer suffering. I miss you in an aching way that I cannot describe. This is still impossible to wrap my arms around...I love you, and I will see you in eternal life. |
I can't imagine that this gets any easier as time goes on, for it adds that much more distance to when I was last able to hug you, see your handsome, smiling self,and hear your voice teasing us with your silly, jovial ways. I do know, though, that your spirit is grand and is growing larger inside of me everyday. That is what can never be taken away from me. I pray that God helps me to carry on what you would like to see accomplished in your friends and family left behind. You're forever in my heart, but safe in Gods hands now. |
I love you Jonathan, you have touched my life forever and I hope you will always be near me to stengthen me, help me stop blocking myself from God and keep me moving myself and as many others as I can closer to our father, his son, and the holy spirit. |
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I LOST MY JOY AND HEART-JOSHUA HUSTON-ONE YEAR AGO AND I MISS HIM MORE AND MORE DAILY. ALWAYS REMEBER THE GOOD TIMES AND HAPPY MEMORIES AND HIS SMILE-THAT IS WHAT GETS ME THROUGH. PRAYERS....LISA |
Claire, Ernie, Cheri, David and Laura,
The love and support you hold for Jonathan is truly amazing. I know he will be greatly missed and will remain in your hearts forever. We hope that you will work with and speak out for NOPE. Perhaps this will help others with this cruel illness. Jonathan was a wonderful person that will always be remembered.
Our love to you and all your family,
Sherry and Jim Guzauskas |
Claire: I hope that you and Laura and the family are able to remember that just because Jonathan struggled with drug addiction...that does not soley define who he was as a person. He had many talents, was good to make others laugh and loved his children, family and friends. Narcotic addiction is a medical illness. I hope that all that knew Jonathan will teach their children about the danger of drugs, will get help if they need it and will remember him. If Jonathan's life touched one persons' to the point that they get off of drugs and move themselves in a positive direction---that would be something special in itself. We never know what God has planned for us? We can feel calm at least in knowing that he is finally at peace, in a place were time is not important, but souls are. I am sure Jonathan had a good soul. Thinking of you all----sue--- |
Jonathan,
The fight and the struggle is finally over and you can rest in PEACE. You were loved so much! I'm sure you know that.
Love,
Joe, Karen, Matthew, and Emily

My thoughts and prayers are will you and may God bless you and your family. |
With hope that other families will be helped by NOPE to prevent such tragedy. |
Jonathan was a truly loving person with a great sense of humor and a contagious smile. He will be missed on earth but always in our hearts. My love to the Brandt family and extended family. May you rest knowing he is no longer in pain and in God's loving arms. |
May the memory of our children, our relatives and our friends, who have passed, live on in our hearts, forever honored and memorialized. May the dreams they had and the lives they lived be remembered always, and may each heart and soul they touched, though forever changed, be healed.

I am sure Jonathan is watching over all his loved ones wishing all of you remember all of the great times and moving forward knowing he will be at peace when you are all at peace. |
