He explained, “Sometimes you’re mad. Sometimes you’re sad. Other times you’re so dissociated you don’t even feel like you’re there.”

The community has rallied around Jonathan, raising over $45,000 through a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses.

“This is really the last thing I get to do for them,” Jonathan said, moved by the outpouring of support from people he didn’t even know.

As the community mourns, Jonathan has chosen to use the tragedy to raise awareness about mental health, urging parents to seek help when needed.

“If you are a parent and you have kids, and you need help, then get it,” he pleaded in an interview, hoping to prevent similar losses in the future.
