Requiescat In Pace: Jonathan Cupp

Losing one child is an abyss of grief.  I cannot imagine losing two:

Our dear friends Kyle and Genece lost their second child, Jonathan, on September 17th at 2 A.M. He goes to join his sister Vivian who passed after her birth in 2009.

Jonathan suffered a brain injury 2 days prior, and died in the hospital in the presence of his parents, who were with him when his heart stopped. Though his death was sudden, his siblings were able to see him the night before he died.

Jonathan was a good kid —14 years old, bright and imaginative, and so full of love for his family, friends, and dog Willow.

This comes at a very hard time for the Cupp family —not only in suffering this loss of a child, but also in the struggles that come with the pandemic, unrest, and forest fires.

In an effort to relieve some of the stress in this struggle, we are hoping to raise $ towards funeral expenses, and to give our friends some time to heal and grieve without the added stress of wondering how to pay bills.

Please join us in supporting them with our love, thoughts, and prayers, and by donating what you can to relieve a bit of the suffering of these beautiful people whom we love so much.

This world is not the same without Jonathan, and we join Kyle and Genece in celebrating his life, in grieving his passing, and praying for the repose of his soul.

He was a kid who was loved, and this love goes with him as he goes to be with his sister Vivian.

Peace to you all.

May Jonathan and Vivian now be beholding the Beatific Vision.  Go here  to contribute to his burial expenses.  Kyle Cupp has commented on this blog in the past.  He and I didn’t always agree, but his comments were always intelligent and insightful.  My prayers for him and his family.
