Over the past weekend, I was talking to @HEHEHATE, discussing an upcoming trade we’re working on. During our chats, HEHEHATE mentioned checking out jdwooley14’s bio page. I won’t repost what Jonathan’s brother wrote in his bio, but encourage you to check out @jdwooley14’s page to read it for yourself.

Jonathan had been battling health complications for a while, and unfortunately passed away in March of this year. I really hate to share this sad news, but since Jonathan had been a part of our community for the past 12 years I thought he deserved this, at the very least. I figured we can use this topic to share our thoughts and memories of him. I will follow up in the topic with my own thoughts, but for now, I just wish his family my condolences.

He was a very nice man. That's a shame. Far too young.

He was a good dude. I know he was trying to get his health in order and I’m sorry he didn’t have the time to do it. This sucks.

@frank thanks for posting this as i was really taken aback by it myself. While i wasn't as close with jd as a lot of you guys were i did have the pleasure of drawing him in secret santa and had a blast getting his wants out to him. So yea to me there is a sort of semblance of being personable in this one here. I think the idea of it actually happening how it was described and transpired while going back and forth with frank on this one on his timeline vs mine just put everything to perspective.

I thought a post to everyone at the very least was common practice considering contributions towards community. Myself i'd like to take this further if anyone was interested if we can get in contact with his brother. These times are especially tough on all family members involved with the loss of a loved one. A moderator on the site can handle collected funds. and we ship out what the community would like to give back here. As busy as i am at times I'd still like to make an effort to reach out. and do my own attempt at locating this Justin Brother of his. To give some closure on this to everyone that knew of or dealt with jonathan directly/indirectly.

Damn that sucks.

Never had much interaction with him but he was cordial anytime I did. He was part of the GTZ Movie Club I started here a while back. I remember seeing his posts all the time.

RIP JD, sending good vibes to his friends and family

Read the post... that is heartbreaking. I know he'd been sick for a long time. He was always a good dude to talk to. RIP JD...

Very very sad! He was a good guy. The older I get...the more mad I get when people die young like that.

RIP Jonathan. We traded a couple of times including once last year. He was a nice guy. I’m sad to hear this and wish the best for his family.

Since I've started hosting the annual Secret Santa exchanges, Jonathan was always one of the first to sign up, including both of last Holiday's exchanges. I'd wager he'd have been down this year too. He always had the holiday spirit, even when we were faking during the summertime.

My last trade with him was for his Pokemon Puzzle League cartridge, last year. I'm going to have to dig it out sometime soon and play it in his honor! I actually think I still have all of the games and movies I've bought and traded from him.

In February, I had made a post asking to trade for Subtime. Jonathan was generous and DM'd me over some with the message "i checked the list of games and didnt much id want, but i still wanted to help ya out a bit, so heres a few weeks." I thanked him for his kindness and we discussed subtime trades a little bit. This was the last conversation I had with him. He passed away a week and a half later. frown

RIP Jonathan. You were a good dude. It sucks you were taken so soon. Hopefully, they have anime wherever you are. You will be missed!
