Jonathan grew up and spent most of his life in Keyport, NJ, where he was an employee of the Borough of Keyport, before moving to Willingboro, NJ.
He loved fishing, training horses, lottery tickets, and spending time with his family. He also loved sharing stories, which often had many laughing and wondering if the story was a tale or truth, but you could count on it making you laugh or “crack” a smile.

He had a generous heart, always willing to give to family and friends.
He is predeceased by his sisters, Barbara Johnson, and Lucille Royster, and brother Vincent Taylor.
