I have so many wonderful memories of Jonas. I first met him 16 years ago while working as a wedding planning assistant, and he was the kindest chef I had ever encountered. He went out of his way to make sure every member of the event staff was fed, and I still remember him striking up a conversation with me that day.
He made a lasting impression on me, and when I started my planning business a year later, I continued working with him. It didn’t take long for him to become my go-to chef not only because his food was incredible, but because he genuinely cared about my clients and took such thoughtful care of everyone on the team.
I miss catching up with him in the prep tent after dinner service and hearing his boisterous laugh. Jonas, you are deeply missed, my friend.
Jonas was always a great guy with a big heart. I remember going on a trip to California where I went to my first hockey game and Lakers game in person. We met up with some friends of mine who lived in the area and we all had so much fun just living life. Thats just one moment in a sea of others where Jonas would take us out and make sure everyone was enjoying themselves and making memories that will last forever.
I will never forget Jonas’s laugh, it made me smile. He took Lolita, my daughter and I to a musical last year. We listened to the soundtrack on the way there and he danced in the driver seat while we danced in the backseat. I will never forget that playful and joyful side of him.
He was my boss, business mentor and friend. His time spent teaching and motivating me was priceless. I am forever grateful for kindness and generosity. His presence and energy will never be forgotten!

Chef Jonas has always been such a light to be around and work with. Despite his many years of experience and my very little years of experience in comparison, he was always a supporter and uplifted everyone around him as much as he could. Genuinely the most kind-hearted and easy going person I've ever had the joy of meeting and becoming friends with. Rest in love, Chef J.
