Jonas Marcelle Joven's Obituary
Celebrating the Life of Jonas Marcelle Joven
January 31st, 1976 – August 16th, 2025
We celebrate the beautiful life of Jonas Marcelle Joven, a man whose bright smile and steady purpose lifted every room he entered. Born in Manila, Philippines, Jonas grew into a kind, responsible, hardworking, determined, and intelligent person who inspired those around him every single day.
Jonas boldly followed his dream when he became the Owner and Head Chef of Island Fusion Catering. Friends and clients remember how his leadership and tireless energy turned fresh ingredients into joyful gatherings, proving that good food and good company truly belong together.
Family meant everything to Jonas. He was a devoted son to Lolita Joven, a supportive brother to Joseph (Cara) Joven and Jennifer Joven, and a source of laughter and guidance for countless aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who felt like family.
Jonas left us in Honolulu, Hawaii, but his upbeat spirit stays with everyone he touched during his 49 remarkable years. As we gather to share stories, we choose gratitude for the meals, moments, and memories he gave so freely.
Let us honor Jonas by carrying his kindness and determination into our own lives. In doing so, we keep his vibrant legacy cooking in our hearts each and every day.
Celebration of life to be held on Thursday, January 29, 2026 from 10am-2pm at Valley of the Temples Mortuary Makai Chapel.
