In Loving Memory

Jonathan David Persons

April 30, 1965 - May 1, 2026

Radio was a caring person who dedicated his life to protecting others through work in security and by always looking out for friends and family. Known for a big heart, a strong sense of humor, and the joy brought to those around him, Radio touched many lives. On May 1, 2026, Radio lost a battle with cancer, leaving loved ones heartbroken and searching for answers.

After his passing, friends were faced with the overwhelming task of locating his body after it had been sent away with little information provided. Through determination and love, they were able to find him and ensure he was taken to Beltway Cremation Center before the state took possession. This difficult process, combined with the recent loss of another close friend, has left many grieving while trying to manage the sudden financial burden.

Funds are being raised to help cover the costs associated with recovering Radio’s body, cremation services, and related expenses. Support is also being sought to help the family hold a memorial service at a later date so that everyone who loved Radio can come together to remember and celebrate his life.

Any support during this difficult time is deeply appreciated. Every contribution will help Radio’s friends and family honor his memory and find some peace after such a painful loss. A fundraiser for services and memorial expenses has been organized by Patricia Rivas. To donate, visit https://gofund.me/dd595aade.
