Remember when you quit smoking but couldn't tell your mom so you wouldn't hurt her feelings? Your freezer was filled with Dorals! 😂

Jonathon's blog was one of my favourites to read when I stumbled across it way back around 2007 or so. I always had a fun time joining in with the comments and he gave me great writing tips on my own blog—that meant a lot to me, who at the time was just some random teenager in northwest England trying to hone his writing style. Now I've just turned 30 and recently secured funding to direct a horror film I wrote. I'm sure Jonathon would get a little kick out of that, and also out of knowing his writing influenced someone as far away as here. RIP mate. I hope Maggie went on to be looked after and pampered.

I miss you. Probably like a parent would miss a deceased child. My life is troubled. I fear being alone. I hope Maggie is with you. The homeless guy who's name was not Kevin Barbieux evidently, got a real life. Has it really been 2 life times? Liz and Sadie, and others. You and Rosa. You and Kim. The dog called Caramel. Tracy. Reality. I miss you!

It's been 3 years and you're blog has finally gone silent. Don't you ever think we didn't love you or feel your pain 💔! So much is happening in gaming/computers/technology. At least, you can personalize ringtones. Then you'd know it was "Tut" and just not pick up. Grocery Pickup/delivery. Never having to leave home! Miss you boy.

I immediately thought of you. For FIVE generations of Olsen family, someone in the family gets hit by BALL LIGHTENING! INDOORS! It finds them through windows. 5 generations. I just know you're saying wow and looking up debts. We all miss you. Glittermom still posts to your blog. Blogs are gone now. At least blogs like yours.

"My blogging buddy, Andrew" is how I refer to you now (2022) and I DO refer to you often. You missed the Covid! You missed a fabulous ice storm. I used to go to your blog for this but it's better one on one. Love you always.

I miss him. Remember his manic summer? Walmart job, side mowing jobs, new gf and a new puppy? Remember his tales of days gone by? The AA year. I am beyond sad!

Dear Family, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one, Jonathon. My sincere condolences to you. May you think of the many beautiful memories that you shared with him, and cherish those precious moments. May the God of all comfort caress your heart with his loving promise to one day reunite you together again, in the future paradise mentioned at Revelation 21:4,5. Our Dear Heavenly Father Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) knows the many tears you cry, and He will sustain you, if you let him. I hope that you can find comfort during this difficult time. If you would like to learn more from the bible about why we die or why does our loving Heavenly Father allow so much suffering and injustice, please feel free to go to jw.org to find satisfying answers.

I knew Jonathon (Andrew) from his blog that I have read for about 15 years. One of his readers said that his blog was like getting a letter from home. I will miss him so very much. Mr. Minter I am so sorry for your loss. I feel like I know you and your family and grieve along with you. Please tell The Biscuit Fairy that I am thinking about him too. Give Maggie a hug from me.
