Live Long And Prosper.

It is with a painful sadness that I must inform you that we have lost our friend Jonathan at the beginning of the month to a fatal accident. Jonathan was much beloved by everyone who had the honor of working with him here at Pond5, as well as his diverse and numerous community of friends and family. I can without exaggeration say that he loved working with you all and doing what he did, and his absence will be felt for a long time.

We will all miss him greatly, but will try to move forward with his influence at heart. Wisdom, Power, and Courage.

Jonathan pretty much single handedly moderated these forums and kept you folks informed, and it will be hard to live up to the great job he did, but we'll try. The forum moderation will be in good hands with his teammates - we're here for you.

Sincerely,
Lawrence
Pond5 Senior Gladiator

I am so very sorry for the loss.
My wife and I give our condolences and prayers to his family and friends.

Wow - so sorry to hear this. I have exchanged many E-mails with him and there is one from 14 January in my messages.

RIP J-Man

Man, that makes me sad. He was so cool, and answered everything. I remember he came on the forum talking about a video game he was interested in seeing if any artist wanted to join him. He was always so friendly.

Dear Pond5, such very sad shocking news. He was always very friendly and encouraging. R.I.P Jonathan. You will be missed greatly. Michael

So sorry for his family and friends. Although I had not met him personally we had many conversations about footage, the forums and P5. He was a great guy and will be missed. It will be hard to fill his shoes, he was open and informative on the forum. Condolences to his family and friends.

OMG, I'm so sorry to hear this. He was amazing and had a lot of patience. It will be hard to replace him and he will be very much missed.

I'm very sorry to read this news. My best wishes go to Jonathan's family, friends and colleagues.

Paul.

Wow. What a shock! Condolences to any family and friends. We had many conversations over the last few years both by email and by phone. He will be missed.
