The Opelika native worked at Skydive Alabama in Cullman County and had made thousands of jumps at jump zones in Alabama, Utah, and Florida.
“He was a deeply principled young man, with a keen sense of right and wrong, a devotion to those he loved, and a stubbornness that was both admirable and at times, maddening,” his obituary read.
“Tough on the outside and fearless in the extreme, Jonny was a kind, tenderhearted soul who was moved easily to tears.”
