I'm so very sorry to hear Jonathan passed away, he was always so full of life and such a kind person. RIP Jonathan 🙏

I knew John for several years and those were the most enjoyable years of my life. We always had something fun to do. And I will never forget when his his best friend Shawn Sweet told me "John has a heart this big" (extending his arms). It was so true!

Suzie, Im so very sorry for the loss of Johnny. I know the two of you were very kind to my brother Jody. I know Johnny was a very good friend to him. No judgements, respect, and friendship. That means everything to me. If there really is an afterlife, im thrilled to tears to know that Jody will be with his good friend again!!! My deepest condolences to the entire Family. - Deb Batchelder

John, what can I say but that he was a light unto this world, full of joy, laughter, quick to support a friend, a fierce friend. John, my brother, I wish I would have tried to contact you or come visit, it's been ten years or maybe more, but it was time for you to ramble on. I sincerely pray that someone presented you the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that you had believed on him. It's not to be known in this life, where we are all sinners, but hope to see you in eternity. Peace and rest, my brother. Steve Z.

Like a shining star, Jon would light up the room with that irresistible smile, infectious laugh, and handsome face! His Christmas call each year to us in SC was always so upbeat, charming, thoughtful and so greatly appreciated. A treasure among treasures, the universe has lost a sweetheart who will be forever etched in time and remembered for all eternity. Love You! Uncle Danny & Aunt Bambi

So sad to hear of John's passing! I was lucky enough to work with John for the past two years and he made everyday fun and lots of laughs. I will miss seeing you there everyday, place won't be same. Rest in peace my friend

Sorry for your loss thinking of your family at this time. John was always so very nice and friendly towards me.

Rest in Peace cousin Dianne, now with your beloved Johnathan. Bless Bill, Bill, Jr. and all the family. Dick Brown

My sincere condolences to the Dowling Family, Suzie, Barbara and his beautiful daughter Betsy Mae. I've known John since jr. high school, and we spent 3 summers riding dirt bikes around silver lake resevoir, riding pedal bikes, hiking, and plenty of bon fire parties behind Silver Lake Jr. High as well as the mansion house here in Pembroke. Our parents would say just come back by dinner time! As we grew older, we drifted apart but always remained friends and when I did see John out and about it was like old times! This is an absolute devastating loss. Only the good die young - rest in peace my friend.

john, RIP. I was sad to hear of your passing. You and my sister Patty were good friends. Sadly she just past on Tuesday, i'm sure you'll bump into one another. Gods speed.

John so heartbreaking to hear of your passing. Just rough! Fond memories of the crew- driving around with the windows down on a cold New England night searching for deers, to seeing Steve Miller band, and you being the best man in my ex and I wedding. Some many memories, my friend. Until then rest easy! May you soar with the angels above!

I am deeply sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a great guy. I hope the love, laughter and beautiful memories he brought into your life help you through this difficult time. My deepest sympathy to you Susie and all of the Dowling family

Gone too soon, I am going to miss you Jonathan. I remember babysitting you and your brother Bill as a children, then you grew into a beautiful, kind, sweet caring man. Always looking out for others. I just don't understand Gods timing but he must have a purpose. You are loved and missed and always in our hearts. Rest in sweetest peace.

My sincere condolences to the Dowling family,, to Betsy and my dear sister, Susie. How does one get over the shock of losing a loved one? I don't know. I do know, that being surrounded by family and friends who love you, sharing sweet memories, belly laughs at the good times and rivers of tears may help ease the pain in your hearts.. I will always be here for you . Rest Peacefully Johnny, you will be missed.

Such a great person. Always had a smile and a glow about him that put others around him happy. RIP, HEAVEN GOT A GREAT NEW ANGEL

How do you sum up close to 30 years of friendship in just a few words? It's impossible. John, you were my friend through thick and thin and everything in between. I'll never forget all of those nights in Hanson, Pembroke, Whitman and all points in between. Larry's Laundromat? Yeah, we won't go there. 🙂 The barrel incident on the 4th of July? Not going there either. But get this much straight. I'll miss you for the rest of my life. I love you brother and I'll see you on the other side. Love ya, Frank

As I reflect on your passing my sweet Johnny, I am so sadden it was cut short for us. We really piled a lot of laughs, a lot of love and a lot of living in the past 10 years. You will forever be etched in my heart. Sweet dreams, honey. I love you, Susie
