It was the saddest message I received from my cousin; Jonathon was one of my favourite jockeys and rode many winners for me! Much love to your family and I hope you can rest with a peaceful mind now. Miss you longtime
Sorry to hear about Jono. We remember taking him to the races when he was about 9. We had to put his bets on then. He was mad on horses probably got it from his Uncle Andrew. Sorry we can’t be at his service as we are away. Thinking of u all at this time
My sincere condolences to you all Don and Tiffany much love from myself and Jhavanni xx

I was so sad to hear of Jonathan's passing. I have legged him on many a horse at the races in confidence they would be given every chance and brought safely home. Such a tragic loss to his family and all of the members of the racing fraternity. He will be greatly missed by all. RIP Jonathan.
Fly safely to Melissa´s loving arms. God speed.

Condolences to family facing this difficult time! Jonathan was a very good friend of mine who I always caught up with at Ōtaki racing club where I work! We really miss him and the great times we shared but he is spiritually with us and watching over us as the butterfly I see him as on the horse!
