Jonathan Tays
1988-2019
It is with breaking hearts, that we the family announce the
passing of Jonathan Paul William Tays on Sept
6th, 2019. Jonathan was born in Saint
John New Brunswick on Feb 12th, 1988.
Jonathan loved his Dog Storm, his friends and
family. He spent many of evening watching Charmed and
Roswell with his mom and sister. He would bring home new
music to have them listen to, they were always “impressed”
and it would end up in a dance competition. If you
couldn’t dance to it, it wasn’t good music.
Only Krissy could make him giggle with a touchless
tickle. He did on occasion pull out the Elvis lips when he
was not smiling.
Jonathan loved Football, specifically the jets and not the
patriots!
He played football for the Hampton huskies and that created a
life long love of the sport, he spent every Sunday yelling at the TV
and sometimes fighting with his cousins about the
game….
He loved adventures and hiking with his dog, Music festivals,
tattoos and outdoor activities. One year he went to ministers
island in minus 26 degree temperatures just for the
Hike
He loved Magic cards, devils sticks (he was always
ready to put on a show for his nieces, nephews and cousins), juggling
and swimming,
Jonathan was an amazing swimmer, one summer he saved his
little cousin from drowning at the Damascus.
Jonathan showed everyone all of his “women catching
dance moves” at least that is what he told his young
impressionable cousins.
He also, spent time working in Fort McMurray only to return
home to his family and friends where his heart truly longed to
be
Every picture he had a smile on his face that Sweet Baby
Face. (the main reason why he grew a beard)
He loved his friends, Phone calls and time spent on facetime.
He never had to be in the same place to make connections with his
friends.
Jonathan would often say “Thanks Sis for always being
there for me”.
Jonathan was never one to walk away from his family without
an I love you, a hug and a smile.
Jonathon is survived by his beloved dog Storm, his Mother Kim
Tays (Bruce Cameron), his sister Kristy-Ann and his niece and nephew
Emily and William Long; stepsisters Jen Burley (Scott), Melissa
Cameron (Thomas ), Katlyn Cameron (Chris). Loving Uncles
