Jonathan Charles May, 50, of Bergton, VA passed away at his home on Monday, January 10, 2022.  He had been in failing health for several years.

Jonathan was born December 4, 1971 at Harrisonburg, VA to Charles R. and Carolyn S.

Jonathan was a member of Garrett's Chapel United Methodist Church of Mathias, WV.  He was a 1989 graduate of Broadway High School.  While he was able to work, he was very proud of his job at Friendship Industries.  The family would like to thank his past employers at Friendship for giving him a chance to be productive.

Jonathan loved God, his family and friends, playing video games, listening to music, working word puzzles and putting together jigsaw puzzles at which he was very good.  He loved to go fishing when he was still active.

The family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses who cared for Jonathan, with special thanks to Dr. Roussel and Dr. Rogel.  Thanks also to the kind folks at Kingsley Medical Transport, Albert Strawderman, and the staff at Davita Dialysis for making Jonathan's life a little easier for the past 5 months.
