We love and miss you sweet Jonas

Jonas Mathie Coleman 12/2/07 ~ 11/18/10 Our dear sweet little boy, Jonas, was welcomed home into the loving arms of our Savior on Nov. 18, 2010. For almost three years Jonas quietly but bravely endured the progression of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I. Jonas was born Dec. 2, 2007, to loving parents Whit and Lindsey. Jonas had the most expressive, blue eyes that could speak more eloquently than any words ever could. Jonas was a happy, peaceful and calm little boy who enjoyed the simple things in life. Family vacations to Disneyland and St. George were some of his favorite times. He had a deep love of music that would always make him smile. His other loves included being read to, lights, stars, swimming, watching Disney movies and exploring outside. With the odds against him, Jonas held on to see his baby sister Maggie born and loved when she snuggled up to his side. Jonas had the greatest gift of inspiring and influencing everyone he met. He changed lives forever. Jonas taught us more in his short life than we could ever have taught him in ten life times. Jonas is survived by his parents Whit and Lindsey and sister Maggie, grandparents Mark and Becky Mathie, Mike and Merri Coleman, and great grandpa Frank Coleman, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins. The family would like to express gratitude to Dr. Kathryn Swoboda and the Pediatric Motor Disorders Research Group, Dr. Paul Ferreira and staff at Holladay Clinic, IHC home health, Peterson Medical (Orem) and Make-A-Wish for granting Jonas' wish to visit Disneyland one last time. It was his happy place. A celebration of Jonas' life will begin at 12 Noon on Tuesday, Nov. 23 at the Wilford Stake Center, 3080 S Kenwood St (1765 E). There will be a viewing held at Larkin Sunset Lawn, 2350 E 1300 S, on Monday evening from 6 - 8 p.m. as well as Tuesday morning at the ward from 10:30 -11:45 a.m. Jonas was a true blessing and we miss him already. We love you little buddy OFF TO NEVERLAND

Pegasus take 2nd place......

Ashlee came over and swam with the girls. They had fun being silly.

Brandon and Mckenzie were able to shoot some hoops.

Brandon got to celebrate his birthday "again" in St George.

Megan and Grandpa Kortz busted a move in the parking lot after some of the games.

Hot lips!!

The championship game ended at 12:30 am.

We went to St George this last weekend. Megan had a tournament. Brandon got to celebrate his birthday in St George again. We always have a tournament his birthday weekend. The weather was nice. We got to swim, lay out in the sun, shoot some hoops and had lots of fun. Grandpa Kortz flew down and got to see some games. His friend Janet lives in St George and watched all the games, even after Grandpa left. Grandpa and Grandma Coleman came down too. Whit, Lindsey, and the kids stayed the night with us, and were able to see a game, they were on their way to Disneyland. Lucky Dogs!! Traci bought the all the girls wax lips. They had so much fun with those silly things. Yes you read right the game ended at 12:30 am Sunday morning. We are in Utah and they don't play on Sundays. The team they played, we would of had to beat 2 times (they were undefeated). Which means we would of been there for another game had Megans team won. We were all satisfied with 2nd. Megans team was for sure a better team and should of taken first, but had 2 games where they just gave it away. Oh well it happens. We still had a great time. We get to head back down there again Thursday for Mckenzies games.
