In Loving Memory of Johnatan Bastos
Johnatan, beloved father, son, and friend, passed away leaving behind five children—Tiffany, Jessica, Rachel, Kimberly, and Nicholas—who will always carry his love in their hearts.
At just 17, Johnatan came to the United States from Brazil with a dream to support his family, later bringing his parents and brothers to join him. By 21, he had built a family of his own and worked tirelessly to provide and protect them.
Johnatan was known for his big laugh, even bigger heart, and ability to turn anything into a joke. He loved passionately, lived loudly, and always aimed to make those around him smile. A crowd favorite and a family pleaser, he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
May his memory live on through the laughter, love, and strength he gave to so many.
“We built a family with a lot of love, despite the challenges along the way. Together, we were blessed to bring into the world the greatest gift of our lives: Nicholas. Today I say goodbye with gratitude for the good times, with a lot of respect and love. May he rest in peace.” - Tamila Bastos
“You’re so beautiful, my princess, my love, babe’ all nicknames that will forever remind me of my dad and the love he had not only for me, but my siblings as well. Even though he is not physically here with us, his DNA is within us. Every cell in our body is a product of his and with that we find peace knowing our Daddy is forever a part of us. We will make it our mission to fulfill his legacy and carry on his lineage. Everyday we will multiply his love and honor him in everything we do. I love you and miss you daddy, rest in the arms of the Lord because there is no better place to be.” - Tiffany Bastos
“My dad has always been my best friend, and he forever will be. He always supported me and understood me when I felt like no one else did. He never failed to show me he loved me, even when times were difficult. I will continue to make him proud and include him in everything I do and every decision I make. I know he’s now resting in the best place possible, with our Lord, at peace. One day we will meet again, in eternity, and until then I will make him proud in everything I do. I love you so much and will miss you always & forever.” - Jessica Bastos
“I had the honor in watching Johnatan grow as father, as a husband and as a son. He gave me four of my granddaughters and for that I am eternally grateful for his life. He was an amazing, loyal man. He is now resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” - Lina Silva
“My brother-in-law loved his family , loved my sister and his daughters, he was so loyal, caring, loving, and patient with all of them. I was 13 when I met him 2004 and so grateful to have known him.” - Kathleen Garcia
