“A quiet, modest fella, Jonathan would’ve been busy behind the scenes making sure all was set up ok for the traditional night and other events run by the Hub. He always had time for people and would often call in even on his days off to see how things were going.

“We would like to take this opportunity to extend our condolences and sympathy to Jonathan’s family, friends and those closest to him - you are all in our thoughts and prayers. You’ll be missed Jonathan, with love, from all at the Hub x”
