Jonah Rothe

Jonah Andrew Rothe born March 27, 2001 was called home to be with our Christ & Savior on November, 17, 2014. Jonah was a young man full of life, curiosity and love. He always had a smile on his face and a song in his heart. He brought joy to the lives of everyone who knew him. Jonah came to know the Lord as his personal Savior in 2012 and expressed a desire to serve God by becoming a missionary. He loved to hunt with his father and brothers, attending youth camp & church, spending time with his friends and family, playing his guitar and drawing. But most of all he LOVED to snuggle with his daddy, as we all knew Jonah was a Daddies Boy! Jonah will always be remembered best for his smile and friendliness. His heart was tender and loving! Most importantly, Jonah was a child of God who desired to serve God with all his heart. He would have wanted his life to be a testimony of God's saving Grace & Mercy; I Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Jonah was a homeschool student through Faith Christian School. Before homeschooling, Jonah attended Mountain View Baptist School where he played basketball for the Mountain View Eagles.
