Jonathan Ervine

Jonathan Roy Ervine, affectionately known simply as Jon, was welcomed into this world on September 4, 1955 in Bridgeport, CT, USA. His journey on earth came to a close on September 18, 2023. Known for his creative mind, talented hands, and witty humor, Jonathan spent his 68 years enriching the lives of those around him. It was often said of him, "In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength," a quote from the Book of Isaiah, which perfectly encapsulated Jonathan's love for peace and quiet.

Jonathan was a self-employed construction contractor, a career he passionately pursued for 60 years. He moved from his birthplace in Connecticut to Texas and North Carolina, finally settling in Vilonia, Arkansas, where he spent 34 years. His work allowed him to channel his creativity and talent into beautiful, sturdy structures that will stand as a testament to his skill for years to come. But his talents weren't just confined to his profession. Jonathan was also a gifted photographer, an avid woodworker, and enjoyed tinkering with automobiles. These hobbies allowed him to express his creativity in different ways, all while providing him the quiet solitude he so loved.

Jonathan was never married, but he was a beloved brother to David and Roberta Ervine. He was preceded in death by his father, Albert Ervine, and his mother, Ruth Ervine. As we remember Jonathan, his loved ones are encouraged to share memories and upload photos on his memorial page, in celebration of a life lived fully and well. The loss of Jonathan is deeply felt, but we find comfort in knowing that his wit, creativity, and talent touched so many lives and will continue to do so through his lasting legacy.

We invite you to leave your memories and photos of Jonathan on his memorial page. His life was a testament to the power of quiet strength, creative spirit, and a good sense of humor. Let's come together to celebrate the life of this remarkable man and keep his memory alive.
