In Loving Memory of

Jonathan Caleb Gillum

April 08, 2001 – January 20, 2019

 

Jonathan Caleb Gillum, 17, who was born and raised in Ocala, FL passed away on Sunday, January 20, 2019. He was born on April 08, 2001 to parents Mary Myrna Gillum and Harold Samuel Gillum Sr. He is Survived by his parents, his brother Harold Samuel Gillum Jr. and his Sister Brittany Rebecca Gillum along with his Grandmother Frances Mildred Weaver and Uncle Albert Matthew Switzer. He is also survived by several 1st and 2nd cousins, aunts, and uncles. He is proceeded in death by his grandfather Jackie Lynn Weaver, his other grandfather William Edward Switzer Sr., his grandmother Mary Lou Switzer, and two uncles; Merle Dean Switzer and William Edward Switzer Jr. Jonathan was loved greatly by his family and will truly be missed.

Jonathan was very talented, he had a lot of hobbies to include playing the guitar, singing in the choir, playing the piano, and he also loved to fix things. Jonathan attended church at Life Tabernacle of Ocala where he was baptized on December 30, 2018. He loved the Lord with all of his heart. He was in the choir and played the guitar at Forest High School where he attended as a senior.

Jonathan was very interested knowing how things worked. If it sparked his curiosity, he would dissect or disassemble and reassemble it. He wanted to attend college to earn a degree in engineering. He was so talented that he taught himself how to play music without taking any lessons; he was so amazing at everything he did.

Jonathan had an amazing girlfriend named La’Niya Johnson. They loved each other dearly and bought a hamster together named Jayce. Jonathan loved animals especially cats. You would rarely find him without a smile, a laugh, or a corny joke to tell. He was surely one of a kind.

Services for Jonathan will be held at Shores Assembly of God located at 206 Midway Rd, Ocala, FL on Saturday February 2, 2019 at 3 PM

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN…
