Jontae was a one of kind man! He touched everyone he ever came across! He knew everyone and everywhere he went, he saw someone he knew! It was unbelievable! And if he didn’t know you…he would and you would know him because he talked to anyone about anything and usually started out by saying something to make them smile or laugh. EVERYONE LOVED HIM!
