Jonah was not only my brother, he was my best friend. We shared so many memories in his short 16 years, the likes of which I’ll never forget. From running and doing football drills in the backyard, countless hunting and fishing trips and so many Saturdays spent watching Georgia football games. He was a precious human being that was taken from us far too soon due to the negligence of another individual. I am so proud and grateful to have had him in my life, I could not have asked for a better brother. I love you dude! I will see you again one day! Toodles!

While funeral details for Jonah Seabolt have not yet been finalized, friends and family have gathered to offer their condolences in their own ways.
