His friends remember Jonny's "fearlessness, his hilarious stories from all his many adventures, his positive attitude to life, his love of a really good kebab…". They tell us:
"Jonny kept his incredible spirit right to the end, joking with carers, chatting about trees, and ordering in from a chicken shop he’d never tried before. He was such a wonderful dad to Joe, and a loyal friend and family member to so many of you.
"We will be celebrating Jonny’s life on Wednesday 2 September with a service at Kingsdown Crematorium at 11.30, followed by time to share our favourite stories of Jonny at the Saracen’s Head Hotel in Highworth. We would love to see you there.
"If you would like to make a gift in Jonny’s memory, we are collecting money for Prospect Hospice, whose brilliant MND specialist Dorinda supported us all over the last two years. More information on this and the funeral here: https://jonathannicholls.muchloved.com".
Thank you to Dan Lloyd and friends for sharing these words with the Alumni office.
