Jonathan David Day

Jonathan David Day, affectionately known as "JJ", left this earthly dwelling unexpectedly Saturday, January 9, 2021 at the tender age of 9. The youngest of three children, JJ was born on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Jonathan C. and Kristen R. (nee Wind) Day.

It would be next to impossible for anyone to match the amount of exuberance that filled the room when JJ was in it. Passionate about life, he was quite the entertainer and loved to make others laugh. Perhaps his dreaming and joking about being Mickey Mouse at Disney World was not too far off.

A student at Mason Elementary School, his favorite subject was math. JJ enjoyed playing soccer for Cincinnati United, especially as the striker. Well-disciplined in the art of Karate, JJ had earned his green with black stripe belt and was preparing for his blue belt test.

JJ's love for his family and friends was heartfelt. He was loved and never hesitated to let others know how much he cared for and loved them back. JJ even read to his dogs, Jett and Max, making sure they felt loved too. JJ's larger than life personality has left a mark on many hearts. He will be cherished forever.

JJ was preceded in death by: maternal grandfather, David Wind.

JJ is survived by: parents, Jon and Kristen Day; sisters, Madison Day and Morgan Day; paternal grandparents, George and Vivian (nee Rohr) Day; maternal grandmother, Mary (nee McGraw) Wind; aunts and uncles, Brian (Wendi) Day, Robin Day, Nick (Meri) Day, Bonnie (Shaun) Miller, Suzanne (Eric) Tuffendsam, Nathan Day, Tony Wind, and Mike (Emilea) Wind; cousins, Molli Day, Adrianna, Amberley, & Angie Day, Ashton & Luke Day, Gavin, Gabe, & Grant Miller, Owen, Eric, Calvin, & Amelia Tuffendsam, and Carter & Allie Wind; many friends including, Chloe Rainsberg, Nate Hughes, Brayden Belisle, Grayson Janzen, Blake Ruston, Ryan McGeorge, Isaac Miller, Wyatt Foster, Finley Winship, Camden Malich, Heath Rankin, Sami Saleh, Noah Chabot, Noah Creech, Gavin Mosier, Levi Reynolds, and so many more.
