Jonathan R Ellen

Jonathan R. Ellen, 53, of Rotterdam, passed away on February 16, 2023.

Jon was a special person to know, and he touched the hearts of those he met with his smile, personality, happiness and appreciation for the simple things in life.

Jon attended Wildwood Without Walls (The Wow Program) where he easily made friends and enjoyed his days out and about in the community.

Jon was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, and was most proud of his nephews. He enjoyed spending time with his family, outdoors on his bicycle, and had a passion for Star Trek and Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Jon is survived by his loving mom Kathleen; his sister Gretchen and husband John (Kusek); his beloved nephews Andrew and Zachary, and his extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He is preceded in death by his father Robert.

A ceremony for Jon will be held privately for family and close friends.
