JONATHAN GREGORY BRANDIS----IN OUR HEARTS FOR EVER AND FOR ALWAYS
To Everyone,
The reason I haven't posted a new chapter is because I haven't brought myself to write one. In five days, this is the most out of the MSN group, TO2B I can do. My heart has been clutched in the grips of grief and great pain, and I was housebound for 3 days and throwing up, breaking into hysterical tears, denial, numb depression, crying, everything. It's as if someone took a dull cork screw, ripped out a part of me from deep inside, crumbled it up in filthy hands, and crushed it repeatedly beneath a dirty boot.
The reason is not simple, nor is it any easier to say than it would be ten years from now.
I am very very very sad to inform everyone who did no know about the untimly, hurtful, and sorrow filled death of Jonathan Gregory Brandis.
Jonathan died on November 12th, 2003 at Ceders-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. He was found by friends uncoscious in his apartment near midngith of November 11th, and taken to the hospital where he passed away. Coroner's Office has identified him as our Jon. The news hit me like a ton of granite bricks. His death is exactly 2 months to the day that I met him.
He was only 27 years old.
There are too many rumors explaining exactly how he died, but until the toxicology reports get back, no one will know for sure, and it could take four to six weeks for that. This tragic news has recently been posted in the L.A Times, and the Chicago Sun-Times.
Jonathan Gregory Brandis was born April 13, 1976 to Greg and Mary Brandis. His father was a firefighter, and his mother was a teacher and his former manager. He was an exceptional actor since his parents were first told to put him in commercials at age 2. We watched him grow up, we followed his career through from commercials to the recent and unreleased "Puerta Valara Squeeze," and we sent him letters of incouragment. He became a part of our family.
He had roles as everything--from drugies to a martial arts student, from Fantasia hero to P.O.W, to a writer avoiding the draft, but his most memorable claim to fame is as the SeaQuest's young computer genius, Lucas Wolenczak..
The part riochetted him to the top of Seventeens "10 sexiest men" list, and a teen idol.
Lucas Wolenczak entered our homes in 1993 every sunday night on NBC with the rest of the memorable SeaQuest crew. He woo'd us, he made us laugh, he brought reality to the young cocky genius, and he paved the way for like characters in future shows. He gave the computer nerd status a whole new identity. Intelligent and cool.
Jonathan will never know how much he has touched the hearts of fans, friends, and family all over the world. We miss him terribley--I miss him terribly--but we know he will always there in our writings and poems. He will live on in our hearts as a wonderful, caring, gracious and fabulous human being--an inspiration to us all. God broke the mold when made Jon, and now he's gone home to the arms of the angels.
He will be in my heart for ever and for always, and I will love him for the rest of my life.
Jonathan Gregory Brandis, may the Lord bless you and keep you. May he make his face to shine upon you and give you peace, and let a chorus of angels sing thee to they rest.
*In loving memory of a friend*
