Jonathan Whiteside

In loving memory of Jonathan Haven Whiteside, who passed away peacefully at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga on Monday, May 18, 2015 at the age of 52. Beloved husband of Roseanna Maria Whiteside. Most loved and cherished father of Connor and Lauren. Son of Haven, Rose (predeceased) and Ann. He will be sadly missed by his siblings Joanna (Curt), Matthew (Sherri), and Kathy. Cherished brother-in-law to John (Jennifer), and Renato (Janis). He will also be fondly remembered by aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Jonathan was born in Boston, Massachusetts and was raised in Washington D.C. and the State of Maine. At a chance encounter, he met the love of his life and moved permanently to Canada. Jonathan enjoyed living life to the fullest by spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed softball, golf and hockey. He was passionate about his career in the construction industry. He had great respect for his employers Terry and Robert, and the rest of his colleagues at Penalta Group. His sense of humour, his strong work ethic and his bravery will be an inspiration to all who knew Jonathan. He made a strong impression on everyone he met, and he will be greatly missed. The family wishes to send a sincere and heartfelt thank you to family, friends, neighbours and our community of priests for their prayers of support, countless visits and phone calls. A special thank you to Dr. Jeff Myers and his team at Credit Valley Hospital for their compassion, tenderness and guidance through this difficult journey.
