Jonathan Mason-Davis Tribute

Jonathan volunteered to play the drums for the Union Zion Gospel Chorus. We were so excited that a young man would come from Hampton, VA. to little old Ware Neck (Gloucester County), VA. to play drums for a little old country church. Immediately he was accepted as one of the family. We were also so pleased with his ability to really play the drums and with his patience with our choir.

We knew almost instantly that there was something special about this young man. His smile, his kindness, his easy goingness, and most of all, his love of Jesus. Hallelujah!

To know a young man with such gifts, such joy, such love of the Lord in today's world is a blessing. After witnessing the wonderful words spoken about him at his funeral, I know that his living was not in vain. How proud his parents, grandparents, little sister and others must be of him. He's done more good in his short 20 years than most people do in 50-60 years. Thank you Lord for allowing the members of Union Zion Baptist Church an opportunity to get to know Jonathan Mason-Davis.

May his family find peace in knowing that he was greatly loved and that God now has an even better plan for him. What an angel.
