Obituary For Jonathan Roberts

Mr. Jonathan Roberts, 62, of Augusta, Georgia answered the call to enter into eternal rest on Sunday, May 23, 2021 at University Hospital.

Jonathan, affectionately known as "Doonk" was born to the parentage of the late Joseph Rice of Atlanta, Georgia and Mollie H. Holliday of Augusta, Georgia.
