Jonathan was born on May 17th, 1985, in Tahlequah, OK, the son of David Lee and Bobbi Jean (Moore) Buchanan. He grew up with one brother, Jimmy Don Harlow and one sister, Leigh Leann Buchanan, attended school then decided to work as a landscaper, he loved being outdoors. He was always ready to go do a little fishing at his favorite spot or perhaps a day spent hunting, especially deer. He was proud of his Cherokee heritage, and showed his pride with his Native Arts and Crafts and tattoo. Always the rebel, he had his own style, his personality and ways of expressing himself. He was kind and loving, and was happiest seeing those around him smile. He treasured his family, and any chance he had to spend time with his daughter Natalie was always a good day to Jonathan. When ever time permitted, he enjoyed family gatherings and holidays with those he loved. Jonathan passed far too soon on July 14th, 2018 in New Orleans, LA, he was 33 years old. He will be greatly missed by all those who loved him dearly.
He is preceded in death by his mother Bobbi Jean Moore-Smith, his grandparents, and several aunts and uncles.
