Jonathan Lee Hilbert

Jonathan began life as a joyful and energetic boy with a deep love for dogs — he couldn’t go a day without them. He attended Bel-Aire Elementary and Cutler Ridge Middle School. His family later moved to Liberty City, where he found his passion for football and began playing for the Warriors — a team so bonded, they even created a chant together: “W.A.R.R.I.O.R.S.” He gave the game his all and was known as one of the best on the field.

Jonathan was a devoted stepfather and a loving life partner. He worked at several warehouses and later became known for driving trucks for Miami-Dade Garbage. His work ethic was matched only by his big heart — he was the kind of man who welcomed everyone with warmth and respect. His greatest joy and value in life came from the deep love he held for his family and friends.

He was a protector to his sisters, a loyal friend, and someone who loved to party and enjoy life. He was deeply loved by his family, attended Mt. Vernon Church faithfully, and sang in the choir. A huge fan of the Miami Dolphins, Jonathan had a spirit that was full of joy, energy, and love.

Jonathan passed awayt May 9, 2025, his legacy of love, kindness, and loyalty lives on in all who knew him.
