Cherished son of William and Mary Keese; beloved brother of William II (Morgan) Keese and Kristen Keese; dear uncle to Maggie Keese.

Jonathan was born in Niagara Falls, New York and grew up in Youngstown, New York. He moved to Lehigh Acres in 2005 and attended Fort Myers High School, graduating in 2010. Jonathan spent many years working in his family’s restaurant, Il Primo Pizza & Wings. He was a devoted employee and manager, and always a friendly and welcoming face to all patrons of the restaurant.

Jonathan had immense passion for motors, cars, or anything that went fast. He could often be found autocrossing his car at the Gulf Coast Autocrossers club, alongside his father. Jonathan was a naturally skilled racer, who frequently would walk away with a first place trophy. Jonathan’s smile always lit up any room he was in, and will be very dearly missed by all who knew him.
