Obituary

Jonathan R. Zylstra, 61, died Sept. 30th at home in Pullman, Wa.  He was born in Oakland, Ca. Nov. 30, 1957, to Margaret and Art Zylstra.  He is survived by 3 siblings, Catherine (Gary) Owens, Lennard (Susan) Zylstra, Sylvia (Rod) Dittmer, and 8 nieces and nephews.  Swimming in the American River during his early years gave him a passion for the outdoors, which remained throughout his life. He was honorably discharged from the Navy. He worked for several different organzations, Youth Outreach, Dept. of Corrections - Juvenile Hall, in Vancouver, Wa. and 7 Cedars Casino in Sequim, Wa.  Sober, transformed by Jesus, he spent the last five years of his life in Pullman active in A.A. and his church.  Being  generous with his time and money he served his community willingly. A big man, he leaves a big hole.  Jonathan lived deep, loved deep, and swam deep.  His parting words were always: "Stay in the Light."
