Johnathan Kicielinski

This is Johnathan

Loving father, Son ,Husband

Johnathan was a great man in many ways. He was an awesome father and
role model for our children. He was a car freak.. The man has owned over 100 cars before his
untimely death. He was a loved member of the community. I honestly cant believe how
Many people actually knew and loved him so much..

Johnathan was an only child growing up in a small Cleveland neighborhood. Everyone knew him
and loved him. He was raised by his grandmother as an only child and received all the
benefits of an only child as well as all the hardships. but he took no prisoners as he grew.

I met Johnathan when my family and I moved to Cleveland from mentor, Ohio.
We started the 6th grade together and sat right across from each other.
We became good friends that year and ever since I knew there was something
special about him. He would wear suits to school and carry a briefcase lol. Can you picture
a 10 yr old boy wearing a suit to school everyday? And carrying a briefcase? That was my
Johnathan. of course he had his G.I. Joes and crayons in the briefcase lol.
He was my very first friend here in Cleveland.. And has been my best friend ever since.
I will see if I can find a picture of him in 6th grade and publish it here

Johnathan and I became wonderful friends and were almost inseparable. He picked me up for school every morning once we turned 16 (legal driving age) and we went everywhere together.
I fell in love with him a long time ago and tried my best to gain his attention all to no avail (or so I thought) We stayed best friends. He was a hard booger to get to open up lol.
Johnathan and I grew apart after high school. I dunno if we honestly grew apart or not
But we lost contact within each of our daily adult lives. I married and he had gotten into a
serious relationship with another woman. We ran into each other along with our significant
others one day in a highly unlikely place.. lol we wont go where at lol.
The kicker to it all is that my Husband Roger knew him automatically when he saw him.
Now Roger had never seen a picture of Johnathan. I never had one myself to show
(He hated his picture being taken) But I must have talked alot about Johnathan cause he knew
him right off the bat. Anyway we all talked a bit and introduced each other.
Roger and I had one child. A boy named Austin and Johnathan had a little girl in his hands.
We all decided to keep in touch. We found out that we only lived a block from each other
and decided to get together and have a little bar-b-que.

It ended up where Johnathan and his girl broke it off for their own reasons. The little girl was not
his daughter but hers from a previous relationship At this point I tried to hook him up with a great friend of mine named Kelly. I figured since I could not have this man I might as well make sure he gets someone who is close to me so we can remain friends. That didn't work out too well.
About a year goes by and Roger and I become pregnant. Roger freaks out and accuses me of cheating and leaves the house. I waited a month he didn't return and never showed interest in returning so I asked for a divorce. He gave it to me with no problems. Even after realizing that
I would not cheat on him and he had just lost me. Roger and I remain friends to this day.
He doesn't accuse me of anything anymore. I think he learned his lesson.
Anyway.. After this had happened and Roger and I were going through the divorce. Johnathan had came around the house more often.. just to watch TV and hang out. It was nice to have him there.

About three or four months had passed since Roger and I started the divorce when Kelly, Johnathan,
and I were watching some TV... Johnathan leaned over into my ear and said
"I know I have screwed up with you a long, long time ago, But when you are ready I would be honored if you would be willing to give me a second chance"
My heart totally melted. I had wanted this man for so, so long in my life. I wanted to be able to hold him and touch his face the way lovers do for so long. I cried that night.
 And ever since we have been together.
October 19th, 1999 he said those words
March 20th 2000 he watched as my second son Andrew was born
October 15th 2001 we were married
December 16th  2001 we had Our daughter Alexis



We were so happy together..
Two people meant for each other. Hand picked by God. Could anyone ask for more?
 

We moved our little family to North Carolina in July of 2002 to make a better home for us and our children.
In May of 2003 Johnathan had some medical problems that needed to be addressed.
He went to a clinic and they said his prostate was enlarged and it was a infection that most men get
Nothing that could have been prevented and nothing to be concerned about. They gave him
some meds to take and all would be fine within 2 weeks.
Johnathan only got worse. he was not urinating and his back had started to hurt badly.
I made him go in for more tests. The meds they had given him sure didn't seem to be working and I
was worried sick. So fathers day we went into the ER. he was admitted with a catheter in place
they drained 2 liters from his bladder within an hour.
The tests came back that he had a rare form of cancer known as Rhabdomyosarcoma.

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
It is a cancer that mainly targets children between the ages of newborn to 5 years old.
Even in children the cancer is rare. But unlike in Adults, Children have a great chance of beating this cancer.
Johnathan was in the minority there.
We moved our family back to Cleveland, Ohio so he can be treated at the best palce we know
The Cleveland Clinic Foundation
He went under chemo, then major sugery where they took out his blader, Prostate and part of his recutm,
Then he also went through many radiation therapy treatments untill finally April 6th they told us
That there was nothing more they could do. the cancer had spread to his Spine and
Blood stream and there was no way left to fight it without doing even more damage to his body.
April 16th he came home from the hospital... to spend the last 10 days of his life with the ones who love him dearly.

Johnathan passed awway Monday April 26th 2004
At home safely with his wife and children.
Just as he wanted

May God bless you baby
