This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Jonathan Stainback, 45 years old.  Gone too soon.  We will remember him forever.

Jonathan Wayne Stainback, 45 years old, of Nags Head, NC, was born November 23, 1973 and passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 15, 2018.  Jonathan was also known to friends and family as Johnny and Jon.  Jonathan grew up living in Colonial Heights, VA. He resided in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands and in the Florida Keys for years.  Jonathan always seemed to make it back to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where he called home.

Jonathan was a charismatic, adventurous, free spirit.  He loved the beach, surfing and fishing.  Most of all, Jonathan loved spending time with his family and a great group of friends that will miss him dearly.  He was also quite the artist, often times making personalized birthday cards and sketches.

Jonathan will be lovingly remembered by his father, C.D. Stainback, of Colonial Heights, VA; his sister, Angel Stainback Avery and her husband, Chris Avery, adored nephew and niece, Casey and Abbey Avery, of Chesterfield, VA; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.  Jonathan was preceded in death by his mother, Eva "Judy" Stainback; grandparents, William B. Stainback and Florence Mae Winfield Stainback, Edgar L. Talbott, Jr. and Teeco Dalton Talbott.

Jonathan was part of the team at Tortugas' Lie in Nags Head, NC, where he will be sadly missed.

"and think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched...for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much"
