Obituary of Jonathan William deBakker-Rombough

Jonathan deBakker/(Rombough

It is with sadness in our hearts that Jonathan passed at such a young age, taken by fentanyl opioids. Jon’s struggle with mental illness led to addiction for 20 plus years. Jon was always supported by family. His battle was lost through a system with limited resources, creating an unmanageable strain on the family in a world that refused to see him as a human being. Jon was a decent, caring person known for his quick wit, fierce determination, and generous spirit. Jon passed away on Sunday, October 30, 2022, at the age of 39 years. Survived by his parents Mark and Tracey Rombough, siblings Myles, Brett and Renee. Jon will be sadly missed by all that knew him.
